I took this cruise in May with my husband and it was amazing ! Our guide back then was a dark skinned guy with curly hair who was absolutely fantastic and very engaging. gave us all the info,ade jokes, explained a lot of things and maintained a fantastic atmosphere. We loved it. I took the same cruise now. few days ago, and it was disappointing :( For the first part of the trip we had no guide, we had to stop somewhere to pick him up. Then, he wasn't engaging at all, he just offered a bit of info but more like a robot would be reading from a script, not like an engaging human being. And the worst was that, as far as I understood, the guide brought his family onboard, wife and 3 small children who was crying, screaming, ruining our experience. At some point, thank God, the family went downstais, as we were sitting at the top of the boat, and it was finally quiet. Even so, it seemed very disrespectful to the guests who paid for this experience. I wish they brought the first guide back.

We had a wonderful experience on our Istanbul boat tour with my husband, Michael. The tour was very well organized from beginning to end. We received clear information about where and when to meet, and everything was exactly on time. Our tour guide was excellent and provided us with lots of interesting and helpful information throughout the tour. The boat was beautiful, clean, and comfortable, and we really enjoyed the relaxing atmosphere. We were also served delicious tea and snacks, and we even had the opportunity to purchase some champagne to enjoy during the cruise. Overall, it was a fantastic experience and a wonderful way to see Istanbul from the water. We truly enjoyed our time and would definitely recommend this tour and your company to anyone visiting Istanbul!

Nice amount of time spent cruising the river and hearing brief summaries of the sites. It was a relaxing way to see the sites on a beautiful day. For those looking for more in depth narration, a private tour would be better.
