Customer reviews of tours in Istanbul

Overall a superb show! Beautiful ambiance and arrangements. From pickup till drop everything was good. And Snowfall made it even more breathtaking. 100% value for money i guess.

it was great experience, apart from food, food was just ok, unlimited juices and softdrinks, every entertainment you find here

Frankly surprised by the quality of the show, and the way the waiters take care of us, after the food is simple, a big thank you to the great team

Great entertainment with nice view and very kind staff. Highly recommend!

Couldn’t find boat when arrived, got sent left right and centre, on and off different boats for the best part of half hour totally ruined the beginning of the trip! Once we finally made it on the boat and calmed down then it was an enjoyable night.

The experience was really pleasant! I loved the food and the shows were great! The transport was also very easy and comfortable. All in all it is an experience that should not be missed…. And we will do it again for sure!

A perfect organization and evening, very good meal, attentive staff, punctual transport and varied and funny show, outing to do

The cruise was great, he thought that the dinner was very good, the attention of the waiters is very good, always attentive in case I needed something, the dances were with professional people, very well synchronized, the best was the end, they played music and many encouraged to dance on the dance floor, it was beautiful to live something like this again! I also want to emphasize that it is a family environment as well.

Great .. nice to do At least once .. go under the bridge is beautiful .. are beautiful photos.

It is very good value for money. They come to pick you up at the hotel and then they take you. The drink is unlimited, it is very dynamic. The only thing that there is no distance due to Covid and I missed that they do it for Spaniards. For everything else very well.

Perfect, the driver was great, the atmosphere and welcome in the boat incredible! Great show. The food was good. I recommend 100000%! Top top top top

Great experience!!! We had a great guide Mehmet and I really recommend this tour to everyone who wants to hear something about real Instabul.. Great tour and Thumbs up!!!

Complete trip and exceptional treatment. They had the detail of inviting us to fruit and soft drinks

I think with better weather it would have been good and a boat a bit more comfortable and a tour also offered in English in the recording

The cruise was not bad. I couldn't download the audio guide application because I couldn't find it in the AppleStore. Before boarding they offer you a free juice, coffee, water, or fruit. If it is cold it has a closed part in which you can be.

The tour was very well organized. All employees were very friendly, especially "Osi" helped us a lot.

This was a special experience for me. I had no idea just how beautiful Istanbul really was until i saw it on the water. U can actually see Asia and Europe! I loved how the commentary spoke of the history as well; I learned a lot. The scenery was just amazing and the weather was perfect. I couldn’t ask for anything more. The manager of the tour was also the best. He assisted me with directions and allowed me to have the best possible experience. I recommend this tour to anyone visiting Istanbul. It is a must!!

THIS tour & the evening Bosphorus tour are any visitors must-do. Amazing sights; the bridges, palaces, academy and villas, are ALL screen-savers to say the least. Though the Istanbul heat in August is at a 10yr high. Upper-deck was at capacity. Social-distancing below could be had, but obviously for a reason. Loved it.

Thanks for a great excursion! Everything is organized at the highest level. Istanbul at sunset is wonderful !!

An amazing experience to do in istambul!!! I fully recommended ! Everything was amazing

Great way to spend 2 1/2 hours during our first trip to Istanbul. There were 24 guests on the boat but there was room to spread out and the staff gave everyone individual attention. Beautiful sightseeing of both sides of Istanbul from the river. Snacks (fruit, nuts, sweets) were included in the price of the ticket. Drinks were extra. Highly recommend

Excellent service, friendly and helpful staff, a beautiful evening with a view of the Bosphorus. Everything is enchanting

Unique experience with tasty snacks and knowledgeable explanations.

Very nice sunset cruise, great way to see the Bosphorous. The organisation and communication was prompt and efficient. The yacht was modern and not too crowded. The guide and crew were attentive and informative. Snacks and drinks provided were okay.

Amazing experience and the snacks provided were absolutely delicious. Best tour of the Bosphorus that is available.

Superb superb superb! We had an amazing time with the best possible crew! Everything is amazing and we enjoyed every moment! Don't miss it!

We liked it very much. Great service. Delicious snack. Fantastic views. Highly recommended

This is really the perfekt way to edplorer Istanbul beautiful city. The yacht and the stuff and after all this program is in best category. We are very enjoyed and thank you very much again.

This would be a great cruise if you are a smoker, which I am not.. There is no designated smoking area and lots of people were smoking all over the ship, upwind from other passengers. In fact, I felt like I had smoke in my face the whole time, no matter where I moved. Even the captain and crew smoked unabatedly upwind from guests. This pretty much ruined the beauty of the experience. Otherwise the information given, and music played was fine. The food seemed okay, but I lost my appetite from all the smoking. Seriously, if you are going to allow smoking, have a designated area at the back of the boat.

This was a nice sunset cruise with narrations of the scenery and buildings that we saw along the way. For myself the mosques and minarets in the sunset was worth the trip alone. I got some amazing pictures on this tour, and also had some fresh in season fruit and some amazing baklava.

We really enjoyed our trip together with Ahmet, our tour guide. He is very knowledgeable of the sites and the history behind these sites. I personally became really interested about the Ottoman empire because of his stories. He also recommended a nice place to eat - the food is very delicious. This activity is highly recommended :).

Fantastic day with Çağlar in Italian. Tour at Aya Sofia and Sulejmani mosque with interesting explanations and anecdotes. Saw the Grand Bazaar It helped us a lot to orient ourselves and what to do in Istanbul. Optimal!

MR. Shaban the tour guide was very knowledgeable and made our experience very enjoyable with his story telling . He is professional , punctual, courteous and most importantly very passionate about Istanbul and it’s history.

Numan is a great guide! He's very pleasant, knowledgeable and flexible. He accommodated to our interests and thanks to him our stay in Istanbul was wonderful

We loooved Özen! She gave us a one day tour in Istanbul and it was just the perfect day. Her spanish was amazing and she explained the history very detailed, so we we feel that made the most out of our Istanbul trip. She also took us to a beautiful restaurant for lunch, her recommendations were great!

Numaan,our guide, did an excellent job showing us the prime sights in Istanbul. He was flexible in adjusting the schedule to meet our needs and made good recommendations.

We had the best experience ever with Yasin! He did a phenomenal job showing us all of Istanbul & giving us history lessons on all the areas we went too. We also got to skip the long lines for tickets which saved us so much time! He also took us to a incredible restaurant with authentic Turkish cussine! I highly recommend this for anyone trying to see Istanbul in one day!!

Our guide was great. The first tour i have taken that is private. From the beginning, we immediately felt that we weren't taking a tour. We were spending time with a friend who is knowledgeable and passionate about the history of this beautiful place.

Hicimos el paseo de 2 dias por Isrambul. Nuestra guia Kubra nos acompaño los dos dias por los distintos sitios, con explicaciones claras y contestando a las multiples preguntas que haciamos en un español correcto. Ha sido una compañia util y muy agradable. Ha tenido en cuenta nuestras sugerencias e intereses (visitas no incluidas y lugares para comer). En el precio no esta incluida ninguna entrada (topkapi, cisterna, Dormebache, torre galata) ni transporte (tranvia, barco bosforo)

Very nice experience! The yacht was superb, the staff attentive and really friendly. The English speaking guide at the top! The cruise lasts around 4-5 hours and is well worth it

VERY SURPRISED! My husband and I took this boat trip on the 8th of November. Lovely sunshine and warm. We were picked up at the hotel in the old town and got extremely surprised when we went onboard the boat - quite big, felt luxurious and very clean. We sat outside on large white faux leather sofas and they gave us welcome drinks and bits to snack on - all very good. We were lucky, only about 25 people on the whole big boat so we got first class service! On the way up to the Black Sea they served a fantastic lunch. The guide was very informativ and the boat stopped off at a small village on the way back, and more things to eat and drink! Lovely luxury cruising! Even though it said in the brochure that the return transfer to the hotel is not included - they actually brought us back - no charge!

Very nice and comfortable boat, a small group and excellent treatment both as food and refreshments and as kindness.

The trip was fun ,but inaccurate as it does not actually go to the Black Sea, but to the last bridge which was disappointing.The guide said the boat could not go into the BS, but this may not be true,maybe they got lazy,if they cannot enter the BS the this should be clearly stated.

Excellent time for this cruise on the CEREMONY (name of the boat) where, upon your arrival, you are greeted by a good lunch. The audio comments are only in English (an English which is not very understandable, however) which try to describe most of the monuments which cross the Bosphorus. Contrary to what is described, the cruise does not go to the Black Sea where you can swim. As soon as you see the new magnificent Yavuz Selim bridge in the distance, the ship turns around. Too bad ... Always a stop in the fishing village of Beykoz without much interest except to buy refreshments which are not prohibitively expensive like those on board. No stop for example in Uskudar or Anadolu Kavagi for example. Too bad ... Finally last thing when your hotel is not located in the center of Istanbul we forget you. We had to call to be transferred from our hotel in Topkapi to the pier. So be careful

If you want to see the best part of Istanbul than go on a lunch cruise on Bosphorus

The cruise was pleasant, on a boat of 300 people when there were only about 30 of us. On the other hand, the guide had little enthusiasm for recounting the interesting points of the cruise and the buffet is only a set of reheated dishes. Overall good, but not gorgeous. We only made one 10 minute stop in a place that had absolutely no interest: no shops or restaurants for a coffee.

The staff and excellent service, very friendly and charismatic, also the guide who knows the history and good explanations. The bad thing that they did not comply with the Spanish language, everything was in English and another detail that when I returned they did not leave me at my hotel due to the traffic.

Asked for the boat name. But it was changed - only with luck & calling the guide I could finally find it Loud music on the ship.
