The cruise was good and nice, as you can see the Golden Horn and the Bosporus. Downside is that they let too much passengers on the boat. It was simply overcrowded. And the walk from the meeting point in front of Hagia Sophia to the boat was disorganized. One big mess.

The boat ride was nice. The only complain I have is that the audio was terrible, it was very low volume and you can not hear what was the description of the places we were looking at.
