Topkapi Palace is enormous and majestic. The guide did his best to provide historical context and explanations for each spot he showed us, but since there were so many of us in the group and so many people there, he just highlighted the most important points before moving on to the next one, so it felt a bit rushed. It’s definitely worth visiting the Palace!!!

Absolutely stunning place, the guide (his name was Suat I believe) was professional, knowledgeable and he was speaking in a very interesting manner. He took good care of the group on an extremely crowded day. Sometimes the signal of the receiver was not so great, but overall it was a great experience and it was worth to buy 'skip the line' option. Thank you!

I bought the online tickets 15 minutes before the experience starts, so we easily skipped the line and then the views and the whole trip was very pleasant.

This tour is a must for getting a better view of and understanding Istanbul. The boat is huge and comfortable, and offers a great view from every angle. The only downside was that they couldn't scan the QR code sent by the company. We had to call the local management, who kindly allowed us to board the boat after I provided all the payment details they requested.

Quick and easy access to Hagia Sophia and the Basilica Cistern—for a Byzantine history buff like me, it gave me more time to enjoy them

This Bosphorus cruise was truly the highlight of my trip to Istanbul. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, with no stress or waiting. The private table added a special touch, and the four-course dinner was delicious and beautifully presented. The live show really elevated the atmosphere – the combination of music, performances, and energy on board was amazing. But what truly takes your breath away is the view of Istanbul at night, the bridges, and landmarks as you sail between two continents. A perfect mix of relaxation, great food, and an unforgettable experience. Definitely something worth doing, and I would do it again without hesitation.

#I loved everything about this tour! The guide was very helpful and informative. We waited 20 minutes for Blue Mosque, 10 minutes for Hagia Sophia, and 5 minutes for the Basilica Cistern. I would happily do this tour again as I feel there is so much more to see than just the first pass through. 11/10
