2.Istanbul: Bosphorus Cruise w/Audio Guide and Sunset Option

★★★★★★★★★★3.9 · 1,758 reviews · 2 hours · from $14

Meet the host near Hagia Sophia, walk about 10 minutes to the pier, then cruise the Golden Horn and Bosphorus between Europe and Asia. An offline multilingual audio guide covers the sights, while the sunset option adds soft evening light. Bring a jacket, as the open deck gets windy.

“Very nice tour. Meeting place is in front of The Hagia Sophia that has a green striped awning and you will see the guy with the yellow shirt and umbrella. If you also see a big group forming you can also ask them if you are confused. After you meet up you will walk 15 min to the boat, if it is a big group they have 2 boats so don’t worry about getting on the first one. I recommend bringing a sweater or shawl as it does get windy and chilly if you sit outside. Overall good experience”

Por otro lado si eres español,tienes que esperar al intérprete español, en mi caso Fernando, que sabe muchísimo de estrellas y constelaciones. Luego lo que se ve por el periscopio no es gran cosa, exceptuando un planeta que mola bastante. Si te gusta el tema de las estrellas y demás,no te lo puedes perder, pero si ni fu ni fa, mejor que no vayas. A mí personalmente me impresionó. A mí pareja nada. También lo del volcán es flipante, pero si te gustan esas cosas. Al igual que antes a mí me impacto mucho,mi pareja…”

It was extremely frustrating and disappointing given how much money we spent.”
