Sunset boat tour on Bosphorous - The views on the tour are great and it s quite long - goes to the 2nd Bosphorous bridge. There s information along the tour in multiple languages and free tea and coffee. I found the tour a bit crowded, normal chairs are lined up on the higher deck in multiple rows. But it s good value for money

Pleasurable journey - Very cheap for two relaxing hours with explanations on sight monuments in several languages. Recommendation: Please note that the temperature at the 7.00pm departure can drop several degrees in two hours and it is advisable to arrive a warm garment.

Must do. - Excellent tour. Though the boat did not fill up, it was at 20% capacity, they left on time and took us on the cruise. There were no distractions like jugglers and dancers. This left us free to enjoy the spectacular views.

Just a boat ride - They don’t guide you, they give you a link to access an online guide on your phone, which one of us got on for 5 minutes until it logged her off. I couldn’t get on at all because it was asking for a password and username. Plus, they play loud Turkish music, so you wouldn’t be able to hear anything. If you want a boat ride, it’s fine. Don’t expect to learn anything about the sights.

Scammers in disguise, stay away. - They leverage scammers to sell "private" cruise tickets that includes drinks and snacks but turns out to be a total scam. Everything to purchase. Crowded big ferry size boat. Do no trust or only buy online.

Please don’t !! - The quintessential definition of a tourist trap. I don’t usually leave bad reviews except when is NOT WORTH THE MONEY AND TIME. I don’t understand the overwhelming 5 star reviews. - First and worst of all is that the seats are arranged to fit the maximum capacity of people, making you seat sideways instead of facing front. You can only see one side of the ship at a time and if you happen to sit on the side that is far from the shore you have to bend backwards to be able to see anything. After 30 min you have a back/ neck ache. - They pack the boat, and with so many people standing to be able to see anything it becomes uncomfortably very quickly. - They don’t mention that you should bring your earphones for the self guide provided as the one in the loudspeaker is poorly translated. - it’s like a market on board, they should use the space to better accommodate the passengers. To be fair, most boats I saw during the “cruise” had the same seat arrangements.

Okay - It was really hot and sweaty. The food line took long and the person made us to a review. I felt pressure. But the boatride itself was okay

Tour leaves to be desired - I passed high note I don't know why! Boat crowded full of chairs in the middle being bad to get to the edge and take photos, audio that they say has a speaker that does not give to listen to anything. Basically a tour you are on your own to run and pick up a good place and search the places that passes on google.
