I am delighted to share my outstanding experience with Hakan, who coordinated our tours during a recent trip to Turkey. From the initial planning stages to the final day, Hakan’s professionalism, dedication and personal touch were truly remarkable.

We booked three key experiences through him: a Bosphorus Cruise Dinner in Istanbul, a Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon ride and a Day Trip to the Osman Gazi Set. Each experience was seamless, well-organized and lived up to our highest expectations.

What set Hakan apart was his exceptional availability and responsiveness. He was always reachable, even during early morning hours, ensuring we felt supported at every step. His timely follow-ups before and after each tour demonstrated his commitment to our comfort and satisfaction. We never felt rushed, confused or left out, thanks to his clear communication and proactive approach.

Hakan’s local knowledge and attention to detail ensured we had the best possible experience. Whether confirming pick-up times, providing useful tips or making sure we had the right information for each excursion, he went above and beyond.

If you’re planning a trip to Turkey and want a reliable, personable and highly professional tour operator, I wholeheartedly recommend Bosphorus Cruises. He doesn’t just arrange tours - he creates worry-free, memorable experiences. Thank you, Hakan, for making our Turkish adventure so special!

Highly recommended! ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐

I really recommend the dinner cruise! It was great fun, good food and such a fantastic ambiance and atmosphere! We booked a private table for 2 by the window. It was magical to go out on the deck and see the houses, the bridges, the beautiful places on the Bosphore shore. And back inside, it was so nice! A friendlly driver came to pick us up at our hotel, and drove us back. All perfect! Thank you for such a nice evening!

Without a doubt, it’s an experience you have to live, as it becomes a memory that lasts forever. The booking process is very simple and fast; they pick you up and drop you off at your hotel. The dinner is good, but without a doubt, the best part is the service and the shows performed during the meal. They can take beautiful photos of you that will be proof of such a wonderful and remarkable experience. Thank you for an unforgettable night.

Brilliant Bosphorus Dinner Cruise

Daniel from Netherlands

November 11, 2024

We were picked up and dropped off at the hotel with no problems.

In between we had a great dinner cruise. Food was good, service excellent. We were well entertained by the dancers and the music.

If you like to have an alcoholic drink with your meal paying that little bit extra is well worth it. The waiter ensured we didn’t have to ask or wait for the next glass of wine.

Would certainly book again and recommend this dinner cruise to anyone visiting Istanbul.
