We stayed at a hotel that wasn’t on the pickup list, so we had a bit of trouble figuring out transportation at first. But the team was super helpful and found us an affordable way to get to the boat.

This was a great Bosphorus tour full of entertainment and delicious food. I actually booked my ticket just a few hours before the cruise, and everything was confirmed really quickly. While the pickup wasn’t directly from my hotel, the meeting point was only a 2-3 minute walk, and the van was very comfortable and modern. Once I got on the boat, I was welcomed with a drink and asked to choose my dinner. I went with the devil’s sea bass excellent choice! The atmosphere on board was incredible, especially from the top deck where I took some amazing photos just before sunset. The real fun started after 9 PM with traditional Turkish music, followed by energetic dance performances. It was lively, colorful, and honestly exceeded my expectations. There was a photographer onboard offering printed albums for sale. I personally didn’t need one since I took plenty of my own photos, but I can see how families or couples might enjoy having a souvenir like that. The views of Istanbul at night were stunning the lights, the breeze, and especially the bridge connecting the two sides of the city made for a beautiful and peaceful backdrop. The meal was a full 3-course dinner and, at $50, I felt it was a really good value compared to some other offers I heard about. All in all, a well organized and memorable evening. Highly recommended if you want to experience the Bosphorus in a relaxed yet entertaining way.

The boat was clean and comfortable, and the shows during the cruise were fantastic we really enjoyed the entertainment! The only downside was that service was a bit slow, and the waitstaff seemed a little stretched, especially on the upper decks. Drinks were unlimited but only came around a few times. Dinner was a 3 course meal with limited choices, so it’s best to pick wisely. The dessert was a bit disappointing just a small piece of baklava and some sour fruit. Also, the boat isn’t fully air conditioned, so bring some tissues just in case. Despite that, the overall experience and views made it worthwhile.

At my table, there was a fantastic mix of cultures: a young woman from Amsterdam, a Catholic from the Philippines, a Muslim gentleman from Algeria, and myself from Pennsylvania, USA.

Great value for the price, with an entertaining show and decent food. It’s definitely worth experiencing for a unique evening. The audio guide felt unnecessary since most of the time is spent seated watching the performances. We asked for a window seat but were informed it came with an extra charge, which wasn’t mentioned during booking. The trip from the hotel to the boat was somewhat lengthy, but the return transfer was smooth and timely.

The trip was fantastic, with an excellent waiter and a dinner that exceeded our expectations truly delicious. However, a warning for future travelers: during the cruise, a woman offers to take free photos, but later returns with an album and demands money a few pictures. We were fortunate to avoid this scam, but sadly, a family nearby was tricked and lost . Aside from this issue, if you ignore her, the whole experience is perfect a wonderful Bosphorus cruise with great dinner and show!

The hotel pickup was challenging and arranged at the last minute, which was a bit inconvenient. However, the boat itself was beautiful, and the food was delicious. The show was outstanding, making the overall trip very enjoyable. On the downside, although we purchased the unlimited soft drink package, it was almost impossible to get the waiter’s attention, and we only managed to receive two drinks. Overall, the trip was pleasant, but the drink package didn’t feel worth it.

The experience could have been improved. The audio guide didn’t function properly, and one of the four half portions was missing from our meal. I had nine appetizers on my plate, while my husband only had seven. Additionally, the dancers on the left and right sides of the stage weren’t facing the audience. We ended up watching the entire show and various performers from the sidelines, often surrounded by people moving in and out of the hall to use the restroom.

The evening was quite lovely the boat and the surrounding scenery were beautiful. The staff were very kind and helpful, and transportation was punctual. The food, however, was mediocre. The opening show was also underwhelming; the belly dancer’s performance felt unskilled and cheap, while the musicians were very talented. Among the four dancers, two stood out as skilled, but the other two seemed inexperienced with belly dancing. I think the experience would have been better if they had focused solely on traditional Turkish music. I would have also enjoyed seeing a karate dancer to boost audience participation. The final part of the show was good, and the overall atmosphere was pleasant. One downside was the overly strong air conditioning it was so cold inside that we felt chilled despite the warm weather outside, so I’d recommend bringing a vest.

A charming cruise along the Bosphorus offered stunning views and fantastic performances by the dancers and musicians. Unfortunately, the vegetarian meal was disappointing cold and consisted of fried spaghetti. On the return trip, the driver didn’t drop us off at the hotel as expected; instead, he left us quite far away, explaining it was a 25 minute drive, which was quite frustrating. Despite these issues, the overall atmosphere on board was enjoyable and made for a memorable evening.

I recommend this experience. For including transportation, meals, and all drinks, it offers great value. While the food isn’t outstanding, the table service is efficient, and drink orders are delivered promptly. The program includes traditional Turkish performances, and I highly suggest spending time enjoying the views from the open air bow and the upper deck.

This was a wonderful way to experience Istanbul’s sights in a beautiful setting. The food was decent, the service attentive, and the photographers did a great job. The show’s music was quite loud I was seated directly beneath the speakers, though I could still see everything across the ship, so other tables might not be much quieter. The view from the window was lovely, but if you prefer a window seat, avoid the corners where the air conditioning can be quite chilly. Overall, a pleasant evening thank you!

It was a pleasant evening, though quite tourist oriented. The performances were numerous, with talented artists presenting Turkish culture in a somewhat kitschy style.

This was my second time attending the event. The first time, we were on a larger boat that had a deck perfect for taking great photos. Although this boat was smaller, the overall experience remained enjoyable. Photos are available for purchase, but they come at a steep price.
