5.00A great evening with lovely hosts. On the ball with pre-trip communication and directions. A comfortable cruise on small yacht on the Bosphorus. Small group made it much more relaxed. On board, the yacht was comfy and clean, the commentary was both informative in an easy going way. Fruit platter and nuts provided were lovely together with wine. Lovely way to spend a couple of hours in the evening. Blankets provided for windier evenings. Fabulous.
The highlight of my trip to Turkey. Thank you so much.

5.00Everybody on the boat including me enjoyed the conversation, the route, the wine, the charcuterie, the stories, the history and the photo opportunities. The size of the boat and the amount of people accommodated this is great And the price, is it well worth What you get ! I plan to do it all over again next time. And bring more people with me.
Local knowledge and an intimate atmosphere.

5.00Simon and Georgina made this an excellent tour. Local knowledge and a more intimate atmosphere with a smaller group made me extremely glad i didn't book a large ferry tour instead. Definitely worth supporting this local business.
Absolute amazing tour❣️

5.00We were originally booked on another similar tour, but when our operator and boat never showed, Simon warmly invited my husband and I on to this sunset & wine cruise right on the spot. It was even better than I had booked originally, we were so pleased how this worked out. Very small group & felt personal. We enjoyed a perfect sunset, cruised around the beautiful Bosphorus, sipped on delicious wine, and enjoyed the best commentary one could ask for. The cruise was entertaining and informative, Simon delivered an evening that was just what we needed. The whole experience was welcoming and inviting, so much so, that ourselves & 3 others went out for drinks after to carry out the night at a local bar. Thank you Simon & Crew - keep doing your passion!
Don’t miss this

5.00This is a truly special experience. Simon and friends share their love and passion for the city and the beautiful Bosphorus while you sip wine, enjoy snacks, and look out on stunning views. This an intimate, small group experience - don’t confuse it with the large, canned tours you see elsewhere. If you are looking to meet real people and hear about real neighborhoods and things to do, this is for you. I hate to use the word “authentic,” but this really is. Don’t miss it.
Best Way to See Istanbul. Fun, Scenic, and Boozy!
