This was a great experience. Hotel pickup was scheduled and on time. The boat was a great size, lovely snacks, and tour guide was informative/funny. It was a beautiful way to see Istanbul from the Bosphorus.

Must do!
Excellent experience, this was a smaller group on a very nice clean yacht. They explained what you were seeing as you passed along on the Bosphorus strait (not river) and gave lots of snacks too! Loved doing it during the day to really be able to see everything, and we got dolphins too!

Full day highlights of Istanbul
Full day starting with the Hippodrome Vlue Mosque Hagia Sophia then minivan transport to Pierre Loti Hill then ride down the cable car then van ride to Balat then Bosphorus afternoon cruise. Great value for your money. My guide Baki was great.

Everybody is very helpful, starting with the young woman who picked me up at my hotel.
It's the best way to see the Bosphorus, comfortable, well informed and lovely. It summarizes the essential for a 1st - or in my case- last time.

Grateful night I be solo traveling
The Bosphorus night cruise was an unforgettable experience. The views of the illuminated palaces and bridges were breathtaking, providing a perfect backdrop for the evening. The entertainment was lively and authentic, showcasing the best of Turkish culture. I was also impressed by the quality of the dinner and the professional service of the crew. Everything was well-organized and happened right on schedule. I highly recommend this tour to anyone looking to see Istanbul’s magic from the water."

When to visit

The Bosphorus is a must-visit for history buffs and all first-time visitors to the city of Istanbul, the ideal way to see the sites along the European and Asian shores.
There are city-run public cruises as well as more intimate private cruises available. Some include lunch or dinner on board.
In the summer, it’s popular to rent a boat for dining on the Strait.
Swimming in the Bosphorus is not safe or recommended; the water can be quite choppy, and there are strong currents.
