Bosphorus yacht cruise to Istanbul's Asian side, with guide, snacks, Turkish coffee, and a Kanlıca yogurt stop. Hotel pickup.

“Communication was good and we were given a time for the shuttle to pick us up. As soon as our bus bearded the boat we were off seeing the sites. The way the tour goes if you sit on the left side of the boat you will have the best views although if you're sitting on the right you can also see or stand up to take some photos. There's commentary along the way and you can ask questions. There's a small amount of food and drink served. There's a stop at the half way point where you'll be taken to a yoghurt shop (if you choose) and buy some…”

From stepping onto the boat we were given drinks and snacks and throughout the trip we received more drinks and snacks. Nahed gave commentary throughout the trip and she obviously knows her stuff, very informative and lovely and friendly; all the staff on board were. Highly recommended trip.”

“We did this on our first morning in Istanbul so it was good to be looked after and get a sense of the city. First and foremost the communications with the operator were absolutely excellent, we knew exactly when we were going to be picked up and by whom - even with updates when he was on his way! Super well organised to get us all home too. The boat commentary was good, done with humour and easy to hear. Nice snacks (yummy fresh peach) included with your hot drinks. If I had a negative it was the stop on the Asian side for an overpriced yoghurt which wasn’t really…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 97 reviews · 2 to 4 hours (approx.) · from $12

3-hour Bosphorus cruise in Istanbul with major sights, an Asian-side Beylerbeyi stop, and passes under two famous bridges.

“Very nice trip. The sights of the incredible Istanbul by the Bosphorous were amazing and the fact it was snowing it was a magic day for the kids. What I would only change is the time to walk in the city and give at least the hour it was said in the tour. We were only given 30 minutes and with kids we couldn't have the chance to walk farther than the port area. Other than that it was a great day.”
