a nice way to spend a few hours in Istanbul

I booked the tour the day before it took place. I had them pick me up at the hotel the morning of the tour. I did have to email the guide the evening before asking specifically what time I was to be downstairs in the lobby. I do not know if I would have been notified of this had I not emailed first. I was picked up on time in a small van. We stopped a few more times and picked up at other nearby hotels on the way to the harbor. The boat was nice and clean. There were around 10 of us on the tour so there was plenty of room to spread out and stay distanced. The crew/staff were all courteous and polite. When you stop in Kanlica make sure you try the yogurt. I got mine with honey and it was delicious. I am glad I booked this tour because we did pass a few other boats that appeared to be doing similar things and they were all much more crowded and people were very close together. They were also larger boats and not nearly as nice. I felt it was worth the extra money to be on a much nicer boat with a smaller group. A nice way to spend a few hours in Istanbul.

Excellent experience

There was a friendly atmosphere and pleasant service. The guide gave a nice amount of information about sights along the way, but not too much. Plenty of time to relax and take everything in.
