“This tour operator is terrible. Don't book it. I ask when I booked it if I would be able to ride my mobility scooter to the boat. I got no answer. They notified me that they would pick us up at our hotel at 5:15 and showed up ant 5:50 after the tour was to leave the Marina at 5:30. Then they tell me I could not ride my scooter to the boat. I didn't need it on the boat but they got a guy on the phone with an attitude. He said he tried to reach me the night before which was not true. We didn't get to go…”

Istanbul: Bosphorus Yacht Cruise with Stopover on Asian Side

13.Bosphorus Yacht Cruise with Stopover on Asian Side

★★★★★★★★★★4.9 · 925 reviews · 2.5 hours · from $47

Review of Istanbul’s 2.5-hour Bosphorus yacht cruise, with Asian-side Kanlica stop, palace views, snacks, tea, and an English guide.

“A wonderfully coordinated experience from start to finish. Everything ran seamlessly: from the meeting point to the cruise itself and the return. The guides arrived early to organize participants and check lists, and since we were a large group, we were divided between two yachts. The cruise was fantastic, with engaging live commentary filled with interesting insights. The onboard service was excellent, and the light snacks provided were delightful. The stopover was equally enjoyable, I grabbed some yogurt and browsed a few charming artisanal pop-up stalls. Overall, it was a memorable outing that I’d happily recommend.”
