Review of Istanbul’s 2.5-hour Bosphorus sunset yacht cruise, with landmark views, snacks, drinks, indoor seating, and practical booking advice.

“Lovely sunset boat tour on a large private boat. Great option for my first tour after a mid-day arrival from the US. Tour accommodations were suitable for couples, families and solo travelers. Once onboard we were provided with water, snacks, orange juice and tea as part of tour price. Staff was polite and efficient as they ensured our needs were met. Mid-tour the weather temperature took a nose dive and we were offered blankets so that we could comfortably enjoy the evening sunset. The most moving part of the tour was enjoying the sunset as we sat and listened to the prayers from two mosques-definitely a memorable experience”

I wear a hijab and was able to do all the things without running into any men so I didn't have to skip any of the experiences or worry about covering up.”

“The provider was very fast in response when I booked this transfer a month ago, given me the details of pick up points and asked me to confirm time of pick up when it was nearer to date. I contacted one day before to change the pick up time an hour earlier since I knew the disembarkation time and could get to airport early than late. It was smoothly arranged. On the day, the driver arrived 5 min earlier; good for us as we were early as well. The car was spacious, comfortable and the ride was smooth. We arrived the airport much earlier than our check in time, so…”
