There are other items available for purchase. It’s a guided tour by speaker, which was great if you were near the speaker, but could be difficult to hear given the ambient noises in the Bosphorus.

They all made sure our kids were ok and having a good time especially with us having our 18 month old with us. Aside from the off-roading, the party on the boat was a highlight (Johnny Cash and his brother “Mickey Mouse” are born entertainers)… and the waterfall was rather nice too.”
