Lakshmy – United States

Our group of 8 visiting Istanbul from the US had booked the bosphprous sunset cruise. Couple days before the cruise the tour operator reached out on WhatsApp and asked if we could reschedule the trip to the next day. we had flexible plans and were able to do so. They were very good with communicating and we had an amazing experience on the boat. Weather was perfect, they brought us snacks and fresh fruit. Amazing evening taking in the sights. highly recommend this while on ur visit to Istanbul

Full description

Welcome aboard our yacht! We are embarking on a two-hour sunset or daytime small group (16 people) yacht cruise along the Bosphorus, where you will experience Istanbul from a completely different perspective. Istanbul is a city situated across two continents, with the Bosphorus Strait serving as a defining feature. This strait is one of the main attractions, and no visit to Istanbul is complete without a boat trip along its waters.

From the deck of our snow white yacht, you will have the opportunity to behold nearly all of Istanbul's major landmarks: Dolmabahce Palace, Topkapi and Chiragan Palaces, Sultan Suleiman Mosque, the city's main bridge—the Bosphorus Bridge—and, of course, the famous Maiden Tower.

We are delighted to accommodate your group of up to 16 people on our 20 metres yacht. Prepare to immerse yourself in unforgettable experiences and savor the unique views of Istanbul that unfold before you along the Bosphorus. Onboard our yacht, not only will you enjoy the stunning sights of Istanbul, but we also have a treat in store for you. As you take in the beauty of the Bosphorus, our attentive staff will serve you with light snacks and seasonal fruits. Indulge in a delectable selection of appetizers as you cruise along, complemented by the freshest fruits of the season.

Everything was amazing but we did not recieve the WhatsApp in advance to download the audio. We were helped on board but only when we asked half way through. But food, drinks, services, boat, etc were all wonderful and we had a great time.
