“You cruise the Bosphorus at sunset. Unfortunately, I did not find the description of cruise was adequate to what we experienced. Our guide was John, and he was friendly and outgoing. However, the boat had two levels, and he spent his time mostly on the 1st level. We saw him approximately 7-8 minutes and he only mentioned two features on the Bosphorus. Snacks consisted of Dorito's and nuts. 2 glasses of wine, were really, a small rock glass filled about 1/4-way, 2x's. Other traveler's that were on the 2nd deck also stated their disappointment in the cruise. Not what was advertised.”
