We had an amazing and fun day on the boat! Faruk was very nice and professional. He also arranged pickup and drop-off for us for an additional fee. We needed a van, so having transportation arranged made the whole day much easier. I highly recommend Faruk!
Mr. Faruk was very attentive throughout the entire process. They took a very solution-oriented approach to our requests. Our event was very enjoyable. Thank you! 🤗
11/10 experience. Faruk and his crew are incredibly nice and were perfect hosts. We took the night tour and it was just magical. They served us wine, coffee, tea and fruits and they were explaining all the sites through the route. The boat is very nice and very well equipped. I could not recommend a better experience in Istanbul, just go for it and you wouldn’t regret it!
Amazing boat! We’ve had a bachelor party in Istanbul (7 people) and had an amazing relaxing day with music and a few drinks, 100% recommend.
We had a lovey “sunset” cruise. Despite it being cloudy and no real sunset, we avoided the rain and were so lucky to see the dolphins jumping in the Bosphorus. The pickup location is not always what’s on the booking page so be sure to double check your instructions. This particular location was very difficult for our mobility challenged parents to board, as there was not a dock or pier, but only a steep cement staircase. The crew was very helpful, but it was a challenge to get to and on the boat. Nevertheless it was a pleasant evening and we got to see so much more of the city from the water than we could have by foot. Highly recommend.
This was a great experience! The crew was very hospitable and the price was very affordable.
This was an amazing experience and a great way to see Istanbul. The sunset from the boat was incredible. Highly recommend!
From the very beginning, I found my experience with Faruk to be an absolute breeze. This opportunity seemed too good to be true, but it was exactly as promised: a smooth ride through the Bosphorus while enjoying drinks, snacks, and gorgeous views. The price was more than reasonable and the accommodations were great. I will do it again!
We had the most amazing experience. It was a gift from our daughters for my husbands birthday, so we had no idea what to expect. Got on board and boat was decorated with balloons. We were offered snacks wine and a birthday cake was served. So special. The cruise was awesome seeing all the more sights of Istanbul from the water a d Faruk told us a lot of history. 2 hours went by so quickly. We saw 15 dolphins as well. We would highly recommend this cruise along the Bosphorous
We were greeted by a very professional and thoughtful team. Everything was beautiful and enjoyable, organized and delighted us in no time. I think this is an absolute activity to try!
