Very average. Our tour...
Very average. Our tour guide Emel was very nice & caring and that is the only take away from the tour along with the Bosphorus tour experience! Camlica hill experience was not even worth mentioning and the tour didn’t cover atleast couple of places it was supposed to go. The restaurant that was chosen for lunch was disappointing! Overall not satisfactory at all !
Response from the operator: Thank you very much, we would like to see you again.

13 days across Turkey
We had a well planned tour of 13 days with Kadir AY as our trip organiser. We travelled across Turkey seamlessly from one city to another. Kadir AY is a very responsive and warm person. He kept in touch with us at every point of the trip, took feedback and was flexible to make changes as per needs on the ground. I would highly recommend him to my network for any future travel to Turkey.

Excellent Experience
While having lunch at this awesome terrace restaurant in Sultanahmet Istanbul area over looking the city attractions, we discovered a little Travel Agency called Turista Travel Agency. We met this very helpful knowledgable gentleman named Davut Dogan. Due to limited time in Istanbul, he provided us with perfect solution for all day guided tour of Bosphorus Cruise and Two Continents Tour with Lunch at the top of Camlica Hill. Davut was so kind enough to take us to nearby tram station and got our public transportation passes loaded up. If you are in Istanbul, please visit or contact him first at davut@turista.com.tr. You will have a great experience and save you a lot of time so can enjoy more with a local guided tour with transportation. They can handle groups of 4 and more.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much, we would like to see you again.

a wonderful visit...
I booked this Bosphorus tour during my few days trip to Istanbul and went from European side to Asian, a nice lunch at Camilla hills then visited the magnificent and very stunning Dolmabache Palace with Turista Travel, Veysel our tour guide, he loves what he does and make the tour very interesting. He knows well how to introduce many fascinating and beautiful corners of Istanbul. I will definitely come back to this beautiful city and book Turista and if possible, Veysel for our tour guide. All the best wishes from Indonesia

Why this scores 57
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bosphorus Cruise and Two Continents Tour with Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Bosphorus Cruise and Two Continents Tour with Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $89 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Istanbul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bosphorus Cruise and Two Continents Tour with Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 8 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Istanbul is not rushed.
Is Bosphorus Cruise and Two Continents Tour with Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 57 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.4/5 across 5 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bosphorus Cruise and Two Continents Tour with Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bosphorus Cruise and Two Continents Tour with Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bosphorus Cruise and Two Continents Tour with Lunch?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Istanbul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Istanbul and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bosphorus Cruise and Two Continents Tour with Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Istanbul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Istanbul?
+
On Outty we rank every Istanbul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour, Istanbul Luxury Bosphorus Yacht Cruise with Asian Side Stop, ISTANBUL BEST: Iconic Landmarks Full Day PRIVATE Guided City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Istanbul?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Istanbul?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
