Full description

Set sail on a cruise between Europe and Asia on Istanbul's Bosphorus Strait. See the wonders of both East and West from the water while accompanied by a multilingual guide. Stopover on the Asian side and explore Kanlica, a district that stands in defiance of time.

On board the yacht, hear stories of this mesmerizing city as you set out to pass sights on both continents, including Topkapi Palace, Blue Mosque, the Leander Tower, and Istanbul's most posh areas, Ortakoy and Bebek.

Pass under the two suspended Bosphorus bridges that connect Europe and Asia and Admire the thick walls of the medieval Rumeli Fortress. Snap photos of the city skyline and hear about the confluence of cultures that exists at this meeting point between Europe and Asia.

During this 2.5-Hours cruise, you'll be free to wander between decks to capture the best shots of Istanbul's attractions. Your guide will illustrate the history of what you see during the cruise; Bosphorus has a storied past and your guides know the fun facts you can't find in a tourist handbook.

The Bosphorus separating two continents has always been crucial to life in Istanbul. Once a prime channel to move fearsome armies through, it now serves more peaceful functions. Seeing this important trading route is a must-do for travelers.

This 3-hour cruise on the Bosphorus was fabulous! The boat was a high-calibre yacht, the crew were real professionals, and the guide was informed and engaging. They provided a hearty snack, and we went ashore for ice cream and a peek around on the Asian side. This is a great value and far better than the cruise ferriesl

I enjoyed the cruise very much, particularly that it it was a smaller group of passengers, the yacht was comfortable and the staff was very attentive. The guide was informative and personable. Loved the extent to which we toured up the Bosphorus, beyond the second bridge and the stop on the Asian side where we could choose to enjoy some local yoghurt was nice.

Great short tour of the Bosphorus. If you only have time for a quick tour, this is a great option. There was plenty of room on the boat to make you feel like you have space and to be really comfortable. The stop on the Asian side is just for 15 minutes to say you did it.
