Enjoyed seeing Istanbul from the Bosphorus! - Cruise covers the Europe and Asia sides of Turkey. Boat gets crowded but there was enough seating. Great to get pickup at hotel and would suggest agency adding return to hotel.

Average - The hotel pick up was well communicated and prompt, no issues. The Bosphorus cruise itself was mediocre, but I guess you get what you have paid for. It was a cheap tour, so no regrets. It was a large group on the boat, and the audio guide just meant short loudspeaker announcements in several languages. Usually by the time they got to the English announcement we have already passes the landmark. I guess if you don’t need the convenience of getting picked up from the hotel, you are better off just hopping on a ferry.

The Bosporous cruise was... - The Bosporous cruise was lovely. When I asked Viator to pick us up at our hotel, I assumed it meant that you would ALSO return us back to the hotel - which you did not. It was a surprise!!!
