Overview of your Istanbul tour

BOSPHORUS CRUISE - 2 hours cruising between Asia and Europe - Cruising on the Bosphorus is one of the "must do" attraction in Istanbul, a great and handy way to see the whole city rapidly - Bosphorus (as a neighborhood) is one of the most expensive real estate in the world. Especially old Ottoman Mansions are considered as one of the most expensive houses.

Unfortunately Mehti had to substitute another guide before the tour, but was very communicative and arranged an excellent replacement. Even though the weather sucked, the views of Istanbul from the Bosphorus were spectacular. Our guide was very well informative, and responded more to our questions rather that lecturing. This suited our group perfectly.

Metin organised a great cruise of the Bosphorus with the best boat in the harbour, he was flexible when I was running late and responsive to all requests. I had a great time thank you!

Metin is a fantastic guide. We did the boat tour of the straight. He pointed out lots of interesting things while on the tour. In addition walking to and from the port he was a wealth if information. You won't go wrong with using Metin to learn about Istanbul and Turkey.
