Beritan is such a warm personality and highly motivated guide (recommendable!). One I truly enjoyed was us the sceneries. The scenery was beautiful and it was a relieve to enjoy in such a quiet, peaceful environment. Beritan speaks excellent English! We learnt from him a lot about Turkish history, art, culture and much more, as well as providing tips on other things to see and places to eat in Istanbul. We enjoyed every bit all respect for Beritan who does a great job there. His patience and effort is truly commendable; a true sample of excellent tour guide! Highly recommended tour. Thank you.
Burak gave us beautiful explanations, took lovely photos of us, was patient and went above and beyond to give us even routes home! From recommendations of restaurants to stories of the past and present, he was a fount of knowledge!
I would book again on my next trip to Istanbul. What a beautiful way to visit the Bosphorus and get amazing views on Turkish architecture. The staff is friendly and messaged me via WhatsApp the day before my booking about the time and location. It is easy to find. I arrived early and the staff allowed me to board the boat before the departure time. There are food and drink options aboard for a small fee. Plenty of seats. Not crowded at all. It is possible to choose to sit inside or outside.
A lovely way to relax and just enjoy the views on a boat. We booked the 4:45PM time slot which was supposed to be a “Sunset” cruise but because right now, sunset isn’t until 7:30-8:00PM😂 We loved it still! Such a fun experience
The cruise ship has a high CP value! ! The duration is about an hour, not the two hours mentioned above. The boat is quite fast. In winter, there seems to be no 16:45 departure. I was told one day in advance that it can be changed to 12:45 or 14:40.
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.
It's been two hours since I've wrapped up this Istanbul trip. I'm sure this is the best value for money product to feel the beautiful Istanbul Buddha. I don't know how the two hours of fun passed by. However, I regret not having dressed warmly in advance.
This was an incredibly scenic experience, with only minor imperfections! I didn't want to spend too much time searching online, so I chose Klook over KKday. What really attracted me was that the itinerary page advertised a "Chinese audio guide," the price was affordable, and the timing was perfect. For travelers who don't want to deal with language barriers, this is truly a great benefit. Online booking was very convenient. On the day of the tour, all we had to do was arrive at the meeting point on time to board the boat smoothly; the whole process was very fluid. Feeling the sea breeze on the boat and admiring the scenery along the Bosphorus Strait was truly comfortable and relaxing! However, the only drawback was that when we tried to use the Chinese audio guide that day, we couldn't figure out how to activate it. When we asked the staff, they had no idea either. In the end, we could only enjoy the scenery without the historical commentary, which was a real shame 😔. Also, sunset in Turkey during the summer is quite late. If you want to see the sunset glow from the boat, I recommend paying close attention to the schedule and how it aligns with sunset times before you depart. Overall, the convenience of the tour and the scenery along the way were impeccable. It would have been even more perfect if the instructions for the audio guide had been clearer!
We just showed our tickets in our phone and we were allowed to board the yacht. It’s a breeze booking with klook. Thoroughly enjoyed the cruise!
It was hard to find the location, but they contacted me in advance via whatsup. We went on a tour of the Bosphorus. You can see famous buildings from the boat. If it's cold outside, you can see them from inside the building. There is an English guide, so it's safe. The price was also good.
