Beautiful sunset views of Istanbul from the Bosphorus. A relaxing cruise and a wonderful experience!

25 days ago

The sunset was my favorite part. The light on the buildings along the shore was beautiful, and we enjoyed watching the other boats go by. Bring a light jacket if you want to sit outside.

We went as a family and everyone enjoyed it. Seeing both sides of Istanbul from the water gave us a different perspective after exploring the city on foot. We spent most of the cruise outside taking pictures, then just sat back and enjoyed the views. A relaxing few hours and good value for us.

Great views and great value for money

1 month ago

The views of Istanbul from the water were absolutely beautiful, especially as the sun was setting behind the city. We saw many famous landmarks and took some amazing photos. The staff were friendly and helpful, and the whole experience was relaxing and well organized. It was one of the highlights of our visit to Istanbul, and we would definitely recommend this tour!


Highlights

This sightseeing cruise departs from Eminönü pier in Istanbul and sails between Europe and Asia along the Bosphorus Strait for about 2 hours. Cruise up the European shore to the Second Bosphorus Bridge and return along the Asian shore, admiring landmarks such as Topkapı Palace, Maiden's Tower, Dolmabahçe Palace and Beylerbeyi Palace from the water. Choose between a clear, calm morning cruise and a sunset cruise overlooking the city in golden light. An English-speaking live guide accompanies you, and a multilingual audio guide is available on your phone.
