Bosphorus and Golden Horn Tour- Istanbul Cruise Excursion

Cruise lines need to collaborate with local business partners to complete their tours. We eliminate this collaboration, providing direct service to our valued guests. By visiting the same locations, we ensure a higher level of service, along with an additional guarantee of better prices.

At the cruise terminal exit point, we will be waiting for you with a signboard displaying the names of the guests with logo of our company. Prior to this, your guide will contact you via WhatsApp or phone call the day before the tour.

Respect is expected to be shown to the restrictions on religious worship areas in Turkey. Apart from these, you can dress as you would in your own country.

Additionally, using sunscreen and wearing a hat during the summer months will make your tour more enjoyable.

While Turkey boasts a relatively low crime rate, it is considered one of the safest countries in the world.

Turkey is a modern Islamic country where you can enjoy yourself and explore just like in any European country. However, there are a few things to keep in mind, such as avoiding entering a mosque with an alcoholic beverage in hand and ensuring that women cover their heads when in a holy environment.
