I've had the opportunity to take a tour of the Bosphorus many times. But with Golden City Tours, I had a completely different Bosphorus tour. It was an incredibly enjoyable and peaceful tour, and we completed it beautifully with the refreshments provided. Being with the people I love was also a completely different and wonderful experience.
