I booked this tour going by the reviews from Trip Advisor.
Most of the boat tours leave from the Eminonu area (which is so so busy, total mayhem!!!), but we found this operator which leaves from Ahırkapı İskelesi, which is much more accessible. You can also meet teh tour operator near the Blue Mosque if that's easier, and they walk you to the boat (abotu 10 mins).
This a very well organised operation with great and welcoming staff. The audio guide switched between languages which catered for everyone. The snacks available onboard were also delicious.
I highly recomment this company and wouldn't use anyone else when visiting Istanbul.

Sounds like you had a great experience! It's great to find a more accessible departure point than Ahırkapı Pier, away from the crowds of Eminönü. Having the guide change languages is a very thoughtful touch and the snacks definitely make the journey more enjoyable. We are really glad you liked it. Thank you for your nice words.

Took this cruise because the cruise we booked to the black sea was cancelled due to wind. This trip was a great alternative and we were happy spent quite a bit less but saw most everything we wanted to see.

I'm glad to hear that the alternative cruise is a great option! It's always a pleasant surprise when a change of plans still leads to an enjoyable experience. We are really glad you liked it.

Very well organised and a detailed tour. We enjoyed it a lot. We went in March and it get’s quite cold on the boat so just remember to wrap up

Nice trip that start before sunswt. So we could see Istanbul view during daylight and when it started to get dark. Very beatiful of city views from the bosphorus. Unfortunately the audio guide was only frol 1 loudspeaker, which is not clear and I cannot herlar most of the explanation.
Evren S

We appreciate your feedback about the audio guide, and we understand how frustrating it can be when the sound quality isn't clear.
