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. Once there, everything was amazing such a beautiful way to be introduced to Istanbul. We got to enjoy a ton of delicious food, endless drinks, and great cultural performances. A really special night!

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 scenery on the Bosphorus was absolutely stunning and the night air was refreshing. However, the food didn’t quite meet my expectations, and the service felt a bit chaotic and mediocre at times. The tour was longer than I anticipated. Overall, a mixed experience but still worth it for the views.

Super fun experience! I took my parents on this tour we’re from Turkey but not Istanbul locals. The food was really great, even by Turkish standards, and the live entertainment made the night fly by. By the end, everyone was dancing, and the belly dancer was definitely the highlight for most of us. Highly recommend this for anyone visiting Turkey!

The wait staff were all amazing super friendly and attentive. The entertainment was pretty good, and the views from the boat were lovely. The food wasn’t the best I’ve had kind of overcooked and lacking flavor but it definitely wasn’t terrible. Considering the price, I’d say it was a good value overall. A nice way to spend an evening in Istanbul!

We had a lot of fun with the variety of entertaining acts every performance was great! The food was decent; the starter was tasty but the main was just okay, and the fruit was fresh. The staff were friendly and attentive, and of course, the views of Istanbul from the boat were stunning. Overall, a really enjoyable night out!

Helpful? Yes

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.

Had a really good time overall! The pick up arrangements were a bit confusing at first, so make sure you double check the details ahead of time.

The cruise itself was enjoyable with nice views and a relaxed atmosphere. Would recommend if you’re looking for a chill evening on the Bosphorus.

This was a great experience overall! The dancing and shows were really fun and kept everyone entertained. The food was good too, though there was a big spread when we arrived and some dishes didn’t quite hit the mark for my family. It felt like a bit of food went to waste, so maybe a buffet or some way to pick appetizers would help. Our server was super attentive and gave us a great rundown of everything. Definitely enjoyed the whole experience and would recommend it!

The organization for transfers and overall service was definitely 5-star. The show was enjoyable and the cruise itself was lovely with great views. Our only small issue was the main course was served cold, and the bread came in a bag, which felt a bit out of place given Istanbul’s reputation for amazing fresh bread. That said, the portions were generous and most of the food tasted good. Overall, a memorable evening!
