It was great - throughout the day Our tour host kept in touch sent us a pin where we should meet them at the dock. Had snacks and a drink for us to enjoy! Great ride on the river dividing Asia and Europe! The lights of the city were brilliant! We loved the tour and highly recommend it!!

This was absolutely the best experience in Istanbul, everything was perfect and of the highest level. The hospitality service was absolutely next level , captain Ibrahim and his co-captain Valter "I apologize" if I have his name wrong but they were the best and extremely welcoming and provide the best service and experience, they were so caring and had the best attitude and energy. I will definitely return and do this again but only with them. Thank you both for such an amazing time and experience.

It was an amazing experience. The views along the Bosphorus were amazing — seeing landmarks like Hagia Sophia, the palaces, and Maiden’s Tower from the water felt unforgettable. I think the price is worth it for the atmosphere and privacy, and if I come back to Istanbul I would definitely do it again.
It was not what we expected. Our host was unable to communicate with us and therefore was not able to identify landmarks. The boat was clean and the crew was friendly. However, we could have the same experience on the public ferry.

Lovely evening on the Bosphorous. We went at 6pm and caught the sun set. Whilst we had a great time there was no “guide” in English as advertised and the Yacht was definitely not “Luxury” standard

Our two-hour private yacht journey along the Bosphorus was pure magic! With just a captain and one crew member, we felt like VIPs. The scenery was breathtaking, and the crew's hospitality made it even better. Highly recommend for a luxurious escape in Istanbul.

Renting a boat is a good option, if you want to avoid the crowd and for having and intimate programme. You can order extra service (food, drink...etc.) but better to check your order on the spot too after embarking. The staff is nice and friendly. A host is wating for you to help to find the ship at the bay. Absolutely recommended.
Bosphorus bridges, huge rich mansions and glorious palaces on the sea. We had an amazing experience for 2 hours. It was fascinating to see this part of Istanbul. This is the most important attraction to do after Old City. Do not forget to take wine with you, especially by choosing the hours before the sun goes down.
This is the only way you can see all amazing mansions on Bosphorus. You realize how amazing Istanbul is. They met us near Galata Bridge and took us to boat. Boat was very chic. They offered us some snacks too. Everyone so kind. Thank you very much for great experience.
Well run. Very nice boat. Great service. Highly recommended. The only thing that would make it better would be to go faster. We were a little bored after an hour. Perhaps make it an hour and a half instead of two and a half hours.
Very nice crew Great preparation I can only recommend as a family or even with friends an exciting tour.
La visite en tant que telle était bien sûr agréable et nous a bien déposés au Ciragan Kempinski. Mais plusieurs points : 1) le yacht est arrivé avec 1:00 de retard. Bien heureusement que le Tour Operator était avec nous pour nous informer. Ce dernier a bien joué son rôle 2) le yacht n’était pas très propre 3) nous avons fait la navigation le long des côtes sans beaucoup de réflexion : avons commencé par la rive à l’ombre et pendant ce temps la 2ème rive était à l’ombre (couché du soleil). Plutôt que de commencer par celle encore illuminée par le soleil. En dehors de ces points, il faut faire cette croisière
Outside the Hostel, my friend made a surprise for my birthday. We had really pleasant 2 hours. Once again, you see how stunning Istanbul is. Very polite captain and staff. I wish we had more time.
My boyfriend arranged it for my birthday. We’ve arranged the tour for the evening sunset time. Great time to adjust. You can also grab champagne and dry food onboard. It was really fun. Highly recommend.
