Full description

Set sail on a cruise between Europe and Asia on Istanbul's Bosphorus Strait. See the wonders of both East and West from the water while accompanied by a multilingual guide. Stopover on the Asian side and explore Kanlica, a district that stands in defiance of time.

On board the yacht, hear stories of this mesmerizing city as you set out to pass sights on both continents, including Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, the Leander Tower, and Istanbul's most posh areas, Ortakoy and Bebek.

Pass under the two suspended Bosphorus bridges that connect Europe and Asia and Admire the thick walls of the medieval Rumeli Fortress. Snap photos of the city skyline and hear about the confluence of cultures that exists at this meeting point between Europe and Asia.

During this 2.5-Hours cruise, you'll be free to wander between decks to capture the best shots of Istanbul's attractions. Your guide will illustrate the history of what you see during the cruise; Bosphorus has a storied past and your guides know the fun facts you can't find in a tourist handbook.

The Bosphorus separating two continents has always been crucial to life in Istanbul. Once a prime channel to move fearsome armies through, it now serves more peaceful functions. Seeing this important trading route is a must-do for travelers.

It was a beautiful day out so the views from the Bosphorus were great. I enjoyed the stop over on the Asia side, but the time given for the stop was a bit short. The coffee, tea and snacks offered was a nice touch. Thank you to the tour guide and team that made it an enjoyable tour.

I thoroughly enjoyed this cruise, the guide explained so well as we were passing some monumental buildings/structures along the way.He has extensive knowledge of Istanbul history.I also enjoyed the snacks and drinks served on board.Their yacht is beautiful and in a good condition, to have some of the best pictures I recommend seating at the top level far back where there is no shade just next to the flag🇹🇷.Travel with family from South Africa to celebrate our Mom’s 70th.

The tour was absolutely stunning - seeing Istanbul from the sea is a must but what really made this the best tour we have ever taken was Taner the guide. We have traveled to over 50 countries and had many guides over the years but none were as good as Taner. His knowledge of all things Istanbul is shared with such joy and passion, you can tell he loves his job and his city. Request him. You won’t be disappointed. The boat is beautiful and spacious. The snacks and drinks continuous. The staff are so friendly. They even let my 2 year old son sit in the captains chair and where the captains hat. Truly memorable tour.
