I booked this becsue it included the Golden Horn. I have previously done a more expensive Bosphorus trip that did not include as much Golder Horn as I wanted. Overall, I was pretty disappointed with this experince. Boat was like a cattle car, very crowded. The price was cheap but they spent a lot time trying to worm more money from you. Would not repeat. Better to spend a bit more and get a more comfortable, persoanl experience.
I chose this tour because when I read the reviews I didn’t see a mention of people selling photos with Ottoman dressed people and parrots (like other tours), it was 1:30 hours, and up to 50 people. Well, there were the photos people and the parrot and the tour was longer than expected (we met at 12:15 to meet with other people, walked to another spot. By the time the tour ended it was 2:45.) We walked with a group of over a 100 people but we split into two groups so that was true. Other than that, it was fine. Just know before you go! 🦜📷
Very good overall. Food on board very overpriced. Was repeatedly approached with offers for photos with some people in medieval costumes.
It's a very nice trip with stunning views seeing many highlights of Istanbul. The tour was very well organised. The boat provided enough space that everybody could find a place to have excellent view. For refreshment we liked the nice selection of fresh fruits and freshly squezed fruit juices which were offered on board for sale.
Myself and my partner really enjoyed this cruise. We were unsure going as the price was a lot cheaper than other cruises. However it far exceeded our expectations. Definitely the best option if you are looking for a cruise.
