Enjoyable boat ride, highly recommend
Aasiya T, 05-09-2022
Our experience on this boat ride was beautiful and breathtaking.
We were with a group of people and were taken on a beautiful yacht. We had a tour guide who explained all the lovely buildings and architecture of Istanbul and allowed us to take photos and roam around the yacht after. We were offered snacks and beverages and they even had a professional photographer to take photos of us on the yacht, the photographer would take us by family and take us to the bottom deck to get a beautiful view of us enjoying the yacht.
It was such a beautiful experience, whole of Istanbul was beautiful at sunset, the whole tour lasted 2 hours but it was such an enjoyable boat ride.
Highly recommend to do a boat ride to see the more of Istanbul.
Great experience and

Excellent Hospitality, Great Experience. All the staff was really very nice and they made sure that we were comfortable.
Good but a bit boring
Thebrionylife, 20-08-2022
The trip started off pretty good with snacks and drinks being handed out and the tour guide giving us information on the landmarks we were passing by, however after an hour of this, we did feel a bit bored. There was also a photographer onboard who was quite pushy in getting forced romantic shots out of my boyfriend and I. We felt pretty uncomfortable but did as we were told hoping sheâd leave us alone (not ideal to be told to kiss each other on the lips with 15 strangers staring at you when you just wanted a chilled boat trip). In summary, it was nice to see the city at sunset from the water but maybe donât have a photographer shoving her lens down your throat.
