Incredible experience, and much better price on Klook! Our first night in Istanbul was made so much more special as a result of this dinner cruise. Fantastic service with attentive, friendly waiters who made sure our drinks were replenished all night. Delicious food, a great introduction to Turkish cuisine. The scenery was great, but the performances were superb! We were constantly entertained by the dancers and musicians. This was a fantastic way to celebrate a special event, but we would highly recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Istanbul.

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! ⸻

Amazing experience in the Bosphorus strait. The booking process was very easy and the directions given for meeting were clear. It was a nice small group and the boat was really nice. Staff members gave great service and were very knowledgeable about the various landmarks during the cruise. The snacks and drinks provided were delicious. I would highly recommend this for your trip to Istanbul. a must do!!

I think this is the cheapest tour available, so you can't expect too much. They do provide food and drinks on board, which were actually really good. The tour guide didn’t have a sign, just an umbrella with the boat's name on it, which made it a bit confusing to find him at first — but it wasn’t a big deal. Overall, the experience was nice, and you get to enjoy the Bosphorus for two hours.

I highly recommend this tour with Viatime Travel. Everything was perfect from start to finish. Viatime was excellent and gave clear, detailed instructions, making everything stress free. It's super easy, and cheap, to get to the pier - just take the tram from Sultanahmet to Kabatas. The representative from Viatime, Ezgi was there to meet us with her lovely smile and guide us to the boat. The cruise itself was magical, with great food, beautiful views of Istanbul and enthusiastic & lively entertainment. It's a fun filled memorable evening ✨️ 💕
