We booked 2 hours bosphorus cruise from istanbuldaytours.
We got information that we need to be ready in our hotel lobby. Pick up was on time. I think all people should do that tour to see istanbul when they are in istanbul. It is kind a must to do.
Frist of all we had limited time to spend in istanbul. We requested airport transfer & hotel accomodition as well. After we got good deal ( I mean really good ), we booked the all package. Finally service & hotel was as expected.
It was excellent tour that when I go to Istanbul I will join again to see the villas, palaces and beautiful homes on the sites of Bosphorus.
It was nice trip to be on the boat and sightseeing around the Bosphorus.
Best of the Bosphorus by boat.
