Explore Istanbul on a full-day cruise along the Bosphorus Strait and the waters of the Black Sea! With an onboard guide, learn about Istanbul and enjoy three stops to discover some of the landmarks. See where the city’s Ottoman-era sultans spent summer vacations at Ortaköy and Rumeli Hisarı Fortress, and take a tour of Küçüksu Palace — one of the city’s gems. Swim in the Black Sea in büyük liman off the boat or explore the medieval ruins of Anadolu Kavağı. An onboard lunch featuring Turkish meze is also included.

The cruise lived up to how it was advertised. The young guide was knowledgeable and helpful; the swim at the mouth of Bosphorus was great. The lunch was good.
It was hot and the crew was slow in providing water when asked.

We had a great time! Very informative, and we loved the cultural stops along the way. The pace was perfect and the food was good with lots of options throughout the day.

We were happy we did the full day cruise as we got see much more than the people who joined half way through. Definitely a good way to spend a day in Istanbul. The pick up & drop off service was convenient - don't be surprised by Istanbul's awful traffic though, which can make things slow.

A fabulous day. The guide was great, we were well fed and watered throughout the day and made 5 stops in total. Some lovely sights. Definitely recommend. The Bosphorus is a beautiful day out

This was cancelled 36 hours before it was due to take place. Very disappointing but after Viator had arranged a refund IBO offered us a free shorter cruise which was reasonably good although the guide wasn’t that clear ( perhaps if he had stood still with the microphone it would have been easier to make out what he was saying)

Although the boat experience & lunch were very good, the time alloted for each stop was not. Too much time & lots of waiting to leave at the fort while not enough time at the fishing village near the Black Sea. The swim in the Black Sea was never offered nor time allotted.

Great shipboard cruise to the mouth of the Black Sea with a few stops along the way. Lunch on board the ship was good. Time for swimming near the Black Sea, but water was too cold for me, but others went in.

Share the most memorable parts of my experience? Sure. That would be the end when we were supposed to take the bus back to our hotel where we were picked up. The driver drove right by our hotel (on the highway) without stopping. And would not go back. We had to pay for a taxi and will be arriving back to the hotel almost 2 hours late, ruining a dinner reservation we had. In addition to this, the boat was very small and old, which was disappointing. We did 4 tours in Istanbul and this was the only disappointment. What a shame.
