Review of Istanbul’s 2.5-hour Bosphorus yacht cruise, with Asian-side Kanlıca stop, hotel pickup, Turkish snacks, and guided sightseeing.
“This was a lovely boat and friendly crew. The tour guide was funny and easy to listen to. The sites were interesting. There were lots of things to eat and drink including nuts, cheese sandwiches with fresh fruit, water, Turkish tea and Turkish coffee. Our only complaint was that the yogurt they recommended we try on the Asia side was incredibly overpriced and they didn’t tell you until it was too late. There are other yogurt shops near the boat and in the city you could go to. Each yogurt was approximately $5 USD.”
