The evening was just perfect. Beautiful views, music. Istanbul at night is incomparable. The food is delicious, and the alcohol is good. The service and staff are wonderful. This tour is suitable for everyone. We went with a group for fun, and now we want to go as a couple for a romantic experience. You must go!
Daniela

Jenny
Fantastic experience- Pick up was on time. Food was amazing and plentiful and unlimited drinks! Entertainment, onboard photographer, atmosphere and the views all amazing! Coffee at the end of evening! My family and I thoroughly enjoyed it! Must must do if you are in Istanbul.
Benjamin
It was a wonderful experience. We were picked up from our hotel and given good seating . The starter course was good and there were choices for main . The cruise gave a beautiful view of the monuments and resorts along the Istanbul coastline. The passing under the Bosphorus Bridge was a great sight as the bridge was illuminated during the night . The performances on stage were amazing specially the incredible belly dancing. There was a cheerful audience which supported the stage dancers and the atmosphere became very lively. The drinks were free and unlimited. Overall a very memorable experience.
Ray
Amazing. Had a wonderful tirne. 100% worth the money, I wanted to change the day I initially booked and they were very kind to change it to the next day with no problem. The prince island is so pretty, the first island is very calming while thr second is busy and bustling with tourists and locals. Loved the experience and the fact we got picked and dropped off from hotel to islands
Nino
I really liked the tour. There was no seasickness on the boat, the views are beautiful, the chef is amazing – the hot food is incredibly delicious. An interesting show program, a fun disco, I recommend it to everyone.

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
Debra
It was worth the money. The staff is polite and attentive to your comfort. The ship was quite simple, with two floors, but only one was used. It had many covered tables, one of which was reserved for you in advance. There are three small open decks with semi-sofas. The food is decent but not exceptional, with a choice of fish and meat for the main course. The show (dances and such) didn't impress me. Bring your own alcohol and occupy a sofa on the upper deck with your friends.

I recommend this tour of Istanbul with dinner and folk dances to everyone. Sensational!
Samat
It was a fantastic tour the guide was a real professional person who knew the ins and out of the Island and he never wasted a minute of our time at the Island . Even when we wanted to go by the buggy ride he helped us in buying the Istanbul card as u know it was all in Tukey language.

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.

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.
Ebru T.
Fantastic experience, and Osmar was an unbelievable waiter that just made our experience that much more valuable. Such a great service! Great food as well. On board you’ll find a professional photographer that at the end of the cruise will leave you a photo album of your portrait for an extra cost. The entertainment is good, but the best is the view from up top. Loved it
Radovan M.
More precision for withdrawal times… if you say within 24 hours before you are given information, don't wait for one to contact you worried on the day of the event .. More care needs to be taken in this
TAKUYA
The food is delicious and the volume is satisfactory. I was happy that Turkish wine and liquor were all-you-can-drink. There are so many kinds of shows that you don't have time to look outside. If you have something you want to see, such as buildings on both sides, you will have to be careful. There is Shisha as an option, but sales are not so persistent.
Aktas S.
I do love the Boshoporus Cruise, the entertainment was amazing, food was okay but not really much for the Standard Menu, The staff are very great and friendly, the pick up was very late but after i do understand because we were stay at Sultan Ahmet area which is very traffic at that time and especially for the bus.
Melichar H.
Very nice, we enjoyed the time and liveliness of the atmosphere. But I still can’t give 5 stars. The quality of the food is as much as we could expect from such entertainment venue, not for our spoilt taste and past experience - nothing too special. The waiters were attending, but tried to offer us “extras” despite that we had full VIP package. But the show was very good! Dancers were - even not professional stage group - were radiating positive energy, and synced to nearly perfection in their moves. Many thanks!
Samantha R.
A wonderful tour of Istanbul at night. Very tasty seabass for the hot dish. Lovely waiters who constantly take care of the guests and refill drinks. Remarkable shows of Turkish and Eastern dances. Everything is top-notch. The only thing I would add is tea or coffee with sweets at the end of the program for those who want it.
Betsy E.
Really good value for money. Enjoyed the Bosphorus tour and spent decent amount of time on 2 islands. Food was decent and hosts
Raoul H.
If you have the time and money definitely something you should do. The cruise was beautiful, the Bosphorus was so scenic at night and all the staff were pleasant. The food was better than I expected and there are photographers on board who take your photos and you can purchase the photo book or just single photos.
Yasmina B.
Great night! Dinner and shows are great. They are really helpful and kind. Bosphorus view is an amazing at night. The pickup and transfer to boat went smoothly. The whole tour was very well organized.
Julius B.
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.
Katherine W.
Excellent and pleasant experience absolutely recommended for those traveling to Istanbul even just a few days. It allows you to combine the moment of dinner with something more special: the excellent service from start to finish: they took care to contact us already days in advance to agree on the time and place of the pick-up, with direct and immediate communication, even with the driver. Impeccable and on time transfer service. The frugal but typical Turkish dinner served at the right times and the show was pleasant and fun!
Amanda
What a night to remember. From the moment we were picked up at our hotel to boarding the cruise ship, were were greeted with very pleasant staff who guided us to our table and provided the best of care while we were there. The food was great and our host made sure everything was to our satisfaction the entire time. the music, dancing and entertainment were superb and in all, it was a fantastic night. I will do this cruise again next time I am in Istanbul.
