Top Istanbul Day Cruises - page 8

The group was bigger than I expected but I needn’t have worried, the yacht was big and comfortable with lots of space for everyone. The service was great with individual plates of fruits , deserts, nuts provided for each passenger. The tour took us to the 2nd bridge on the Bosphorus with a great tour guide pointing out key points of interest on the East and West shores. Recommend to get a broader view if life in Istanbul.

Its a smaller group experience. The commentary is entertaining and informative. The crew hand out blankets, tea and small snacks. Its a little bit more expensive than other tours but was worth it in my opinion. There is a short stop of around 35 minutes on the Asian side. Its a lovely way to see Istanbul and there are plenty of chances to speak with the crew abiut places to see and visit in Istanbul. I highly recommend the tour.

All the details were very helpful from making the reservation online at Viator, to the meeting point and the point of contact, to communication with the team through WhatsApp, and finally the informative and lovely tour with Alpy, Captain and crew. We paid a little extra for the one glass of wine, but Alpy was incredibly generous by always offering more. There was more snacks and more wine, it seemed. Alpy also provided an abundance of information on the rich and meaningful history of the architecture and geography of Istanbul. It’s an interesting perspective of the city when you’re on the3 waterway. He also was very charming, trying to engage those on shore - quite entertaining; it takes a lot to remember and share so much detailed information and perform while being personable. He did it all very well. I’m usually a seasick person, so I stayed in one spot, front middle of the boat behind the captain so that I could have a view of the horizon and the land. I was totally fine. Not an issue at all.

The speaker was very well informed and gave plenty of historical information about the various sites we went past. The snacks were a wide variety and yummy too! Bring warm clothes! They had blankets for us, but I still recommend it's better to bring too much clothes. We went in early March and I wish I had brought warmer clothes. The views from inside are just as wonderful as from outside.

Very nice trip. The sights of the incredible Istanbul by the Bosphorous were amazing and the fact it was snowing it was a magic day for the kids. What I would only change is the time to walk in the city and give at least the hour it was said in the tour. We were only given 30 minutes and with kids we couldn't have the chance to walk farther than the port area. Other than that it was a great day.

Sweet and simple, just hard to find so walk all the way down where ferry boats end and there’s a big building you have to walk around to find Sea land travel agency. Once you do, you’re good. Announcements relay facts about sites in multiple languages, and you have lots of photo opps on the top deck and can relax below at covered tables. I spilled free hot tea on myself twice so watch the waves.

This was a great full day tour that was very well paced and included a lot of major attractions with lunch just adding to the experience. Our guide Muzaffer was so knowledgeable and helpful and kept us on schedule. Pick up and drop off were spot on. Highly Recommended!

Lovely experience with a very knowledgeable guide! Great way to see the city and I highly recommend taking the sunset tour as a beautiful way to see the city during the day and at night. Make sure to bring cash for the alcoholic beverages as they don’t take card. Highly recommend!
