    I liked the views, the historical points we visited are so interesting. The beverages, cookies and canapés are ok. The sunset cruise is the best you can do in order to have a general and first view of the city.

    Amazing tour and tour guide!
    We had the pleasure of getting to know this beautiful and historical city with the best tour guide Taner! He was funny, smart and very knowledgeable on so many things. We had plenty of time to enjoy the sites, ask questions, and take pictures. The lunch and boat cruise were also fantastic which are included with the tour. The true stand out was Taner he made the day that much better and was great to converse with and ask questions. He took us to a beautiful roof top for lunch and the food was amazing! Thank you so much for making our day in this city so memorable and we look forward to coming back.

    Do the old town yourself
    This was a trip of two halves. The first half around the Hippodrome covering the Blue Mosque and Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace was OK, but better to do this yourself and select the elements you want to see. For me, Topkapi was disappointing and the Grand Bazaar was noisy and dominated by junk. Lunch was excellent. The star of the show was the sunset cruise on the Bosphorus. Lots of interesting commentary, comfortable vessel and stunning history and views. Our guide was hard to understand and not the warmest character which probably impacted our enjoyment of the first half of the trip.

    Highlight of our trip!
    I am SO glad we booked this - it was honestly the highlight of our trip! Lots of communication in advance and it was very easy to find our tour group. The boat was the perfect size, everyone had a comfy seat with a great view and there was shelter if needed. Our guide was friendly, knowledgeable, engaging and funny, not too loud, easy to understand. Delicious food and drink provided, and attentive service on board. Just the best way to see the Istanbul sunset. It was such a gorgeous and relaxing evening, I can’t recommend it enough.

    Everything was great, not too crowdy, beautiful sunset and views, great time with friends. We went at the beginning of November, a lil bit chilly.

Very comfortable and scenic
Jun 2022 • Couples
This was an enjoyable lunch cruise. 30 guests or so made the accommodations relaxing and enjoyable. Everyone had personal space. The dining room and food was nice and the crew appeared happy to have us. The guide added much color and information to the 3 hour or so trip.

No regrets.
Would recommend.

Great Start to our Holiday
Nov 2022
This was a great way to start our holiday. The trip was relaxing and the staff friendly and helpful. The tour guide fed us lots of information which served as a great reference for our stay in Istanbul.
The boat was comfortable and stable.
Rated below excellent because we didn't quite get to the Black Sea, the food was mediocre, and the trip ashore pointless. Do not expect to get a swim.
We were a family group, all adults.

Hi Yawar, Thank you for booking your private Bosphorus yacht cruise with us and for your review of Bosphorus Tour Istanbul. You and your family were so friendly that we wanted to give you a present; we took your pictures and sent them to you. Private yacht cruise should mean that every single detail must be tailored according to your personal needs and that was what we did for your family! We wish to see you back in Istanbul again. Kind regards,

Best way to see the Bosphorus
Oct 2020 • Couples
Perfect way to see the beautiful Bosphorus. We had a small group on a beautiful yacht. Service was incredible. For the moment we stepped on the boat they were bringing snacks and refreshments. Our guide was incredibly knowledgeable and entertaining. They good was much better than expected. I would absolutely recommend this for anyone.

Enjoyable tour on the Bosphorus
Sep 2022
This was a great way to spend a few hours on the Bosphorus. It was nice to be on the water and the boat was comfortable. Lunch was great, better than I expected. The village stop was a nice little break to walk around and see life outside Istanbul.

Fabulous Bosphorus cruise
Jul 2022 • Friends
Wonderful afternoon cruising on the Bosphorus with Sedar. So interesting to see Istanbul from the water. Sedar was an incredible guide. He pointed out sights and gave insight to Turkish life. The lunch was amazing. I highly recommend this experience

Great Istanbul experience not to be missed overall
Just time it on a nice sunny day and witness the scenic modern urban, historical and wild banks of Bosporus. It does not literally reach the Black Sea, rather the huge bridge before it, but you can see a panorama of the sea from there. The stop in a fishing village offers a pleasant interlude with opportunities to buy nice souvenirs or food and drinks. The crew was highly hospitable, and the boat clean and well-kept. The only thing short of top-notch was food; passable is probably the word. Great Istanbul experience not to be missed overall.

Really pleasant afternoon
Jul 2019 • Couples
I didn’t expect the Bosphorus to be so amazing and the beautiful homes and palaces and mosques along the banks to be so interesting so yes, I’d recommend you go on this cruise. We tossed up whether to go on the evening cruise and we’re happy with it not being cold and visibility being great. Could the boat be nicer? Yes definitely but it didn’t make any difference to us as the speed was just right, we could sit in the shade and service was very good. The lunch was quite nice but you don’t go on cruises like this if you want spectacular food do you? The fishing village was interesting too and those who chose to swim off the boat braved the visible jelly fish and were not stung but appeared to have enjoyed the dip. The commentary was right for us- we would have hated lots of intrusive talking so it was just enough. We were picked up from our hotel which was great too. It’s true you can go up and down the Bosphorus on the ferry at a vastly cheaper cost but then it’s a whole different experience. I think you get what you pay for.

Make sure you get the cruise you booked!
Aug 2019 • Couples
Something strange happened to us. We booked this cruise through TripAdvisor but got taken to another one that was very very bad. The tour operator Bosphorus Tours Istanbul did not know how this happened and said that they already had a couple of cases like this.. somehow their bookings are hacked by a different cruise provider?!
Anyway, the one we were on was terrible, we were taken in a bus for a good 15 minutes drive from the Dolmabahce Mosque to a small old boat, bad food and so on..
Bosphorus Tours Istanbul is investigating to find out what happened. They invited us on their Sunset Cruise the following day and it was beautiful, gorgeous boat, great service, everything was delightful.
So, again, make sure you are booked on the cruise you paid for, call them directly and do not wait for someone to contact you as this happened to us. They are very good and will make sure you are well taken care of!

It was beautiful tour. Guide was very knowledgeable. Very good service and a lot of food , drinks and fruits.
The only thing we didn't like was stop on Asian side. There was not enough time to go anywhere.
