- T1383VPmichellet0 contributionsExcellent sunset cruise experienceThis was a great way to spend an evening during our time in Istanbul! Firstly, the staff was highly communicative ahead of the cruise, ensuring a swift meet up before boarding time. The cruise lasted approximately 2.25 hours and we were treated to stunning water and sunset views, informative narration, and delicious bites and drinks! The staff were so friendly and took beautiful photos for guests. We would recommend Velena Travel cruises over and over again!Written 17 March 2025

- Animesh S0 contributionsA Must Do Experience!!Excellent experience!! Amazing staff, so caring and helpful! They kept the tour very interesting with their prompt guide about the city and its history! It was our parent’s anniversary and they made it special with cake and by playing turkish anniversary music. We were also served tasty and fresh snacks, juice, tea!! The view from every angle of the yacht was beautiful. We got great pictures too! Overall a must do experience when in Turkey!!Written 3 March 2025
- 785martinh0 contributionsSuperbA very good trip. Beautiful small boat, friendly staff and a very knowledgeable and amusing guide. We cannot fault it! Some food and drink was included in the price too. It was really cold and snowing but options to move around the boat meant it was not a problem. A larger boat blocked our way back onto the boat after the stop, so the crew quickly got us all on a local bus to meet the boat a short distance away. Added to the fun for us!Written 25 February 2025
- 359agusp0 contributionsexelentvery good experience, when we first went it was really snowing so they invited us again for free and it was really cool, the crew is really friendly! i recomend doing it, they give you food and soft drink depending on the hour of the dayWritten 23 February 2025

Ah man where do I start. Food was horrible. Tour was interesting when you could hear it. Had to sit with strangers for lunch. I’d recommend getting a private tour if you’d like to explore the Bosphorus.
The fishing village 2 hours down river was cool, but you get like 20 minutes enjoy it.
We were over this tour after the first hour of a four and a half hour experience.

Last August we were so lucky to have a great day on Bosphorous cruise. We booked a tour in advance. The service was great, we were met and placed . During the tour we contemplated the incredible views of the beautiful city with a cup of tea and delicious Turkish dishes. We were really impressed. Next time will repeat it with pleasure. Recommend to all
