From stepping onto the boat we were given drinks and snacks and throughout the trip we received more drinks and snacks.

4-hour Bosphorus cruise plus Egyptian Spice Bazaar visit from central Istanbul, with guide, entrances, and standout views of Europe and Asia.

“The spice bazaar where we had a private meeting with a shop owner to learn about their products without the pushing nature of most vendors. Also the cruise was beautiful. My only complaint is that sitting on the outdoor deck, it was not possible to hear the boat’s explanations of what we were seeing over the boat’s speakers. We could have gone downstairs which was indoors and perhaps heard better. But it was too sunny of a day to be inside.”
