We arrived early as the ferry departs around 10:45 and the ticket office opens 1/2 hr ahead of time 50TL round trip. There are 5 or 6 stops along the way to your destination Anadolu Kavağı just before the third bridge. Here you stop for a couple of hours, lots of fish restaurants to choose from. Boat heads back at departure port. The whole trip is about 5hrs. Sit back and enjoy. 3btraveler

Very important notification for tourist If you’d like to take a Bosphorus tour , make sure you get to the right place , there is too many people around selling the tour with different price from 50 TL to 50 € but you can buy ticket from kiosk for just 24 TL there is two tours / one around 10 am and the other one around 2 pm *** most of the time kiosk for selling ticket is closed and it opens about half an hour before tour so need to be patient :) *** you see too many people getting on boats but they are just going one way trip to other side of the cities which is ok if you plan to use them but they don’t have return and you might get lost I found şehır Hatlari have better and bigger ship too Enjoy your tour

Definitely worth the little money you pay for a full experience. I booked a full Bosphorus cruise. Just some things to note: be there early to stand in the line early as people rush on board to get good seats. When you stop over in the fishing village, make sure you know which restaurant you want to visit by reading online reviews. They just catch you promising a good meal with a view(sometimes only the latter is true). On the way back, sit on the same side of the ferry so you see the other coast on the way back. Only reason I'd say 4 star and not 5, is because there's no commentary on board so you gotta know what you're looking for on the coast

I recently went on the Bosfor Boat Trip with Sehir Hatlari and had a wonderful experience. They offer two boat trips, a short one and a long one. I chose the long trip which takes around 6 hours, and costs 65 TRY per adult. It includes 1.5 hours of sailing, 3 hours break in a fishermen village, and then 1.5 hours return. There's only one long trip per day, and the ticket office opens at around 10:00 with the boat departing at 10:32. I recommend arriving earlier with 30 minutes before ticket office opening. The trip offers an incredible view of both the European and Asian side, and you get to see a couple of tourist attractions along the way. The boat was only about half full, so there was plenty of room to enjoy the sights. There is a toilet on board, but it's not very good. However, you can buy drinks and food on board which is quite convenient. Overall, I would highly recommend this boat trip to anyone looking for a great way to explore the city from a different perspective.

Great tour for such cheap price. Don't listen guides running around and offering tours, this one is great. Ticket office opens around 20 minutes prior cruise and you can buy tickets there. Boat is big and comfortable, so there will enough space even if a lot of people are attending. There is cafeteria onboard where you can buy tasty tea and some snacks.

If you are at İstanbul, should experience these ferry trip. Enjoy exiting scenery while passing through Bosphorus with this ferry. Drink Turkish coffee or Turkish tea at this moment. If you have enough time, strongly advice to book full Bosphorus tour that takes around two hours. Enjoy your time...

Top! Very accurate timing with a cheap price for a big Bosporus tour (65lira). The ship departs at 10.35 and stops on several piers to it 2.5h stop at kavagi next to third bridge of the Bosporus canal. At 15.00 it departs from there to go back. It's very nice and the small cafe on board had very good prices for tea (4.5lira) and simit (15lira). Overall it was a nice trip and relaxing atmosphere compared to the always living Istanbul. I can really recommend this agency. The ticket counter opens 30 mins Infront of departure. There is always a waiting line, calculate that to your plans.

Traveling across Bosphorus with a public ferry exceeded my expectations! Around 4 hours of traveling across Bosphorus! Breathtaking scenery! The ferry was not even half full and the price was unimaginably cheap! 24 Liras one way ticket per person!

The best choice for a full cruise on Bosfor straight, it will takes 5h with a 2h lunch break near the Black Sea end. The boat is large, have a nice bar with coffee and other stuff, the price is reasonable, it costs 65 Turkish lira in September 2022.

I feel it's the best Bosphorus cruise there is as they take you in a big boat hence you barely feel any movement which is good for people who get sea sickness. Yes there is no audio or guide but you can check everything on Google maps. We decided to sit outside on the top most deck and it gets really cold but if you want you can sit inside which is temperature controlled. 100% recommend this tour and it should be on your tour list for Istanbul.

Take this tour yourself. The tickets were only 32 Turkish Lira compared to £16 per person charged by Tour operators. The ticket office is near the Galata Bridge. We did the half day tour that operates at 14:40 and the tour lasts for approx 3 hours. Get you camera ready a click away for precious memories.

Price-value is the best in town (32 TL). I only missed an audio guide to know what did we see during the 2 hours trip.

Nice and cheap (65 lira return) way to visit Bosporus. Better be on time for the 10h35 long cruise because queues are long and in full sun or rain. There is nevertheless plenty of space on the ferry so everybody will find a place in or outside. Only cash payment.

Galata Bridge was so nice sightseeing. many people fishing on the bridge of Galata. it was amazing

I recently had the pleasure of taking a 90-minute sea trip on the Bosphorus, and I must say, it was a wonderful experience that I will never forget. If you enjoy taking pictures, this trip is an absolute must, as you will be able to capture some truly breathtaking scenery. In fact, I enjoyed it so much that I plan on taking the trip multiple times to relive the experience and capture even more stunning photos. I highly recommend this sea trip to anyone looking for an unforgettable time and a chance to capture some of the most beautiful sights in the city. Overall, I would say that the Bosphorus sea trip is an excellent way to spend a day, and I cannot recommend it enough. Whether you're a seasoned photographer or simply looking to enjoy the sights and sounds of the city from the water, this trip is sure to be a highlight of your visit.

This is the place for a 2 hour Bosphorous cruise. It was only 32tl and went all the way up to and beyond the Fatih Sultan Mehmet bridge. Ignore the touts nearby that tell you it only lasts an hour in an attempt to sell you a private cruise. Big boat, plenty of seats with shade or sun on top deck.

Most valuable cruise tour, it takes you across Asia and Europe repeatedly and to have fabulous views.

6 hour Bosphorus Tour only for 65 liras 🙏👍 With 2 hour stay in return point

Amazing way to see Istanbul in its fullest and does a great job showcasing what makes Istanbul so breathtaking. For such a cheap price you get an incredible 2 hour experience where you can see so much of what the city offers along the Bosphorus. Food and drinks are also available to purchase on the cruise which is a great option to have. View is spectacular and plenty of seating available. Was one of the highlights of my trip. This cruise is a must for anyone visiting the city!

Best place to get Bosporus tour in lower rates.

Amazing view on both sides of tge sea. The weather was cold but we enjoyed it anyway

Very comfortable! With a small Café with good coffee. The ferry has enough space to habe a relaxed transfer to the princess islands.
