1.Romantic Night Cruise Live Violinist

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 98 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $60Our pick

Spend about two hours on an evening yacht cruise from Istanbul’s Ömer Avni pier, with live violin, a glass of wine, and views of palaces, bridges, fortresses, and the Bosphorus shoreline. You can order additional food and drinks from the yacht menu.

“It was a decent and pleasant night. It was a really nice experience to end our last day in Istanbul with such a program. They offered live violin and a glass of wine. We ordered the rest from the yacht's menu. The view of the Bosphorus fascinated us. Our team was so sweet and gave us blankets to keep us cold. There was an easy meeting point. The team contacted us via WhatsApp and gave all the details. They are definitely worth the price. I have no doubt that I will receive this service again when I come with my friends next year.”

Meet a professional Istanbul photographer for a private 45 to 50-minute session at one chosen location, from the Blue Mosque to Balat. You receive 10 edited, retouched high-resolution photos within 48 hours. A multi-location upgrade and rooftop option are available.

“Our Photographer was just the best. He picked some great locations and made us feel very comfortable and at ease. The pictures turned out great, and I’m excited to share them with friends. When on vacation sometimes it’s really hard to get a good picture. You either have to do a selfie or ask strangers and the pictures are never the best. So hiring the photographer is the perfect way to capture. Great memories.”
