Nice activity to fill an evening in the City Ideal time is spring summer because it's not dark and you can see the sights along the Bosphorus better Our waiter was Ilias and he was excellent The food was incredibly good and the evening went well I would go again

Excellent trip. The timing on the ticket was wrong, I messaged the tour guide and they were extremely helpful and let us on a later timing without any issue. A must do trip, so many sights to see, great value for money, super boat.
