We read a lot of things about the Bosphorus Strait, and had a lot of expectations, Although we still recommend to take one of the tours, please be advised that you might not be able to get any useful information about various attractions located along the straights,
I wrote a detailed review on touring the Bosphorus on a small boat tour because various of the larger ones had bad reviews and ours was so great. It didn't save (along with 2 other Istanbul reviews I wrote, out of about 6 I covered when I returned. Anyway, it is fabulous to see…
The boattrip on the Bosphorus has always been part of our stays in Istanbul. It is best before sunset. Try to come back to Eminönü around sunset. Then you will always yearn for Istanbul for the rest of your life!!!
Okay, so it was December and it was cool, but this was well worth the time. Luckily it was sunny the whole trip and we enjoyed the experience. Highly recommended.
A Bosphorus cruise is a must in Turkey. The price you have to pay is 25 TL. I recommend you to make the tour by night because the view is priceless
