Full description
Set sail on a cruise between Europe and Asia on Istanbul's Bosphorus Strait. See the wonders of both East and West from the water while accompanied by a multilingual guide. Stopover on the Asian side and explore Kanlica, a district that stands in defiance of time. On board the yacht, hear stories of this mesmerizing city as you set out to pass sights on both continents, including Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, the Leander Tower, and Istanbul's most posh areas, Ortakoy and Bebek. Pass under the two suspended Bosphorus bridges that connect Europe and Asia and Admire the thick walls of the medieval Rumeli Fortress. Snap photos of the city skyline and hear about the confluence of cultures that exists at this meeting point between Europe and Asia. During this 2.5-Hours cruise, you'll be free to wander between decks to capture the best shots of Istanbul's attractions. Your guide will illustrate the history of what you see during the cruise; Bosphorus has a storied past and your guides know the fun facts you can't find in a tourist handbook. The Bosphorus separating two continents has always been crucial to life in Istanbul. Once a prime channel to move fearsome armies through, it now serves more peaceful functions. Seeing this important trading route is a must-do for travelers.

Etienne – SwitzerlandNovember 10, 2023 – Verified booking
It was a very nice and informative trip, the ship was modern, there were some snacks served. Tge guide was telling interesting things about Istanbul, we didn't know and most important: Not only telling but as well including the passengers. He was funny and as well very kind and helpful. On the Asian part we went on land to buy a very tasty joghurt, made and invented on this place (with honey or cherry jam). Alltogether really a extraordinary trip a lot of interesting informations and a funny time. Price is very fair. We can highly recommend to anyone to make this trip!

The yacht was very pretty, clean and spacious, perfectly suited to the number of visitors and we could move around freely. It’s more than appreciable! We are immediately at ease! The explanations and comments were measured in the distribution with history, legends, interesting data and humor! I am so happy. I loved ! Well done and thank you!

We were very happy with the boat tour. It was an extremely pleasant boat ride and the seating was very spread out and comfortable, so it did not feel like one of those tours were everyone is seated elbow to elbow like sardines. The views from the top floor of the boat were lovely and fact that we where out on the Bosphorus on a sunny day with clear blue skies made the experience all the better.
