See Istanbul from a completely different perspective with this half-day cruise along the Bosphorus Strait. Once the cruise begins, you're free to relax and take photos as you travel along this natural waterway that links together Europe and Asia. Enjoy the massive skyscrapers and colorful buildings bordered by the city's lush forests and tranquil blue waters. Try to spot some popular tourist landmarks like the Rumeli Fortress, a massive stone structure built on top of hills, and the opulent Dolmabahce Palace, which served as the main administrative center of the Ottoman Empire. Once the cruise is over, you'll then take a bus ride to get to the Teleferik Cable Car Station, where you'll get to see the magnificent Golden Horn, the primary inlet of the Bosphorus. Enjoy a scenic cable car trip up to Pierre Loti Coffee House, where French novelist Pierre Loti came for inspiration. Soak up this unbeatable view of the surrounding areas, with gorgeous views stretching down to the Galata Tower.

There are very beautiful buildings on both sides of the Bosporus. There are also English broadcasts on the ship introducing the history and culture of both sides of the strait. It is great to take pictures when the weather is good; but the cable car ride only takes a few minutes, so it is not worth it. Take the time to line up for the ride. The tour guide also took care of the group members throughout the whole process, assisted in taking photos, and introduced the scenic spots. In short, if your itinerary in Istanbul is not tight, it is highly recommended to participate in this activity.

The excursion was scheduled for 13.30 p.m.
Initially they informed us that they would come from the hotel at 12.30 a.m. for pick up.
The same morning, they informed us that the departure time would be earlier at about 11.30 p.m.
Finally, they arrived at 12.30 p.m.
They took us to a cafe where we were waiting I don’t know what.
Then they took us to a fur shop where they had arranged for us a leather clothes show, and suggested to buy items with 50% discount off.
Then they took us to the ship where we again waited for departure.
On board the tour guide did not give any sightseeing information, instead he slept the whole trip.
It was justified that the police did not allow to give us further information.
On the cable car visit, he again left us alone in another cafe.
And on the way back the driver made a detour to take the guide to his home.
Our return journey took one hour and 40 minutes.
The tour was supposed to end at 5:00 p.m. It ended at 7:00 p.m.
I would be obliged to send me the full refund our payment as compensation for the inconvenience.

I am very happy to visit a new scenic spot. I can see the whole of Istanbul, Europe and Asia from a high place. It is very beautiful. It is a pity that the heavy rain did not let me stay too long. Thanks Giray for your company.

Well organised, great views, lots of sights included, tour guide was really helpful and driver dropped us off at the end of the tour at our next planned stop rather than the hotel. Excellent service
