Too loud and too many people, not a group of 30…

CARLOS_O, Dec 2023
We booked a tour for maximum 30 people, and enemies up being herded like sheep walking through Istanbul to a bus to be able to get to a boat that had at least 200 people in it… it was like a market, loud and very noisy (sometimes you couldn’t even listen to the explanation on the speaker… not really what we signed up for

I think there is a mistake here, private boats and group tour boats have different prices.

Good value for the price

Iain_A, Apr 2021
For the price very good, the organisation to get on the boat was a bit muddled. But once on the boat it was a long tour for a good price. Don’t expect much from the commentary its sporadic and they spend more time talking about the on board concessions. It’s not a live tour guide but a recording. But its a good price and you seem most of the sights so go in with your eyes open and its good value.
