Istanbul Bosphorus Sightseeing Cruise

If they bring you the tea know you must pay for it ! It’s not c complementary and for some reason all credit cards don’t work in turkey

The boat left early thank goodness we got on early. Leaving at 6 but left 5:46. You could not understand what was being said, even though it was in a language we could understand, the speaker was messed up so you could not hear well. Use your phone to tell you about thing that look interesting.

The prices was economical, I would have rather paid a little more to be on a newer cruise , loud engine of the boat , it is a good value for the money

Great value! The audio guide was easy to understand. I recommend you sir near a speaker on the back. The seagulls are entertaining.

Overall, we had a great experience on the Bosphorus cruise. The tour itself was excellent, and we got to see so many beautiful landmarks, including stunning palaces, waterfront mansions, and other iconic sights along the Bosphorus. The views were incredible, and the cruise was definitely worth it. That said, there were a few organizational issues. We never received official tickets or the promised audio guide. The meeting point was also quite confusing. Instead of checking in at the location listed on our reservation, we had to go to a nearby ticket office with a completely different name to validate our booking before boarding. Clearer instructions beforehand would have saved us a lot of confusion. Despite these issues, the cruise itself was fantastic, and I would recommend it for the beautiful scenery.

You just have to let yourself go and feast your eyes. Good organization for the tickets

We had a few weeks previously done a different 1hr one with our other daughter so thought we would try the Viator 1.5hr trip! Only once you booked and paid does it actually say 1.50 mins as stops to drop and collect people along the way. Too long with unnecessary stops!

For me this falls in the list of top 3 things to do in Istanbul. For $10 you see everything for two hours. Away from the crowds, breathtaking views, it's the best deal and so beautiful.

Istanbul Bosphorus Sightseeing Cruise was quite good. The most interesting aspect of the trip was the beautiful view of the Bosphorus Strait and the wide expanse of the city across two continents. There are many historical temples and palaces. But the experience was not unique.... Although there was some good information in the audio guide, it was sometimes difficult to follow. Also, the 90 minutes seemed a bit short. All in all it was a good and comfortable cruise, but a little more ordinary than I expected.

This Bosphorus cruise should definitely not be overlooked, and I hope you find good weather; otherwise... I highly recommend the following kit: sunglasses and a hat, which are absolutely essential. On windier days: a denim jacket or even a windbreaker, a scarf or a light shawl, and a light sweater that will protect you from the quite strong wind, unfortunately! You will see a beautiful waterfront and admire both the European and Asian sides. However, be aware of a small fact that might annoy some people: On the boat, there is a photographer who, unbeknownst to you, takes pictures of you and... perhaps later wants a contribution... not entirely economical!!
