Great day trip to the Black sea

We did the trip with 2 couples and all 4 of us agreed that it was the highlight of our short trip to Istanbul. Aslan, our tour guide was fantastic - very knowledgeable with great insights into Turkeys past and present. The rest of the crew was also lovely and helpful, and the food was really good. Highly recommended!

The BEST parts of Istanbul in one experience

If you do nothing else in Istanbul, please book this cruise. Amazing food, amazing sights, amazing hospitality and more. My parents are an older Muslim couple and don’t speak English and this was their first trip abroad without their kids. The guide, Aslan, was so incredibly gracious, accommodating, and respectful — it nearly brought me to tears when they told me. They saw parts of Istanbul they wouldn’t have known about and ate incredible halal food on the cruise.
