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.

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! ⭐️

A huge thank you to Esin for an unforgettable experience. She was so comfortable to talk with, patient, and kind. Clearly, she is an expert in her craft. She guided us through every step with so much care, and we walked away having learned so much. It was a lovely session!
