We enjoyed beautiful views of the Bosphorus Strait from a wonderful location until sunset. You can get a great view of Dolmabahçe Palace, Rumeli Hisarı, and the Maiden's Tower from the sea as you pass under the bridges. Chef Ahmet served warm tea and distributed blankets. The fruit and cookie platter, along with the additional french fries and toast, were also delicious. With drink service included, this tour offers great value and is highly recommended. Please do order drinks and additional food! Thank you for the lovely magnet gift! This is my third time in Turkey, and this cruise is the best for relaxing and enjoying the music. Thank you for the excellent service, Chef Ahmet!

Balena and the entire crew of golden city tour did a fantastic job off arranging and guiding the tour. They served us well, taken good care of us. Multiple spot coverage with little bit of history and facts put across really well. Great recommendations and hospitality!

The food is very good and the experience of the cruise is very nice. Everything was nice. The server hasan was excellent, and every show on this cruise was fantastic. When the belly dancer performed, she was a showstopper; she stole the show. The entire cruise was incredibly amazing. The cruise journey started with a welcome drink and food. Once the ship left the dockyard, dinner was served, which was amazing. The service from the guy named Hassan was excellent. Then the show started. Oh my God, the cruise shows were all very, very good. Everything was good. The belly dancer, when she entered, was a showstopper. She will steal your heart, 110%. Her moves and dance were incredible. Everything was so good, and the service was top-notch. You will spend your three hours beautifully.

It was a wonderful experience. The boat offers drinks and snacks, along with an audio guide throughout the journey. The vessel is large, clean, and new with a great atmosphere and beautiful views. You can enjoy the scenery and learn about the history of various locations situated along the Bosphorus Strait. Service: Excellent Safety: Excellent Itinerary: Excellent Sights along the way: Excellent Value for money: Outstanding

A Bosphorus cruise is a must-do activity when visiting Istanbul, Turkey, as the scenery along the Istanbul coastline is incredibly beautiful. Due to time constraints, I only opted for the short tour, but if I ever have the chance, I definitely want to experience a dinner cruise.

This ferry ticket is very affordable, but please note! The round trip to Prince Island takes 4 hours (departing from Eminönü Port). The sea views along the way are beautiful and perfect for relaxing. Once there, I chose to rent a bicycle to explore, but if you prefer to just eat, drink, and shop, that's also an option.
