With pleasure, we are leaving feedback: We were very pleased with the Bosphorus cruise, rating it 5. Everything was very well planned. Our captain, Mehmet Akif, was very punctual and courteous. Despite the rather cold weather, we had an unforgettable day. Many thanks to Viravira for the organization and personally to Captain Mehmet Akif.

Ömer Bey'in teknesinde bizi kendisinin abisi ve de iki murettebat arkadas karşıladı. Tekneye giriş çıkış ileri yaştaki insanlara da uygundu. Iceride de ust guverteye çıkış yine merdiveni uygundu. Alt guvertede ayni anda 9-10 kisi oturabiliyor. Yukarida da yine 7-8 kişi. Tekne 30kusur kisilik dense de, elbette ayni mekanda oturma duzeni degil. Ote yandan ic mekanda da tabi ayni anda 10 kisi oturabilir. Yani eger 15 kisilik grupsaniz cok rahat edersiniz. Cok insan ayakta durup fotograf cekiyor oluyor zaten. Servis iyiydi. Tekne gayet şık. Ust guvertede yiyecek tuketilmesi istenmiyor, onu onceden bildirmek lazim. 4 saatlik Bogaz gezisi icin 10 kisiydik. Gayet yeterliydi ve de guzergah da hoş bir sekilde duzenlenmisti. Halic'i gormek guzel oldu. Ellerine saglik.
