Bosphorus Treasures

Throughout the entire route, we will be accompanied by the most picturesque views and panoramas of the Bosphorus. The amount of superb photos and impressions will exceed all your expectations. And tasting authentic Turkish desserts in the best cafes will be a highlight of the day, providing lots of pleasure for both you and your children.

While cruising along the Bosphorus on a boat and later walking along the shore, I will tell you about the history of Istanbul and Turkey of the XIX-XX centuries, as well as about all the landmarks located on the shores of the Bosphorus.

This cruise is perfect for families with children!
