Our tour included a trip on the Bospherus. We went over to the Asian side and visited an old "Yalli" which was fascinating. The Bospherus is exciting to be on--many years of history and many different kinds of buildings. Was great to see many fishermen as well!

Well worth a boat trip as you get great views of both the Asian and Europe side of Istanbul. Well worth doing the touristy boat trip as you get the captain's commentary which is quite interesting.

this is amazing above all if u live it from a boat. it's historic, pcituresque and very romantic. i just love it

A cruise on the Bosphorus is included in most package tours and is a good way to get the lie of the land of Istanbul and see both continents of the city. The commentary tends to be indecipherable and pretty rudimentary so you may find yourself tempted to wander to other quieter parts of the boat.

This is an excellent trip. We would have liked to spend more time on the water, but we were limited in the time we had. the 2-hour trip was sufficient to see most of the sites along the Strait, but investigating the sites would have been better.

The weather plays a big part in the activity - we were on the ferry for about 3.5 hours and it was really too long for what you see. There are some interesting sites but on balance there are better ways to spend your time in Istanbul.

Boat trip down the Bosphorus is well worth doing. Very enjoyable, would recommend going towards sundown. Would have liked commentary on journey to point out places of interest

I took two separate cruises on the Bosphorous. One cruise line focused mostly on providing food and drinks. The other outfit was more suitable for those interested in a historical/cultural lecture. Ask what you are getting before purchasing tickets.
