Review for: 2-hour cruise experience

I think this is the cheapest tour available, so you can't expect too much. They do provide food and drinks on board, which were actually really good. The tour guide didn’t have a sign, just an umbrella with the boat's name on it, which made it a bit confusing to find him at first — but it wasn’t a big deal. Overall, the experience was nice, and you get to enjoy the Bosphorus for two hours.

it was nice but 2 hours felt like a long time. The English commentary was rather short ,followed by various translations. The klook experience was as usual faultless.

2 hours tour of the Bosphorus Strait. Overall experience was good. Value for money. I love the view of Istanbul where Europe meets Asia.

It is easy to use in a convenient location. It is a good program to see the Bosphorus Strait. The time is accurate and I recommend it. The location is also good because we met at Hagia Sophia and moved there.

nice view and suitable for people who prefer less walking but have scenery view at one glance. however, it is a bit hard to follow the audio system on the board to know which building it refers in particular.

You can use the phone and WhatsApp to confirm the meeting place in advance. The meeting time will be about 10 minutes late before moving to the pier. The tour leader will hold a yellow umbrella and go to the pier to check the electronic ticket. Food can be brought and enjoyed on the water boat. The second floor of the ship is directly exposed to the cold wind (in early October), so you need to bring a coat. There are indoor seats on the first floor, where drinks and food are sold, and there are restrooms on the ship. The onboard audio guide is only available in English and Turkish. The boat sails from near Yenikapı Şehir Parkı Pier to near Küçüksu Pavilion Küçüksu Kasrı (Milli Saraylar) and then turns back.

Review for: 2-hour cruise experience

The meeting place is very easy to find, so don't worry. From there, you can walk a little to the pier and board the boat. The temperature was very low on the day I boarded, so I couldn't fully enjoy the boat trip on deck, but if the season is good, it will be a very pleasant time.

the distance between meeting point and the jetty was quite far.the person of interest not the same as in the guide picture,so had to ask around

Review for: 2-hour cruise experience

I strongly advise against this trip. If negative stars were a possibility, I would rate it with negative stars. They were hard selling everyone that passed by the meeting area. We even left 5 minutes after the designated time because they were selling the trip to more people. The 10 minute walk is a brisk walk. Not a problem for me, but definitely a problem for the older people and those with children. The boat was absolutely packed. I ended up in a seat with a view of the touring side 100% blocked. I could only see the other side. I asked the captain about options and he says he could get me a seat on the forward side of the boat, but that "costs extra." After he pocketed my money, he did give me a much better place to sit, but now I couldn't hear the audio portion of the tour at all. So I just ended up using Google maps to figure out what I'm looking at. I strongly encourage you to go with a different company!
