Overall, this was a great experience, but I do want to mention a few things: 1) this is not a small group tour as stated in the description - there were 40-50 people on the boat 2) the boat in the pictures is not the boat for the tour. The actual boat is not a “yacht” or luxury boat, but rather basic with basic amenities 3) tea and water were the only drinks available - no Turkish coffee or lemonade that was mentioned in the description 4) the tour lasted 90 minutes, not 2 hours and did not go to the Golden Horn All of that being said, this trip has a low price point and therefore a good value. The description just oversells or over exaggerates the product some. This is a basic sunset cruise with beautiful views and a great way to see Istanbul from the water. I do recommend it, but with knowing it is not a luxury or upgraded product.
