It was easy to find our guide but 'jumping the queue' was like being in a huge rugby scrum. That was down to the Cistern's admissions process which was chaotic.

About: Istanbul Bosphorus Cruises

No image description available

See Istanbul from a new perspective! Cruises along the Bosphorus are a unique way to see the city and avoid the crowded streets.

If you want to learn more about the history of Istanbul, a city cruise with an audio guide would be a good fit. Or, if you are seeking a cultural flair, a cruise with live entertainment or dinner served onboard (or both!) may be the perfect option.

With day and evening cruises available, sailing along Istanbul's Bosphorus River is sure to be a Turkish delight.
