1st class service on a first class yacht

Chad_Q, May 2024

Impeccable in every way. The cake I ordered was exceptional. The service was very nice and they even for a price moved the meeting point to Galataport to keep us from having to get a long ride. This is first class all the way.

Private Bosphorous tour

noneth_p, Nov 2022

We have a laser greetings that surprise everyone but disappointed with the service . The host welcome us very well into the boat but didn't offer any drinks of water,cola but offered the wine which we pay it extra. We pay extra for the table to look nice if we nibble something as it says on the booking snacks , cakes , drinks included but never served As the tour nearly finish and we are thirsty we asked for water and cola to the waiter but didn't served. As we about to leave the boat I told the host about the inclusions we expect and seems or pretend that he is not aware, he checked his phone and offered if we want it, how could we have it if we are leaving already, as a host they should know this already . Thinking about it, kt was funny to have a table set and not been used and mind you we pay for it. Booking this tour be aware of weather conditions - it was raining and windy so the boat was covered and you can not enjoyed the view fully. The pick up point is too far from the center. It took us over an hour in a taxi from Sultanahmet and cost 1,200 Turkish lira

Response from Host, Nov 2022

Thank you for your review. It is important for us to create the best private yacht experience on Bosphorus for you. If there is a misunderstanding about the inclusions and these are not served even though you requested we would be happy investigate further. Please contact us from info@lotusyat.com further about your experience. Not to mislead our guests, it is important to indicate that our tours start from the heart of Bosphorus, on both Asian and European Sides, Bebek or Kandilli. We are sorry to hear about the experience you had with the taxi. Normally taxi should take around 120TL to 200TL (prices are TL values for 2022) depending on traffic and location of your hotel. Alternatively we have a VIP pick up service from Sultanahmet, which is 750TL for up to 6 guests (prices are TL values for 2022). We also have a pick up option with yacht from Sultanahmet area, Galata Port, Karakoy or Kabatas pier, which you may add to your tour.
