2.Short Bosphorus Cruise Tour With Hotel Pickup And Audio Guide

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 369 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $24

Cruise Istanbul’s Golden Horn and Bosphorus for about two hours, with hotel pickup, onboard tea and coffee, WiFi, restrooms, and recorded or live commentary in English. You’ll see both European and Asian shores, palaces, mosques, forts, and Maiden’s Tower from the water, though extra passenger stops can lengthen the trip.

“The variety of structures on show and the narration makes it interesting and quite relaxing. The weather is a bit cold this time of year, I spent the first half an hour on the top deck until I discovered the incredibly warm downstairs area where there are reasonably priced coffee and snacks. The guys who meet you at the tour shop are friendly and engaging too. One star lost because I couldn't quite understand the narration when we were sat downstairs, but other than that, great tour, definitely worth it”
