About Bosphorus Tour Istanbul
Bosphorus Tour Istanbul, at bosphorustour.istanbul, is operated by Authentic Day Tour, LLC. We are a team of Bosphorus cruise specialists, and the strait is the only thing we do. We do not sell a bit of everything. We focus on one of the most beautiful waterways in the world and on getting you out on it, on the right boat, at the right time, for a fair price.
What we offer
We bring together the best Bosphorus cruises in one place, so you can compare them honestly and book in minutes:
- A cruise for every traveller: dinner cruises with a live show, sunset cruises, daytime sightseeing cruises, and private yacht charters for couples, families, and groups
- The real boat, every time: real photos and videos of the actual vessel, so what you see is what you board
- Instant confirmation: your place is confirmed the moment you book, with your confirmation arriving right away
- Fair, clear prices: the price you see is the price you pay, with taxes included and no hidden fees
- Free cancellation: cancel up to 24 hours before departure for a full refund
Our mission
The Bosphorus is the only strait in the world that runs through the heart of a great city and separates two continents. Palaces, fortresses, waterside mansions, and two intercontinental bridges line both shores, and the best way to see all of it is from the water.
Our mission is to make that experience effortless to book and impossible to get wrong. No guessing which boat is real, no unclear prices, no worrying about what happens if plans change. You choose your cruise, you book in minutes, and you step on board knowing exactly what you are getting.
Why travellers choose us
- We are specialists, not a marketplace for everything: the Bosphorus is our entire focus, so we know the boats, the routes, and the best times to sail
- We know Istanbul: our team is on the ground here, and we choose the operators we list ourselves
- We verify every boat: we list only licensed, insured operators with inspected boats and qualified crew, see verified boats and operators
- Real human support: before, during, and after your cruise you reach a real person, not an automated reply
- We stand behind every booking: if anything falls short of what we promised, we make it right
Booking you can trust
Every booking is protected by our guarantee: what you see is what you get, your payment is secured by Stripe, and if a cruise is not delivered as described, you are refunded. We earn your trust by being clear and by keeping our word.
