Private Cruise on Bosphorus with Guide.

Igor_S, Sep 2025

We enjoyed our private cruise on the Bosporus with a guide. It was a 2 hour cruise that included drinks and snacks. The guide was knowledgeable about the points of interest and history, along the cruise . I would definitely recommend this cruise.

Lovely staff, boat and trip

Paul_S, Jul 2025

This was not a super cheap trip but I thought it was worth it - they were well organised and communicated well before the trip and were very attentive, friendly and professional throughout. Elena was very good at checking on our needs. The boat was lovely and clean and comfortable and a great way to see the sites. Snacks and initial drinks were good but drinks costs beyond what we were given would have been high - overall excellent we all enjoyed it

This people called me...

Margarita_P, Oct 2024

This people called me many times before my booked fully paid trip asking to move my trip for 2 hours earlier, than at the end that have changed the meeting location which was 30 min far from existing one, I had to pay extra money for the taxi and spend another hour in Istanbul traffic, so bad experience. Because I booked it for my mother birthday for certain time and location close to our hotel. Boat is super old, it doesn’t worth the money, you can take cheaper one and it will be the same
