Disappointing

matthewf1983, Sep 2026

This tour was ok. I thought the dervish dance would be the main show, but it wasn't, it was about 5 or 10 minutes when the boat left the marina. There was food onboard which was nice and wasn't expected. The boat was not that clean and there were a lot of mosquitos, myself and my fellow traveller got bitten by one. There was also a parrot onboard, which was brilliant, but people were obliged to take photos with it even if they didnt want to, which I didnt think was right, I didnt agree with how the parrot was being disciplined either, as an owner of parrot it upset me a bit. An album was made which was a nice touch but people didnt ask for it, come the end of the trip, you had the option to buy it , €10 per photo and multiple were taken. You were not able to take your own photos, which was something else I didn't agree with. I would say there are better trips out there with a dervish show that is the highlight.

Boat cruise in Istanbul

Carolanne_O, May 2025

Great tour, the guide was easy to hear and gave a good running commentary of the places we passed by, Spent the first half of the cruise inside the boat at our allocated table, listening to the guide, watching the dancing and the beautiful macaw. Bar and snacks were available. I understand they had a toilet onboard but I didn’t use it. Then the second half on the top deck. The bottom deck was mostly enclosed with a small outside area at the back and the top decks blinds were down, with the back of the boat open with a boxed area to sit on around the sides. it wasn’t busy so we had plenary of space. Great afternoon thank you

Great Bosphorus Tour

necdet_s, Jul 2024

I can say that it is the most attractive place in Istanbul. It was a great tour and very affordable price, thank you very much. The boat was clean and the staff were very welcoming, our guide was very knowledgeable and explained the history of Istanbul and the Bosphorus. I recommend it to everyone, you should definitely try Diamonds of the Bosphorus Tour.
