Epic at sea boat tour!

Natina_H, Jan 2026

It was my 2nd time booking at sea boat tour. It was an epic experience traveling on historical and ancient waterways! I thoroughly enjoyed touring two Princes' Island, Heybeliada and Buyukada. It was an enriching education and wonderful experience. Our guide Mert was professional, knowledgeable and superb! He also gave clear instructions regarding boat schedules. Thank you kindly!

Good Operator

Salman_M, Dec 2025

I had booked this tour but I couldn't catch up as i was late. But the communication was very good. Easy to contact with operator. He gave me the option to travel next day but i couldn't. So i got the full refund.

Princes Islands

Malcolm_M, Aug 2025

A very enjoyable day seeing 2 beautiful islands, good fish restaurants and learning more about the history of Istanbul

A scenic, well-planned...

A_M, Aug 2025

A scenic, well-planned journey, made exceptional by the helpful and welcoming organisers. The boat was comfortably uncrowded, departed and arrived on time, and was excellent value for money.

Highly recommend!

Excellent day trip to the Princes Islands. Got a bit of history along the way, went to an old Greek school, had a swim and ice cream. Thanks to our fantastic guide Mert for a fabulous day!!
