Description

Come explore Istanbul's breathtaking Bosphorus on our guided cruise! Tour starts from the historic Old City, where you'll discover the enchanting Istanbul Strait, gracefully bridging Asia and Europe.
Your adventure begins as we set sail from the Golden Horn, passing beneath the historic Galata Bridge, a symbolic gateway to the magnificent Bosphorus. As we cruise, our expert guides will provide fascinating commentary in English and Russian, sharing insights about the places you're seeing.

You'll glide along the European side, past iconic sights like the majestic Galata Tower, the opulent Dolmabahçe Palace, the grand Çırağan Palace, and the stunning Ortaköy Mosque with its impressive pillars. You'll also marvel at the suspended engineering of the Bosphorus Bridge.

Once we reach the Rumelian Fortress, we'll turn around for a charming return along the Asian coast. We even make a special hour-long stop in the lovely Beylerbeyi area for you to explore, maybe do a little shopping, or just relax and soak it all in.

Afterward, we'll head back, enjoying views of the charming Maiden's Tower and beautiful seaside houses along the way. We'll drop you off conveniently back at either Eminonu or Karakoy piers, leaving you with unforgettable moments of Istanbul's history and serene views.
