Istanbul Cruise Tour Reviews
Guest reviews from travelers on Cruise tours in and around Istanbul
Daniel O. | Traveled in August
As a retired history teacher, this tour was a dream come true. Exploring ancient sites like Cappadocia and the Athens Acropolis brought so much history to life! I felt like I was diving into a living textbook at every turn. The guides’ detailed storytelling made it even more engaging. Cruise was good and the hotels were comfortable. Everything was fine.
Stella A. | Traveled in July
Although the tour had a quick pace, it was well worth it. My highlights were Mykonos and Cappadocia; I loved the tranquil island atmosphere of Mykonos, and the breathtaking landscapes of Cappadocia felt like something out of a fairytale. Each destination offered its own charm.
Adeline C. | Traveled in July
The tour included several extra activities, and my spouse and I chose to do the hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia, which was, by far, the highlight for us. There was also some free time built into the schedule in Santorni and Mykonos; we chose to relax As a vegetarian, I had no trouble finding suitable options, which was a relief. The hotels were comfortable and clean, all rated four stars. Overall, this is a tour I’d recommend to anyone.
Brooke A. | Traveled in July
This tour had a bit of everything, and that’s what made it memorable. I loved how toure guide kept things running seamlessly, giving us a perfect mix of guided activities and free time.
Aubrey B. | Traveled in July
The tour was top quality. Every detail was thought out in advance, with careful planning you could really feel. The staff were responsible and clearly loved their work—it showed. We especially connected with our guide, Mehmet, who had both a strong grasp of history and a great sense of humor that brought positive energy to the group. Visiting the Mausoleum of Ataturk was an especially powerful moment, with Mehmet delivering an emotional and impactful explanation. As a history enthusiast, I was truly moved by the historical sites like Troy and Canakkale. Beyond that, the hotels and food were excellent, adding to a thoroughly memorable experience.
Juan A. | Traveled in July
Our group of 20 was the perfect size—large enough for some fun energy but small enough to stay organized. The guides were engaging, and the mix of structured activities and downtime gave a nice balance. Santorini’s beauty and Cappadocia’s landscapes were the highlights for me. I’ll happily recommend Eskapas to anyone looking for a rich travel experience.
