Economical tourist friendly boat tour

phillip_L, Sep 2025

Price of the tour was right and the ship leaves on time, but don’t expect a stay of the art services in fact, some of the window glasses were crack. It is nicely and hop on hop off boat so ideally can visit multiple destinations on one trip. His come what day mobile phone app that provides audio guy in multiple languages so that was nice. we didn’t have time so we just took the entire boat trip in one shot. Also, who look for a short convenience boat trip in Istanbul this may work for you but again don’t expect too much how to go to.
