Awesome ferry ride. Was not expecting this level of awesomeness from just a simple boat ride. for those who wish to experience both Europe and Asia side, this ride is for you. But bring a jacket though as it gets very windy. Overall, POWEEEEER!
You haven't really seen Istanbul until you've seen it from the Bosphorus. Gliding between Europe and Asia was a highlight of my trip. The views of Dolmabahçe Palace, the Maiden’s Tower, and the Rumeli Fortress are postcard-perfect from the water. We also went right under the Bosphorus Bridge, which is an incredible photo op. The boat was clean, departed on time, and offered tea and snacks. Highly recommend the sunset slot for the best colors over the city skyline
The Bosphorus Cruise was truly a magical experience. Sailing between Europe and Asia while watching Istanbul unfold from the water was unforgettable. The views of historic palaces, mosques, and charming waterfront houses were breathtaking, especially as the light reflected off the strait. It was peaceful, scenic, and deeply enriching—an experience that beautifully captures the soul of Istanbul. Highly recommended for anyone visiting the city.
we started the trip on time. budget friendly tour for individuals, family and big group. staffs are very friendly, helpful and happy people. once the tour starts they will provide you with the code to set-up the audio guide making the experience more in sync while navigating the two sides of Turkey (asian and european side). it was a smooth sail and overall a very nice way to relax and enjoy the beauty of Istanbul. will definitely come back and avail the same tour package. highly recommend the sea and land agency. big thumbs up 👍👍👍
A tour worth investing 2 hours in Istanbul. There are English broadcast guides here and there, but they are not enough, so if you have the time, it would be more exciting if you gain some prior knowledge about Istanbul, especially the main buildings, before boarding. You should not expect free mixed coffee and tea, but the 7 PM flight is a bit chilly when wearing short sleeves, so it seems perfect for keeping your body warm. Overall, considering the recent high cost of living in Istanbul, this tour program is considered the most cost-effective, and although daytime is also good, the 7 PM flight is recommended.
We have arrived early and asked if we can join the earlier tour and the team was very flexible and accommodating with us! Very friendly and made sure that we would enjoy the Bhosporous trip that we have booked for. Fantastic service! highly recommended!
Of all the sightseeing I did in Istanbul, this was the most satisfying. The weather was clear and the surrounding scenery was magnificent. If I had the time, I'd want to take this cruise every day. It was wonderful to see the entire city of Istanbul for two hours, rather than just experiencing its central areas in a limited way. I highly recommend this to everyone visiting Istanbul. The black tea is complimentary, so be sure to enjoy it.
A very cost-effective trip. If you only have one day in Istanbul and can only visit one attraction, then this cruise is a must! You can enjoy many churches and street scenes on the way from the hotel to the travel agency! Enjoy the beautiful scenery of the Asian and European sides of the Turkish Strait on the cruise! In summer, it is recommended to go at 7:00 pm, you can watch the sunset and the night view, and the sun is not so hot! However, it is a bit crowded, it is best to move a chair in advance to occupy a position at the bow to enjoy the scenery, otherwise you have to stand the whole time! Of course, you can also sit inside the cabin, but the glass blocks it!
Good for the price - cruise up the Bosphorus up North till the 2nd bridge and then u-turn. The cruise was a little crowded. Free coffee and tea served. Other snacks and drinks also served at a cost.
The surrounding scenery was beautiful, even though the sky was overcast that day. There was an audio guide on the boat explaining everything. It was well worth the 2 hours, and the price was good. I'd love to go back again on a day with better weather.
