We really enjoyed our 2-hour sunset cruise in Istanbul. The group was around 25 people, and the organisers made everything smooth by setting up a WhatsApp group in advance, which was super handy. Our guide, Alpy, was friendly and shared great insights as we cruised past some of Istanbul’s most iconic sights. The sunset views over the Bosphorus were absolutely beautiful. Snacks, wine, and hot drinks were provided — a nice touch that made the whole experience feel relaxed and welcoming. A lovely way to spend an evening in Istanbul!

Great sunset cruise experience.

Sandra_C, Oct 2025

The whole experience was fantastic. The organizer created a group chat on WhatsApp to keep us all informed and give updates. It was a small group of 8 total. We were greeted with enthusiasm and hospitality as we embarked on on cruise. Our guide, Mert, was the perfect host, and gave us details of the area and specific structures we passed during the trip. The weather was also perfect. Mert completed his hospitality by sending us all dining recommendations in the area.

Could have been so much more. Guide split time between decks. Not much history explained. That's what I was looking for.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We're sorry to hear the experience didn’t meet your expectations. We do not use audio guides on our tours. Our guides provide live narration. Our guides are officially Tursab certified. It is not possible for them not to tell you about the places you see during the tour. However, problems may have occurred due to weather conditions or your location on the yacht. We appreciate you joining us and hope to offer a better experience in the future.

Excellent tour

highly appreciated that they use whataspp 2 days ago to confirm with me the booking, and teach me how to go to the meeting point, as a tourist, it's very useful and user-friendly. giving me all the information and show pictures to me on how to get to the meeting point. It's high appreciated and very thoughful. When I am abroad the ship, it's comfortable and provided me with Turkish snacks and drink, the Turkish tea is offered as well which is interesting to me. Of course, the sunset on Bosphorus is magnificent. The guide is "navigating" us all the way, telling us and filling us with information about all the architecture on both bank, that's make the whole cruise much more fun. All the staff on board the ship is courteous, hard working and friendly.
