“Replied to WhatsApp in 3 minutes flat. That kind of response time is rare on Istanbul cruise operators — and it matters when you're trying to plan an evening from a hotel lobby with patchy wifi.”

About Istanbul Princes' Islands Tour
This Princes' Islands tour takes you from Istanbul to the enchanting car-free archipelago in the Sea of Marmara — one of the most popular day trips from Istanbul.
This comprehensive 8-hour princess island tour begins with a scenic ferry ride from the meeting point, offering sweeping views of the Istanbul skyline. Your first stop is Büyükada, the largest island, where elegant Victorian-era wooden mansions line pine-shaded streets.
Hop on for a guided tour around the island, discovering hidden monasteries, panoramic hilltop viewpoints, and quiet beaches. After a traditional Turkish lunch at a seaside restaurant, enjoy free time for relaxation and photography. The Istanbul prince islands ferry ride itself is a highlight — a scenic 90-minute journey past the Asian shoreline.

“TÜRSAB licensing was important to us — we'd read about unlicensed operators in Türkiye. MerrySails proved their licence on the booking confirmation. Felt safe the whole time.”

“Telegram support since WhatsApp is restricted in Russia — appreciated they thought about that. Russian-language pricing page made the math easy. Great evening on the Bosphorus.”

“Perfect first night in Istanbul. The sunset over the bridges was stunning, the guide was warm and knowledgeable, and we loved the snack platter. Worth every cent — and so much less than we'd seen quoted elsewhere.”
