Review of Istanbul’s 2-hour sunset yacht cruise, with Bosphorus sights, snacks, practical tips, value, comfort, and honest drawbacks.

“Generally good but the guide was mostly incomprehensible as the PA system was rubbish. Nice selection of treats provided and it's a decent boat. Somehow our Viator booking didn't make it onto the trip's roster which provided a temporary panic as we were asked to provide additional proof of booking beyond just the ticket, so I had to dig through old emails to find the original viator confirmation email.”
