Patrick_A, 30-10-2022
The whole tour, our guide was awesome! Best one we had throughout our month long Mediterranean trip!!!
A Perfect Day on the Bosphorus

We were a group of four Adult friends and we really loved this tour. The boat is the perfect size for easy sailing and mingling with the other guests and the crew was really fun and attentive. They serve a good hearty lunch and you have the chance to swim at a little private beach in the beautiful waters of the Bosphorus Strait. The sites along the way were amazing and there is a rest stop at a darling local fishing village.
Wonderful tour

Simply perfect day. Pick up and drop off to hotel. Swimming part was great. Nice views of Bosphorus strait. Not crowded on boat.
Overall, food and trip were good. It was very informative

The stop at the fishing village had no purpose but to offer expensive things at a store. The town is too small and there is nothing new to learn. Aslam was very helpful and generous with my husband and I. He helped us yo accommodate our luggage in the boat, as we went to the tour directly from the airport
