Great 4.0
There are other t&c that you learn once you board the cruise ship. The choices of food and drinks is limited under the package. Any other choice of drink or food outside standard menu is chargable. The standard menu is very basic and this could be made clear in offer package. It is a good experience tough, however there are sevral company that offer such packages with differnt ship size and style. I suggest to do research and then decide to get true value of your money.

Great 4.0
Very nice experience. I deducted 1 star because of some difficulties in redeeming the voucher. The one you receive on the mobile version is not sufficient. You need 4 QR codes (2 people - 2 for the outbound and 2 for the return). But the staff on site are very friendly and helpful. As a result, you should arrive at least 15 to 20 minutes before departure. The journey takes 2 hours to get to Budukaya, which is the last island, as the boat makes all the stops. I recommend this visit because it's a change from the hustle and bustle of Istanbul and it's very pretty.

We had booked 2 hours yatch tour with snacks and wine. Unforgettable experience with senic views of European and Asian side. Luckily weather was perfect for amazing views and our guide was really entertaining and knowledgeable. We got a learn a little bit of history, nice places and restaurant recommendations for best Turkish food and sweets in Istanbul. We took some nice photos and thoroughly enjoyed our Sunset yatch.

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.

Thoroughly enjoyed my Balat & Fener walk with Yunus. He made the whole experience so well paced and manageable especially that one hike up the hill. He was also so knowledgeable about the history and very relatable as well. Made for a fun and active day!! Thanks Yunus!!!

A very practical package that doesn't require queuing. You can enter and visit directly, saving time and convenience. For Topkapi Palace, just go to the designated meeting point, and a guide will lead you. It's very smooth, and the audio guide is also reasonably clear. Recommended!

Baris was the best! Super informative, patient, and full of great energy — we managed to see so many beautiful spots in just a few hours. It felt like exploring the city with a friend who knows all its secrets!

Fantastic 5.0
Our family had a fantastic trip to Bursa and Uludağ, and everything was well-organized from start to finish. We were picked up at 8:00 AM and returned to our hotel at 10:30 PM, making it a full and memorable day. Our tour guide was very friendly and managed the time perfectly. We were delighted to experience snowfall on Uludağ Mountain, which made the day even more special. Throughout the tour, we visited several wonderful places including the ATV area, a Turkish delight factory, the impressive 610-year-old Inkaya Historical Plane Tree, a charming jam shop, and enjoyed a fun chairlift experience. The teleferik ride from Uludağ down to Bursa city was unforgettable, and we also appreciated the visit to the beautiful Green Mosque. We had a great lunch along the way, and overall, it was an amazing, well-planned trip that our whole family truly enjoyed.
