Overview

If cities have souls, then Istanbul's is right here, where the Golden Horn meets the Bosphorus and the Sea of Marmara, and the most intense activity is the movement of people and the selling of things: from domestic fire extinguishers to fresh fish grilled over wood fires on moored ketchas.
- The first must – see stop will be Spice Bazaar. A brief explanation about the miracle of the herbs and we can taste delicous Turkish delights here.

- Sightseeing tour of the Golden Horn begins. Joining the cruise from the awe-inspiring Dolmabahce Palace to the ancient Walls of Constantine and onto the Topkapi Palace on Bosphorus by public boat in 90 Minutes.

- Experience the best views the city has to offer while enjoying a wonderful cruise along the Bosphorus.

Frequently Asked Questions

Q: Will I get seasick on Istanbul: Bosphorus Cruise Tour?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023

Sorting, ranking, and search results

Activity name

City Boat Tours wants to make your searches as relevant as possible. That's why we offer many ways to help you find the right experiences for you.

On some pages, you can select how to sort the results we display and also use filter options to see only those search results that meet your chosen preferences. You'll see explanations of what those sort options mean when you select them.

If you see a Badge of Excellence label, the award is based on average review ratings, share of bookings with a review, and number of bookings through City Boat Tours over a 12-month period.

The importance of any one factor over any other in a sort order varies, and the balance is constantly being reviewed and adjusted. We're always updating our systems and testing new ways to refine and improve your results to make them as relevant as possible to meet your needs.
