12:30/13:00 – Our pick-up service will collect the guests from hotels and take them to the meeting point. Once meet with other tour participants and the tour guide, you will embark on the boat.
We will start the sail departing from Golden Horn and pass under the Golden Horn Bridge to Bosphorus. While we are sailing, we will enjoy lunch on the boat. Please note that during the low season we serve lunch on the calm water of Golden Horn. You will enjoy delicious appetizers, seasonal salts, Chicken Shish Kebap, rice, and seasonal fruit. During our Boat Trip on Bosphorus, we will see the Palaces like Dolmabahce Palace, Ciragin Palace, Beylerbeyi Palace, and Old Ottoman Villas lying on the Asian and European shores of Istanbul. Our Bosphorus Tour takes us up to the second bridge to the Black Sea side by passing under bridges, connecting Asia and Europe. It is a great advantage to have lunch between two continents on the boat.
At the end of the tour, we will sail back to Golden Horn. While we are sailing back we will be able to see the Old Mansions located by the sea on the Asian Side and we will be able to see Maiden’s (Leander) Tower. We will reach the port around 17:30/18:00 and you will be dropped off at your hotel.

The Bosphorus lunch cruise was a fantastic experience. The views of Istanbul from the water were breathtaking. The food was delicious and freshly prepared. I would definitely recommend it to anyone visiting the city!
