Prompt pick up from the hotel. The agent had prearranged to drop our tickets the day before to our hotel which was handy. Coronavirus wise, the boat was very crowded up top and there was very little social distancing going on. We had created a space for ourselves, with a gap in either side of our loungers, to ensure safety - but a crew member tried to make us move closer so he could put extra beds in. I refused, and in fairness he respected my argument and left us thy way we were. The staff are polite and friendly. Two on-board photographers, which could get a little annoying, but plenty of the younger people genuinely seemed to enjoy tour aspect ???? There was some hand sanitiser on board too. We had an "all inclusive" ticket, which included non branded soft drinks, water, coffee and local beer and wine. I don't drink so can't advise on the alcohol, but I heard it wasn't the nicest. You can also buy bottled beer and branded soft drinks. Lunch was actually very tasty and there was plenty of room below deck to space yourself out from others. Very enjoyable day, nice way to relax and chill out at a very minimal cost.

We have met with Chihangir in Paris and he helped me with my trip a lot. He is an excellent guide and a very nice person. He is well organized, friendly, honest, and professional in his job. He has deep knowledge of the history of his country Turkey and he was glad to share it with me. I would definitely recommend him as a tour guide as well as his services.

I booked this tour as a private tour and I am absolutely thrilled. Already at the pick-up you feel like a VIP because of the spacious vehicle. The catering is fully included and very good despite current legal restrictions. Great importance is attached to hygiene measures for pandemic prevention without having to have any significant restrictions on the experience. The guide speaks perfect German. Apart from that, he also speaks several other languages fluently. He really has an extensive expertise. You can have an excellent conversation about the cultures, mythologies as well as art. Although several sites are visited that are a bit far from each other, one is at the sights most of the time. The ancient buildings are fascinating and it is an indescribable feeling to stand in the middle of an ancient trade route while the guide describes life and events there at that time. At least as impressive are the waterfalls surrounded by nature and a park that invites you to explore. For cultural tourists, this tour is without a doubt a must.

Unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy this boat to the fullest due to Covid restrictions and some things not being allowed, such as the foam party. This was part of the reason we booked it for my son - however there wasn't really much children's entertainment either so that was a bit of a disappointment. However, the staff were friendly enough and still had good banter with the kids, especially Jack Sparrow and the guy who was doing the photography. The photos were nice but I think a tad over priced for me personally. But it was a nice momento for my son as it was his first time in Turkey and also out on boats at sea and swimming in the sea. The staff were very encouraging and helped get him in to the way as he was a bit apprehensive about it. We also enjoyed a short shopping trip at a small village, and lunch was lovely.

An excellent private tour by Neon Tours. Our guide, Ozcan (a university professor), was knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. The pacing was perfect and with the tranfers and lunch provided, this really was the best (and most reasonable) way to see the main sights of Istanbul. I followed previous reviewers and declined the visits to the spice and rug shops. Skip the Grand Bazaar (a most disappointing maze of knock-off merchandise) and shop down the local streets which have many charming quality items you actually do want to buy.
