Where the listing page loaded in full, the included items were copied from it. Prices are the 'from' price in US dollars as GetYourGuide displayed them to a US-locale browser; you may see your own currency and a different figure on another day. Ratings and review counts change daily. For listings whose page did not load in our browser, the included items were taken from the GetYourGuide page as indexed by the Exa search engine, from the operator's own site (Mega Lüfer), or from alle.travel, which republishes GetYourGuide listings; those rows say so.",
  "headline": "Ten of the fourteen most-booked Bosphorus cruises show a crossed-out 'original' price next to the real one, so the discount is the normal price. A plain two-hour sightseeing cruise costs $6 to $9, a sunset yacht $12 to $57, a dinner cruise with show $20 to $31, and a private yacht $298 for up to 13 people.",
