Disappointing

Douglas_F, May 2026

No narration on cruise. Too loud music. Meal was ok but nut exceptional. Service was good and entertainment was good but too loud

Response from Host, May 2026

Dear Guest, Thank you for sharing your feedback. We are glad to hear that you found the service and entertainment good, and that you appreciated the overall effort of the team on board. Regarding your comments, we would like to clarify that the Bosphorus Night Cruise is designed primarily as a dinner and live entertainment experience rather than a narrated sightseeing cruise. For guests looking for detailed historical commentary, we usually recommend daytime Bosphorus tours, which are more focused on narration and landmarks. We also understand your point about the music volume. The evening concept is intentionally lively to match the traditional Turkish night performances, but we appreciate that preferences can vary and we will certainly share your feedback with the onboard team for review. Thank you again for your comments, and we hope to welcome you on another Tourmania experience that better matches your expectations. Kind Regards 🧿Tourmania Team

OK but would try another company

MuffyClark_G, Oct 2025

It was a very crowded boat and I was hoping that the cruise might have gone farther down the Bospherous in the other direction. We were told we would get one alcoholic drink per person and they told us it would be extra. The way the seats were arranged it was difficult to get a full view of the dinner show

Response from Host, Oct 2025

RexBryan_R, Feb 2023

Good value, having both dinner & show. Be prepared to wait in the bus for other guests to board before heading to the dock.

Es war sehr schön und...

Nurcan_M, Oct 2022

Es war sehr schön und amüsant. Vorallem Istanbul über Nacht muss man gesehen haben. Für den Preis ist es völlig akzeptabel. Organisation mit Abholung und zurück zum Hotel hat sehr gut geklappt
