Nice experience. - We booked Bosphorus trip online and received information about pick up and tour details by email. Driver came to pick us up from hotel, which I find very convenient for first time travelers to Istanbul. All tour was very comfortable and guide was mentioning all places with a little history on 4 languages. Weather was breezy and cloudy, just right for boat ride. View of Bosphorus, East and West was spectacular. Must see. We enjoyed our trip, had daughters with me 7 and 15 y.o. They liked it from beginning to the end. Little upsetting thing was the toilets, extremely dirty, hopefully management will improve that.

Good time - I would suggest this experience. It is peculiar as you will see different views of this big city. The guide is not so much detailed and it appears approximated but it is adequate to the budget required.
