Amazing experience!!! We went during January and the staff were amazing. Gave us blankets on the top floor, and heated bottom floor, so the cold weather was not an issue whatsoever. Great tour guide named Serdar, very funny and informative. Brush up on your general knowledge around Istanbul as there a few quizzes too! Very good fun!
This is the best cruise on the Bosphorus. The boat is a high standard and the tour guide is first class and very informative. The friendly service made the entire trip top shelf, highly recommended rather than the large scale high volume tour boats. Spend the extra and pick this one. You will love it.
