Reviews

Great Cruise and Lunch! MarkandS (Sep 2019)

They picked us up at our hotel and we started our 5 hours cruise. I forgot the name of our guide but he was incredibility knowledgeable of history, geographic and plate tectonics. A real treat. The big surprise for me was lunch. We did not expect a good lunch but it was in fact very good! Well worth the time!

Good cruise jjshame (Aug 2019)

Good cruise to visit Bosphorus Strait and the Black Sea. Nice staff and tour guide. Good food and drink during the cruise.

The guide was good, that's all Curiosity51 (Jul 2019)

The guide was a very knowledgeable guide. However the other services were not so good. The boat was ok and the personnel very kind, but the food was awful. The white wine thought was very good. The visit to the tower was not interesting at all.

AN INTERESTING CRUISE Abbsy7 (Jun 2019)

We enjoyed this half day cruise very much. The pick-up from and drop-off to our hotel was on time and worked perfectly. The cruise itself was very interesting and the guide was very knowledgeable and answered questions very well. A highly recommended tour!

An excellent tour YYJeni (May 2019)

Everything went like clockwork on this tour, from the hotel pickup to the drop off. The boat trip was excellent and interesting and the guide was knowledgeable and fun. lunch was great. Highly recommended.

I was highly impressed by this... PetrusT (jun 2018)

I was highly impressed by this cruise! The boat was beautiful, much bigger than expected and our guide was very informative and friendly. The tour was well paced, giving us plenty of time to browse the sites on our own but not too long where we would get bored. There was music, snacks, lunch, good conversations, awesome sites along the way... The only thing I wish we had was wifi. HIGHLY RECOMMEND THIS CRUISE IF YOU ARE GOING TO ISTANBUL!
