Just the right length of time to visit each of the islands. Great service from collection at the hotel to the finish, with lunch laid on in between. Lots of wonderful sights to see capped off by dolphins on the way home.

It was a great day away from Istanbul's crowded streets. We took a pleasant boat ride and visited the Prices island, stopping at various shops and cafes. Overall, it was a wonderful event we thoroughly loved.

Nice day trip. Hotel pickup was on time, fairly short drive to the port. It was a perfect day on the water. Even saw o pod of dolphins/porpoises playing on the way to the island. After short stop on the smaller island, we wen across the strait to the bigger island, and had 2 hours to explore, then a nice cruise back to port. A beautiful waterfront view of Istanbul!

The boat ride was nice but gets boring after a while as there isn’t much to look at. The islands have nothing to do or see. The tour guide provided no information about Turkey. You are constantly being sold to on the boat - perfume, photos, bike rides etc.

So many negatives about this tour, hard to know where to start: Firstly the pick up was 40 minutes late (after telling us they would be 20 minutes early and directing us to wait outside our hotel in 5 degree weather). The crew sell fake perfume and sunglasses on board. When politely declining the opportunity to have our photo taken by the photographer on board we were asked for our reasons. Lunch was served on board and was good, but beware - they will offer you soft drink and then hit you with a TL 100 bill after lunch is finished for each can. Finally, only go on this tour if you like loud music played every minute of the 6 or 7 hours you'll be on board. Clearly the tour operators think this is some type of nightclub operating during the day. We initially sat on the top level of the boat and moved to the lower level only to find a DJ there starting up the incessantly loud music there.
