Golden Horn and Bosphorus Cruise Tour
Tour Overview
A Bosphorus cruise is a must-do on any trip to Istanbul. Onboard this scenic boat tour, we’ll navigate the waters of the Golden Horn and Boshorus, the oldest and most historic quarter of this vibrant Turkish city.
At the appointed time, we will meet at **La Pasión Turca** shop. From there, we will walk towards the **Ahirkapi Pier** to embark on a cruise that will offer us a stunning view of the sunset over the Bosphorus Strait.
As we sail, we will witness the mesmerizing purple, orange, and scarlet hues of the Istanbul sunset paint iconic landmarks with romantic colors. These include the Maiden's Tower, the Bosphorus Bridge, and the magnificent Ortaköy Mosque, located right on the shore of the strait. Throughout the cruise, a knowledgeable guide will provide insights and details about each monument we pass.
After two hours of peaceful sailing, we will return to the same pier where our delightful **Bosphorus boat tour began.

Customer Reviews
It was one of the best
This company is only interested in money and doesn't care about the quality of service or living up to the description. They tell you that you’ll first spend an hour touring Istanbul from the meeting point to the boat departure point, with the guide explaining things about Istanbul, but our guide walked quickly to the boat and literally stopped only once to talk about a building that used to be a prison and is now a hotel. He didn’t provide any further explanations anywhere. And the worst part came next... The two-hour cruise on the Bosphorus turned into an hour and a half, and since they crammed more people onto the boat than could fit on the upper deck (which is where you get the best views), we had to stand on one side of the boat where we couldn’t hear the guide’s explanations. Also, it was supposed to be an activity exclusively in Spanish, but since they let on more people who didn’t speak that language, they had to translate everything into English. I wouldn’t recommend it at all.
A highly recommended tour, with great views from the boat and informative explanations from our guide, Diego.
Booked english speaking boat tour. Worth mentioned that only ones sitting on left side of boat could see all the tourist objects. Other half tourists couldn’t see. All boat ride guide translated each sentence in spanish and then english. Whole boat trip you hear mostly spanish commentaries and then all around you is sitting spanish tourists speaking loud as well and half of english commentary is just not heard. And then they put spanish music on. Feels like excursion in Spain not in Turkey. Don’t recommend this tour.
It's worth it
