If you visit Istanbul there are several things you must do. The most important one is to have a Bosphorus Cruise where you can see the highlights of Istanbul from the sea while you have a cup of tea or Turkish coffee. Bosphorus is not just border between Asia & Europe. It’s one of the main arteries of the city and one of the most beautiful sites in all of Turkey.

I was very good outing for me and my family as we are new to the country and mainly the language was the bigger loss we are not sure about the location and couldn't communicate with someone with the public in English. Otherwise we enjoyed the trip.
We finished after 4 hours. Then another 1/2 hour to get part way back to our hotel. Late starting. Not able to understand the audio as it was very poor.
Decent route. Nice to see both the Golden Horn and a part of the Bosphorus, but the rest of the experience was negative. We were picked up ridiculously early (75 min before leaving) only to find out the boarding point was 5 minutes from our hotel. The company spent the first 30 minutes embarking at the same points twice, only to do so again after the first 30 min of the trip. Don't book it here and not with this company (Land and Sea) but just find a tour yourself around Eminönü where there are plenty of decent tours.
all the people in the agency is nice very helpful as well arrange my shuttle to the airport after i finish the trip. Thanks. hope to come back and see you all soon :) thanks to kenan as well from bosphorus cruise.
