It was a really great evening on the ship. The organization was perfect. We had chosen the hotel transfer option and were informed in advance of the pick-up time and then picked up on time and with no fuss. On the ship itself we had a very nice and courteous waiter who showed us the best photo spots on the ship and also took photos of us. The food was delicious and varied (starter, main course and dessert). Price performance was really good and we can only recommend this event. The view of Istanbul at night is not to be missed.

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

It was so good so I booked again the night before I left Istanbul, I had a very bad problem with my leg and I couldn't walk so good and they really helped me, I am very grateful with the driver who picked us up and everybody working there, nice people, the show is super complete and funny, the music, the view. I would love to go back again.

Beautiful sea, dolphins. The islands have a different way of life and houses despite their proximity to the mainland. For a change, if your feet are tired from walking tours, you can take a trip.

Great way to start off a vacation in Istanbul. You get to see different points of interest along both sides of the bosphorus. The tour is done by an actual person, not a recording. There was enough room to sit comfortably and move around. The hosts were very accommodating, providing plenty of snacks and drinks. We even got to see a pod of dolphins. A beautiful view of the sunset. Definitely worth the time and money.

I recently went on the cruise with my family and had an absolutely amazing time. From the moment we arrived at the port, we were greeted by friendly staff and efficient transportation. The cruise ship itself was beautiful and spacious, with plenty of activities and amenities to keep us entertained. One of the highlights of the cruise was our waiter, Salhat. Salhat was always attentive and friendly, and he went above and beyond to make sure we had a great dining experience. He was always quick to recommend dishes, drinks, and was there for whatever we wanted Another thing I really appreciated about the cruise was the activities. The food on the cruise was also delicious, everything was cooked to perfection. The desserts were especially memorable. Overall, we had a wonderful time on the cruise. It was a great way to relax and have some fun with our family. I would definitely recommend this cruise to anyone looking for a relaxing and enjoyable vacation

It was a delightful evening. The food was tasty and the entertainment was enjoyable. We signed up for it the same day as the cruise (just a few hours before it started) and also requested transportation. I was a little worried about getting the pickup figured out, but I was messaged (WhatsApp) within a few minutes and we figured out transportation with no difficulties. We took our five kids and they enjoyed it, though it does go kind of late and several fell asleep at the table.
