We were picked up from our hotel after the bus was late coming due to traffic delays. The tour guide dropped us off for a 35 minute visit to the Spice Bazaar before the cruise. The Spice Bazaar was excellent. The 1 1/2 hour cruise though windy and cool was very good. The commentary provided was sufficient to give you the necessary information but not too obtrusive to detract from the fantastic scenery. It is a magnificent waterway and your cruise boat is often dwarfed by tankers etc using the Strait. East meets West, Europe one side and Asia the other. Istanbul is a colourful city and it was good to view Istanbul from the Bosphorus. The bus driver dropped us back to our hotel but was happy to drop some passengers off at the Grand Bazaar and Spice Bazaar.

My then-boyfriend (now fiance!) worked with the company to create a beautiful surprise engagement for me. Working with them behind the scenes and online, he was able to arrange a gorgeous yacht to pick us (and only us) up in Istanbul, which cruised up and down the Bosphorus River. The captain and a company employee pointed out historic sites, and arranged for a delicious Turkish dinner to await us below, while we were enjoying the sights on the second level. When it was time to propose, the captain left us by ourselves, with a fruit platter and bottle of champagne. They were so accommodating and helpful, and it made the amazing experience of getting engaged to the love of my life all that more special.
I highly recommend this company! They are experienced, patient, and willing to help out however they can. The yacht was absolutely lovely, and we we charmed by the Istanbul.

When we think of Istanbul we typically think of the Topkapi Palace, the Blue Mosque, the Grand Bazaar which are all fantastic, exotic sights, but for us, the Bosphorus Cruise is what made Istanbul a magical experience. The splendid palaces and beautiful homes set among leafy neighbourhoods that slope towards the water are remarkable. Hundreds of small boats rushing hither, thither and yon, from Europe to Asia and Asia to Europe make the waterway as exciting as Venice's Grand Canal. Do NOT miss this amazing cruise when you are in Istanbul.
Bosphorus Cruise is the most famous cruise in Istanbul Turkey. It is a must to try. The view from the cruise was very fascinating. It take almost 2 hours to ride this cruise. Love the View very much. Such a lovely trip to take when you can travel to Asia and Europe side in one a single trip
