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.
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
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.
Lukas E.
The communication was good and the pick up times were well communicated. The transportation was also good. On the boat, there is plenty of entertainment and our waiter was attentive. The food however, is not the best, it was rather disappointing. The wine and the beer was also not the best. So improvements can be made on the culinary experience.
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.
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!
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.
Sofyen
Nice organisation. Pickup went well from the hotel. Cruise was really good + spectacle nice. Kids really enjoyed. Regarding dinner we arrived at the boat and the starter was already served on the tables (salads + cheese pastry). Then 2 choices for the main course (fish or mix of meat). To finish some sweets and fruits as desert. One small bad point is the coffee or tea not included (extra fee) but anyway I highly recommend
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.
Neil
great ship. Great atmosphere. professional dancers. Enjoy your meal. gladly again
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.
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
Everly S.
I recommend this tour of Istanbul with dinner and folk dances to everyone. Sensational!
Amelia-Rose J.
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.
Ozturk Y.
Extremely well organised. With plenty of food, beautiful views and varied dance and musicals, the cruise was beautiful and a must do in Istanbul. There are photographers too onboard and they will print a personalized photo album for you if you would like to buy. However that seemed to be on the pricier side and we didn't buy it. Pickup and Drop at the hotel was hassle free and very timely
Sara
Thank you for the fantastic organization. Delicious food, a great show, and a beautiful night in Istanbul!
Annabella P.
everything perfect, although the purchase said Spanish language, and nobody spoke it. still a good 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
John
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!
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.
Funda T.
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
Johannes W.
Overall good experience, good organization, good staff. One caution: if the driver doesn’t come to pick you up by the appointed time, call the information phone number. We missed our scheduled cruise for that reason but they rescheduled. Also, pickup is designed for hotel guests so if you’re not in a hotel, also call the info number to arrange pickup. I think this event was a good value for the price.
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!
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.
