The boat was not the same as the picture, this was a bit disappointing. But it was similar enough. The tour guide shared interesting facts, besides being kind of funny. I would definitely choose him as a guide again. All the staff was friendly and helpful and the snacks were tasty. The time in the Asian side it’s a bit short. We only managed to buy a yogurt (delicious by the way) and see spend some time close to the yacht because time was limited. Regardless, I’d definitely recommend this tour. Not a lot of people in the yacht, great views. It was one of my best experiences in Istanbul!

A lovely way to spend 3+ hours, experiencing the beauty of the Bosphorus and the neighborhoods along its banks, and to learn something of Turkish history. The crew brought us light snacks, water, and tea, which was also nice. Our guide played over the boat loudspeaker a thoroughly enjoyable playlist of classic soft rock and pre-rock classics. My only mild criticism is that, although our guide was very knowledgeable and personable, it was sometimes difficult to understand her comments over the loudspeaker (although not when speaking face-to-face), possibly due to her fairly heavy accent in English.

The tour started much later and didn't last 3, but just a little more than 2 hours. But that was more than compensated for by Murat, our guide. He answered all questions extremely competently and humorously, it was very entertaining and interesting. Service on board also very nice and courteous. It's worth spending a few euros more for this tour because there are only about 30 people on board and it almost feels like you're on a private yacht.
