We had the afternoon 2-hour cruise together with our family and a pleasant 20minute stop on Asian side for nice local ice cream-yoghurt. Everything was absolutely perfect and above expectation . Continuous service through snacks / water / coffee (included in price) by very professional and polite crew and tour guide. We found the price super-reasonable for a semi-private cruise (total 15 persons on a big yacht) considering that a private cruise will be boring and on a smaller boat with sky-high price (around 500-700euro). WOULD HIGHLY RECOMMEND it is the perfect Bosphorus tour option!

Really loved the tour as it covers both Asian and European side which tbh is really worth looking at. The tour included commentary, welcome drink and some sweet snacks om board. The weather was awful on the day but they have covered top. Worst the price that we paid for (70 Euro) which did not include hotel pickup and drop.
