We had a great time on the cruise. The organization was perfect. We chose the hotel transfer option, we were informed on the pick-up time via Whatsapp message and the driver picked us up from the hotel on time. Our waiter was very attentive, our glasses were never empty. He also showed us the best photo spot and took a picture of us. The food was delicious and varied. The performance was really good (both singers and dancers) and we can only recommend this dinner cruise.

Really enjoyable experience! The transport was very well organized, the boat was clean and big. The dinner was OK, but the main point was about seeing Bosphorus at night and that we did. We were seated with some great people from all over the world and had a great evening on the cruise! Definitely one of the highlights of our stay here

Pick up from hotel at 7pm. Appetiser and salad served on the table where we can eat right away. We can choose either one: fish, chicken or beef for the main dish. Food is fresh and delicious. Waiters are attentive and fast paced. A photographer asked for permission to take our photos and we can choose if we want to buy the photos or not for 20 tl each. After the dinner, we proceed to the upper deck to watch the shows. During the shows, they served us complimentary baklava and coffee/tea. Baklava is abit too sweet for my liking. The shows go on for a an hour plus and is entertaining where guests could participate to dance. At the end of the shows, every guest is free to dance. It can be quite chilly at night, so be prepared to bring your own jacket. After that they send us back to a place nearby to our hotel. Overall I find the cruise tour to be worthwhile and its a must try for anyone who come to Istanbul.

Just one word - AMAZING!!!! This is a MUST HAVE experience if you are visiting Istanbul. Watching the sunset at the Bosphorus was definitely one of the key highlights of my trip. The tour was well organized, the guide explained all the places we passed by during the cruise. It did get very cold but, thankfully the team offered us blankets and tea. ;)

I went on the boat with a terrible migraine and ended up getting seasick. Gökhan, Nursah and Can took such good care of me. I wish that I had been fit enough to enjoy the snacks and views that the tour offered.
