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.

Loved my first cruise experience. I enjoyed the wonderful views from bosphorus cruise. It’s also a great trip to explore Istanbul.

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.

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.

worth the money, affordable price, full guidance. so relaxing and free flow coffee, tea and cookies. place is at uskudar, so need to take ferry from europe side, but still worth. place also so warm and comfy. there is a small cafe behind it.

Overall a very pleasant experience. HOWEVER - do take note of the location. The instructor was experienced and friendly, and we had a good time trying different scents and blending them into a unique perfume. However - for the organisers, please update the klook listing to reflect the actual workshop location and timing (i.e. the cafe in Uskudar rather than the meetup place in Sirkeci). Note that you'll either have to meet at Sirkeci 30 mins earlier, or go to the workshop yourself.

I booked 3 workshops for the same day and all were amazing! This was my favorite part because I could create my own Turkish lamp!

We arrived a bit earlier than scheduled and were served Turkish tea while waiting, which was such a nice touch. To our surprise, it ended up being just the 2 of us in the workshop! It felt like a private, relaxed session. shout out to Rustam for patiently answering all our questions (we had many lol), while Hussein also joined us. Although it was meant to be 2 hours, we stayed almost 2.5 hours because we were having so much fun. We learned about Turkish coffee history, ground the beans ourselves, tried pistachio coffee (so good I bought some to bring home!), and even enjoyed the fortune-telling session. We also received a small souvenir, which we truly appreciated. Thank you for such a warm and memorable experience in Istanbul! PS: Rustam, don’t overwork yourself! ⭐️
