What an amazing day cruise this was. Getting off the boat on both the Asia and Europe sides of Istanbul gave us a unique experience into the diverse cultures that make up Istanbul. Food (including the scrumptious morning tea snacks and buffet lunch) was superb and great value. It was so relaxing siting back eating and drinking as we made our way up the river to the Black Sea. We thought we saw so much of Istanbul this way, much more than we could of on a land tour. Then, swimming in the Black Sea was an awesome fun experience for everyone on the boat. This was one of the best day cruises my wife and I have ever done and I thoroughly recommend it for its professionalism, hospitality, food and culture value. The crew looked after us all day and it was a brilliant start to our Eastern European holiday!

Good trip which brought us to places we would never otherwise go. Touched the Black Sea and the boat immediately turned back. The boat does not at all look like in the photos though… more like a fisherman’s boat!

The cruise was cancelled at the last moment and ruined my plans. No explanation for the cancellation was given.

Overall value was very good; relaxing & informative. You might just consider a 1/2 day. We did a full day and a bit much. Tour was reasonably good. Places we visited were pleasant. My homey swam in the “Black Sea” but technically it is in the Bosporus Strait. My homey said the undertow was too strong.

Excellent tour from beginning to end. We were fortunate to have an absolutely lovely day weather wise. The guide was knowledgeable and very responsible as far as making sure every detail went as smoothly as possible. It was a relaxing way to spend our first day in Istanbul to acclimate to the location and to the time change. Perfect balance between relaxing and sightseeing/walking.
