It was a great way to see the city in a short period of time. It's perfect if it's a sunny day. It was well worth it. The tour guide spoke very good English.

On a sunny day, the cruise is wonderful. It seemed like it was 2 hours and covered a lot of the palaces, bridges, mosques and other important monuments you pass by. The spice market was great! A pointer: The tour brings you to one stall, and items are explained, e.g., Turkish delight and spices like saffron, and Turkish tea is served. Go to another stall and compare the prices!!! Prices are cheaper further down.

It was cheaper than the optional tour that my Japanese tour offered. Very enjoyable.

This was an excellent trip with an informative and friendly guide. The visit to the museum was nothing special and I would have preferred to set foot on the Asian side of Istanbul. But being on the Bosphorus was excellent!

The cruise was magnificent. Due to Eid Al Iftr, we were unable to see the Bazaar, but it was made up for by a tour of a private museum. Terrific guide!

The cruise was nice but we could have just as easily gone and done it ourselves. Would have liked to spend a bit more time at the Bazaar than the 30 minutes we were there.

We got what we expected, nothing special on extra from the guide. Her skills were on an average level, did the job and left us alone. The driver and the car were excellent!!

We were never collected from hotel, lost our money and also nerves along the way. Horrible service. Driver was 1 hour late, and we had already left hotel!

The guide took my group of four people to the ferry - public transportation. We could see nothing. We visited some kind of a private museum, but that was it. Take the public ferry yourself instead and save your money.
