“Perfect tour on a lovely boat for us with our 13 year old son. Just the right length and level of info! We really enjoyed this trip. We have a 13 year old so didn’t want to spend all day being overwhelmed with information and this 2.5 hour tour was perfect. An hour or so each way up and down the Bosphorus gave us chance to see some lovely views of the city and waterside buildings with just the right amount of commentary about them. Boat was lovely - there were around 25 people on our tour - and the snacks and drinks were nice plus we could buy a beer or wine if we fancied it. The staff/host were excellent and couldn’t have done more to make us all relax and enjoy the tour. We would really recommend this trip.”

“I am not normally a tour person, normally I travel solo. I found this tour to be excellent. It was very well organized with lots of diversity. Most tours are only on a bus. On this tour we travelled by plane, boat, and van. We saw a lot in the 15 days, but I never felt hurried or that I was missing out on something. In addition to the planned activities, we had a good amount of free time as well. This tour also included the entrances to all the monuments and museums that we visited, which made it even more of a good value. The hotels were outstanding. We stayed mostly in 4 or 5-star hotels with one 3 star. (That one, in Bursa, was not as good as the others) Our guide was amazing. He knew everything. He shared lots of information with us, not only about where we were but the culture, the people, as well as the history. Don't hesitate, this tour is wonderful.”
Fabulous weather, lovely cruise

“Tour guide met us where expected and informed us of where to go and it was such a nice boat too! Very smooth sailing, snacks and drinks during our cruise and a funny yet informative tour guide. We even stopped briefly on the Asian side for some delicious yogurt w/honey. Made it back exactly on time. Very fun and relaxing.”
