Metin is a great guide. This tour changed our departure time from 5:30pm to 4:45 pm in order to give us more time to enjoy the scenery before dark. We had a good Bosphorus cruise tour.
The best bosporus tour

A lovely and fascinating cruise! Information and instructions prior to the cruise was provided by the team and the guides were extremely friendly and so adaptive to the customers’ needs. The information and resources they shared with us during the cruise was so valuable in teaching us about the history and values of the places we were travelling past!
Great experience
