Lovely cruise

This cruise is a wonderful way to see Istanbul's major sites and should be added to anyone's itinerary when visiting the city. The boat itself is the perfect size, making the cruise feel intimate yet comfortable. Guests are provided with small snacks and drinks - with wine/beer is available for purchase upon request - but definitely recommend bringing your own bottle of wine if you prefer. Sinal and his team were extremely helpful from starting to finish (we opted to be picked up/dropped off from our hotel. The tour hits all of the major sites and your given enough information to know what you're looking at but also enjoy your own conversation on the cruise.

Tour the Bosphorus Like a Boss

Alright alright alright! You're much anticipated review here. Listen folks, the tour is cool. It is just the right length, and in summer weather a light jacket is the max you'll need (slightly windy). Easy to hang out, very calm on the boat (despite choppy-looking waters). The tour guide hits all the highlights, which is cool, and Bosphorus sunset is good for photos. Seeing the Asian side, and far up and down the coast, is best seen from a boat so also a plus. Finally, I recommend you bring your own (white) wine. It's a boss move to fit the boss cruise. They pick you up from the hotel, and take you back (also clutch and seamless). That is all.

Nice cruise

Very nice cruise, good guidance and boat! It was easy to find where to meet and it started on time. Nice appetizers were served and the guide explained historical facts from the area.

Fantastic!

This cruise is fantastic. It’s really a wonderful way to take in The city and to see many of the popular sights: Dolmabache palace, Galata Tower, Maiden’s Tower. The boat is the perfect size so the tour feels intimate and special and it’s full of sweet treats: baklava, tea, fruit, etc. Also, I have to give a shout out to the staff who went above and beyond and waited for my brother and I as we were late on the tram. Any other tour would have left us behind, but they kindly waited as we ran to try and make it. Would highly, highly recommend. It was a great way to cap off our trip!

Great Ending to a Great Day in Istanbul

After a full day walking tour we hopped on this sunset cruise to experience Istanbul from the water. The crew was incredible, the food was really tasty and just the right amount. The commentary was informative but not overwhelming so we could enjoy the sights and sounds while knowing the basics. Extremely relaxing end to our busy Istanbul day.

It was amazing!

I booked this for myself and my wife whilst visiting Istanbul and really enjoyed it. I wouldn't normally book something like this for myself but thought my wife would enjoy it. She loved it and so did I. I would recommend anyone to do this when visiting Istanbul, it's worth every penny and a great experience!

Great way too see Istanbul Europe and Asia

We chose this tour because we wanted a quite trip up the Bosphorus straits. It was really enjoyable. We received 1-1 treatment from our Guide Sinan was who was very knowledgeable.We received things to nibble and a non alcoholic local drink. The Yacht really was luxury. A perfect end to our trip to Istanbul. Well done Sinan and his team.

Very good experience

I recommend this cruise to everybody. Good organization, our departure was in time, and we were back also at a reasonable time to the Galata Bridge area, where a lot of restaurants were available for dinning. The explanations provided enough information, the sightseeing of both sides of the Bosphorus very good. We really enjoyed the cruise, included the snacks served during the trip. Additional drinks also available by demand, including beer or wine. Definitively, it is worth to do it.

Amazing Trip Totally Worth the Money!

Really enjoyed this trip, it was just as advertised! The staff was very friendly and helpful, even organized a birthday surprise for us including singing the song and a birthday cake. We really enjoyed our time on the Yacht, it was luxurious and comfortable. The guide was very good at explaining the surroundings, and they served fresh fruits, beverages, as well as Turkish Desserts. I would strongly recomand this Yacht Trip to see the Bosporus Canal in a Luxury Style!

SUNSET LUXURY YATCH CRUISE

I would recommend everyone to go for luxury yatch sunset Cruise. Bosphurus looks beautiful during the sunset and also the yatch is amazing. The crew took a great care of us. The guide is fluent with many languages English, turkish, Spanish. Desserts, nuts, refreshments are continuously served throughout the tour. It's a 2 hour tour with very limited people around 20.

Great

Booked this trip last minute, all good and confirmed straight away. Took a little while to locate the guide at Dolmabahce as there were no exact spot mentioned but was glad that he took the effort to locate me. Guide on the cruise was informative but would be better if she used a microphone since it was very windy and a little bit noise from the cruise so sometimes some of us couldn’t hear her clearly. Appreciate that staffs bring some of us to taxi and metro station after it ends.

Amazing, unforgettable romantic experience.

I was looking for a private experience in Istanbul to celebrate a personal event and I booked a yacht with dinner for two, at sunset. The booking was very easy online, the guide was very friendly and helpful in giving me the details for the trip and facilitated the yacht for only the two of us. We communicated easily in English, via WhatsApp. The actual trip was amazing, we enjoyed the stunning view of the European and Asian side of Bosphorus, with beautiful buildings, palaces and bridges along the way, at sunset. The thing we liked the most was the private setup and the friendly guide, who really tried to make us feel good and even played our favorite music on the boat. I really appreciated it. I fully recommend this trip, is a unique, priceless experience.

Bosphorus Dinner Cruise

Excellent - you must reserve an evening for this. Booked for 5 via e-mail, received prompt reply, picked up from hotel on time, given centre seats on the boat, good three course meal, great entertainment, nice night view of the city, a professional photographer took our photos and brought them back in a nice album that we loved and bought, dropped back at the hotel. Everything went smoothly and we loved it :-)

Great experience

Me and my wife took this trip when were advised to do so from our concierge at the Ciragan palace Kempinski .. The boat picked us up from our hotel pier which was really cool.. We were welcomed by Mr. Alper who is a very nice guy whom explained to us about many things in istanbul.. The show was great especially the bellydancer , food can be better and sitting on deck is a great experience with all those nice buildings surrounding the boot from both sides.. Overall ,one of the best night cruises in Istanbul..

A delightful way to end the day!

We made the mistake of only adding one day to our cruise ending in Istanbul. A minimum of 3 days should be considered. After a full day walking tour of the Old town we decided to go big and booked a 3 hour dinner cruise on the Bosphorus. We chose the non alcoholic version but many had all you can drink options including beer wine or raki. We were picked up at our hotel on time and shared a van with several others going to the cruise. We entered the boat a little bit before sunset and were greeted with a plate of Turkish appetizers that were very good with a nice basket of bread. The choice of entree was fish, chicken or meatballs. My wife had chicken and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the fish which was tasty but was the whole fish so you had to work at it. I would probably try the meatballs next time. The cruise heads up the Bosphorus toward the Black Sea. You pass many bridges crossing from the European side to the Asian side and pass many lit up buildings and Mosques. The entertainment included an emcee and 5 dancers that included a Whirling Dervish demo, traditional Turkish dancing and of course belly dancing. The show had several different sections and the emcee kept the audience involved. The best part for me was the flags of all the different countries on the tables with 6 continents represented. We had opportunities to dance together with our own little United Nations. It was a very good value too.

Great night on Labors Day in Istanbul

I would like to give this review a 5 because the fact the people were scared to go to Istanbul or to the city.We have never felt so safe in their hands. The entertainment,the food,the pick up from the hotel until we came out we were really looked after. The weather was also good.I am so glad we went to Istanbul. Thank you Bosphorus Tours Istanbul! The view of the Bosphorus was amazing!

Best night out in Istanbul

I spent a whole week in Istanbul, with my wife and 15Mo baby. We went almost all the tourist attractions: mosques, museums, gardens, istiklal St, outlets, malls, etc. Of all the activities we have done, our dinner night on the Bosphorus was the best night we had. The program is very nice, the staff are extremely kind and helpful, and their customer service is great. They make their personal responsibility to help. I definitely recommend.

Awesome memories that don't burn a hole in your pocket!

We hired the Bosphorus Tours for all our tourist excursions in Istanbul. Even though the tourist companies in Istanbul are notorious for ripping you off but Mr.Tugrul at Bosphorus Tours was a an absolute delight! Despite being out of station, he guided us through various options with packages which easily beat the commercial companies by HALF! His team was professional and warm. We took a full day tour at the Princess' Islands, a full day tour to the major attractions around the Blue Mosque and we took a tour of Bosphorus by Night. Each expedition was worth every penny paid. To top it off, I forgot my mobile in one of their buses after one of the tours and the driver actually found it and got it back to our hotel within an hour!

MAGIC NIGHT ON BOSPHORUS

Amazing boat tour for a special day

have booked the dinner tour online for my mom's 70th birthday. They are extremely helpful, responded fast and helped with my special requirements for a custom cake. I emailed them what I wanted and they made it happen :-) The evening was perfect, they picked us up from the hotel on time, took us to the boat. The boat is great, food was good, drinks keep coming and the show is nice. The best part was the celebration of the birthday. They brought the cake with all the sparkling candles and the presenter announced her special day. The show kept on going after. To sum it up, it was a memorable evening for all of us, I can highly recommend them for a tour.
