The best night out in Istanbul
Loved this experience with Ziya. We had a great night out visiting some of the best locations in Istanbul. Ziya is very accommodating, and so knowledgeable. Her love for Istanbul is infectious, you can’t help but fall in love with the city the way she narrates it. She was also very accommodating to our fussy 8 and 10 year old kids - they had the best night out. Food is delicious and the view on the rooftop bar is amazing. Highly recommend

Perfect fall day for a boat ride
Very good communication about pick up. Crew was very attentive and we enjoyed the information about the city as we toured. The treats and beverages were perfect. Plenty of room on board . Crew offered to take pictures for us. We felt safe, weather was great and crew was attentive. Transportation to and from was perfect.

Great Option for Seeing the Highlights in Old City Istanbul!
I traveled to Istanbul for work so only had one day to see some of the city. This was the perfect option to hit the highlights in Old City Istanbul: Hippodrome, Blue Mosque, Hagia Sofia, Basilica Cistern and Grand Bazaar. Batu was a wonderful guide! He provided details about where we visited that I never would have figured out on my own, clued me into some delicious spots to grab a bite or a tea and answered all my (many) questions! Highly recommend!!!!

Excellent 2 1/2 Hour Tour of Iconic Istanbul Sites
Excellent tour, if you have a knowledgeable and personable guide. Our guide, Umut Ozdiker, gave us excellent overview of the history of the Blue Mosque, Haige Sophia and the Hippodrome. The pace of the tour was good…not too fast or too slow. You must be able to walk and stand for 2 1/2 to 3 hours. Haige Sophia is under renovation with lots of scaffolding and blocked views…but still a must see if you’re in Istanbul. This tour was half the price of the cruise excursion…and Umut was more interesting and engaging than the ship’s guest lecturer on Istanbul. Would highly recommend.

Lovely cruise
This was an excellent cruise with a great commentary. It visited both sides of the Bosporus. The crew were very helpful and friendly, snacks and soft drinks served with wine and beer available to purchase. We enjoyed the spectacular sun set sitting watching it disappear over the hills.
We would throughly recommend this cruise.

Great experience - highly recommend
This is an excellent tour; our guide Muzarraf was friendly and has great historical knowledge, the sites we visited are spectacular and it was so good not to have to queue or buy tickets for the museums. The timing of the tour also works very well as there were limited crowds. We highly recommend this experience.

Perfect experience, even the 2nd time.
This is THE top-notch experience in all options of Bosphorus Cruises. This was our second time taking the same tour, on the same boat; this time with a fabulously entertaining Serdar as our tour guide. The boat is spacious and NEVER overcrowded. They limit the number of passengers but both times we took this tour, there was about half the maximum number of guests. The boat is in excellent shape, new, and well-maintained. The entire staff could not do enough for us. They were also punctual.

Flexible and Fun!
This tour was perfect! Our guide, Celal, was friendly, witty, and knowledgeable. We appreciated all of his local knowledge, recommendations, and explanation of the history of Istanbul. He explained thousands of years of history in a way that was easy to understand. Best of all, the tour was flexible! He allowed us to choose our pace and where we went. I highly recommend!

Great tour
Mr. Sabhi was knowledgeable, great sense of humor, very organized and fun to listen to. He made sure to go over some info even for the parts we explored by ourselves. Truly a memorable experience. We can’t wait to come back once the Sulran’s room and Sultana’s room are opened to public after renovations. Thank you.

Skip the boat cruise at the end!
Great tour! Glad we booked it at the last minute because they really show you just about everything. Our tour guide, Batu, was kind and humorous. However, it is quite tiring, so in retrospect, I would have skipped the boat tour at the very end and scheduled that part for another day to get the full benefit from it. FYI, the best WESTERN style bathrooms at the mosques and the restaurants.

Tasty Food Day in Istanbul.
Great food selection and variety. Awesome host with tons of information about the city and the food scene. Covered a lot of ground….saw parts of the city that we would not have without doing the tour. Got great recommendations on other things to see and experience.

A Day in Istanbul
What an amazing day we had with Renan in Istanbul! It was a rainy, dreary day but Renan brought some sunshine with her pleasant personality. My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our time with her. She was informative and thorough. We saw the palace, blue mosque and the grand bazaar. She helped us navigate it all and we really felt like we learned a lot about Istanbul as well as the culture. The company picks up
And drops off in very comfortable and roomy vans. An unforgettable experience.
