Our family of 4 had such a great time on this cruise. It was really nice to have the time together to truly enjoy the sights without being on an overly crowded Bato bus. Our tour guide Robert was so much fun and was so knowledgeable about the city. He also did a great job of making the tour fun for the kids. We would definitely recommend this to a small group or family traveling together.

Matthew_S, Apr 2026

Great Experience with a Fantastic Guide

I did this tour solo and had a really great experience overall. I ended up skipping the cruise portion since I was pretty tired, but it was nice knowing the ticket is valid for a full year so I can use it another time. The highlight was definitely the tour guide. He was extremely knowledgeable, kept things engaging with humor, and made the whole experience feel relaxed and enjoyable. It was also very easy to ask questions, which made it feel more interactive and personal rather than just a scripted tour. Even going alone, I felt comfortable the entire time and would recommend this to anyone considering a solo outing.

Paris Gourmet Dinner Seine River Cruise with Singer and DJ Set

Raymond_F, Apr 2026

Had a really great time!

It was a parteeee!. The views were great at night, the boat very stable, and the staff very friendly. Tge singer was very good and it made the boat ride and looking at the sites more menorable. Towards the end she was having people dance and even after we docked she still kept the party going. The drinks were very reasonable and the wait staff kept tabs and charged accurately at the end. Go and get the foie gras upgrade but this is really good for 2, so only one upgrade is needed. It is worth the price!

Mega Lüfer Dinner Cruise Bosphorus and Show with Private Table

Jennifer_G, Apr 2026

Beautiful view and fantastic show

The cruise was so much fun! We booked the VIP table and had a beautiful view seated right by the window. The food and service were certainly good. Definitely. More food than we could possibly eat! But what we enjoyed the most was the floor show! Honestly although the scenery is lovely with the city historic sites and bridges decorated in beautiful lights, we were so fascinating with the floor show folk dances that we forgot to look at the sights too much. This is a great tour. Definitely recommend the hotel pick up and drop off after the tour since it ends late at night and the boats dock in a place that would be tricky to get transportation that late at night.

Very good tour, wonderful places

A very positive experience, and everything was easy: from booking to finding the meeting point. Our guide was very knowledgeable and provided us with lots of interesting information during the visit. I took the guided tour with my children, aged 13 and 17, who are not native English speakers, but it was still easy for them to follow the guide and listen to his explanations. Wonderful places.

WONDERS of ISTANBUL: PRIVATE Full-Day Guided City Tour

Cyril_M, Apr 2026

We had an excellent...

We had an excellent one-day guided tour of Istanbul (around 6–7 hours) with Sema, and it truly exceeded our expectations. She was incredibly kind, engaging, and highly knowledgeable—not only about the city’s rich history and major monuments, but also about daily life in Istanbul today. What we particularly appreciated was how flexible and customizable the tour was. It felt very personal, and having a private guide made the entire experience much more enjoyable and relaxed. Sema adapted seamlessly to our interests and answered all of our questions with clarity and enthusiasm. A big advantage was the skip-the-line access she provided. While we still needed to purchase entrance tickets for places like Topkapi Palace and the Basilica Cistern, avoiding the queues saved us a significant amount of time—especially valuable in such a busy city. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and a perfect introduction to Istanbul, especially for a first day. We highly recommend this tour to anyone looking for an insightful, efficient, and personalized way to explore the city.

Paris Seine River Champagne Tasting Cruise

Sharon_P, Mar 2026

Very fun and special activity!

I didn’t really know what to expect from this experience, but it turned out to be fabulous! I surprised my adult daughters with this champagne tasting / river cruise and they all loved it! Jasmina was our sommelier and it was obvious she loves her job teaching people about champagne. She gave just the right amount of information to make it informative, but still allowed us to see Paris as the sun set and everything became illuminated. We had amazing views and photos of the glowing Eiffel Tower. We were in a separate glass enclosed area with about 25 passengers and enjoyed taking our champagne outside to a special area on the front of the boat. It was a very special evening!
