I took a 3-hour Bosporus cruise in Istanbul, and it was a great experience. The views were beautiful — we saw palaces, mosques, old wooden houses, and both the European and Asian sides of the city. The boat was comfortable and not too crowded. There was tea and dinner on board, and the ride was smooth and relaxing. I especially loved seeing the sunset over the water. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone visiting Istanbul. It’s a calm, scenic way to see the city from a new angle.

I booked this Bosphorus cruise experience in Istanbul as a gift for my parents, who are both seniors and I couldn’t be happier with how everything turned out. The entire experience was seamless from start to finish: the staff was incredibly kind, attentive, and made sure my parents were comfortable throughout. What made it even more special was that it happened to be my mom’s birthday. The team went above and beyond to make the occasion memorable, surprising her with a sweet gesture that really touched our family. It meant the world to us that they acknowledged her day in such a thoughtful way. The views were breathtaking, the boat was clean and spacious, and the pace was perfect for a relaxing, scenic ride through one of the most iconic waterways in the world. I’d highly recommend this cruise especially for families looking to share a special moment or for anyone wanting a peaceful, beautiful way to see Istanbul from the water. Thank you for making my parents’ day so wonderful!

A beautiful Bosphorus cruise The Bosphorus cruise was a truly memorable experience – the views were absolutely stunning, especially at sunset. The boat was comfortable, the atmosphere was relaxing, and everything was well-organized. It’s definitely a must-do while in Istanbul! However, one thing I didn’t appreciate was the photographer on board. Without asking, he took many photos of us and later came back with a large photo album priced at €100. While you are free to choose if you want to buy anything or not in the end, it felt a bit intrusive to see so many personal photos taken without our consent. Other than that, the cruise was lovely and I would still recommend it – just be aware of the photo situation in advance.
