It's very convenient to purchase through Klook. They'll send a WhatsApp message in advance to confirm the meeting time and location. The scenery on the boat is beautiful, with sea breezes blowing along the way. There are also onboard announcements introducing the attractions. The whole trip is comfortable and relaxing, and we had a lot of fun.

The cruise itself was great, but we could have benefitted from better coordination prior re: time and place of meetup, as the operator insisted we were late despite us being early based on the time set here in Klok. Still had a beautiful time by the Bosphorus, with scenic views on board.

Escape the hustle and bustle of Istanbul with a boat trip to the islands. Step ashore and immerse yourself in the slow-paced island life, strolling leisurely through the charming streets. Both island stops offer free time for independent exploration. Spend half a day walking around, or rent a bicycle and explore the island at your own pace for a truly unique experience.

love the princes island and Buyukada island tour. I am very surprised that the tour guide that picked me up from the hotel, turns out he brought us to the ship and they drove the ship I’m impressed, and it was very fun to be on the ship, very party music. I particularly like the Buyukada island, very chill with lots of shops and restaurants and groceries shop. I wish I can have more time at Buyukada.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ Bosphorus Dinner Cruise Review We had a wonderful experience on the Bosphorus dinner cruise. The dinner was delicious, and the variety of dishes really impressed us. The Turkish shows were amazing — lively, colourful, and full of great energy. The waiters were attentive and very good, making sure we were comfortable throughout the night. And of course, the views were absolutely stunning, especially seeing Istanbul lit up from the water. Overall, a beautiful night with great food, fantastic entertainment, and unforgettable views. Highly recommended!

An unforgettable Bosphorus sunset experience! The Bosphorus Sunset Tour in Istanbul was an absolute highlight of my trip. Watching the city transform as the sun slowly dipped behind the skyline was nothing short of magical. The blend of soft golden light reflecting off the water, the silhouettes of centuries-old palaces, and the call to prayer echoing across the strait created an atmosphere I’ll never forget. The boat was comfortable and beautifully maintained, with plenty of space to enjoy the views from all angles. The crew were friendly, professional,and there is an audio guide available, from the Dolmabahçe Palace to the Maiden’s Tower and the impressive bridges connecting Europe and Asia. One of my favorite moments was cruising past the waterfront mansions and watching the city lights begin to shimmer as night approached. It felt peaceful, romantic, and incredibly scenic. It’s the perfect way to experience the city’s beauty, history, and charm all at once. Highly recommended! ⸻
