Reviews: Istanbul: Bosphorus Sunset Cruise with Drinks & Snack
Guest User2026-01-31
We came to Istanbul for just a couple of days in January. We planned to take a stroll, but it was very cold and rainy outside. Nevertheless, we decided to take a Bosphorus cruise. We chose a tour on trip.com because we could pay with a Russian card and the price was cheaper than what we were being offered on the street. After reading reviews, we opted for the snack-only package, and we didn't regret it. Firstly, we were allowed on the boat almost an hour before the tour itself, and we sat at a table in a warm, dry room instead of freezing in the rain. We downloaded an audio guide in advance, and it turned out to be a very interesting ride, listening to it. The cruise itself lasts two hours. We mostly looked out the window because it was very cold outside, and everything was visible (we looked at the route in advance and sat by the left window so we could see everything). Snacks included a fruit plate, cookies, and drinks (tea, coffee, soda). We met the staff; they sat with us at the table for half the journey and chatted very friendly with my husband. Overall, we had a very pleasant experience on this tour.

Except for the expensive tickets in Turkey, there is nothing wrong with it.

It's simple and quick, and the verification process is easy, but the ships at the dock aren't very easy to identify, so you still need to consult the staff.

The Guide was knowledgeable and very nice, he encouraged us to ask questions, and answered them without an issue. Transport was nice and on time. However, I would appreciate if the activity provider included an option with entrance fee to Hagia Sofia, so we didn't need to purchase the tickets from the guide on the spot.
