The whole experience was great, a private table, good food, good entertainment, awesome service from Hasan, our server. My husband got sick motion (unfortunately) but Hasan gave him a pill and eventually he felt better. If you get sick motion I recommend taking something before, many people feeling sick. Otherwise a great experience!

    What a great and awesome evening that we have on this ship! Great performance (throughout the three hours cruise) excellent food served, friendly staffs and implacable service! The head waiter Ulas was amazing, he really took good care of us, filling up our water and ask us if we need anything else multiple times throughout the evening. Just wonderful all the way around. My wife and I truly enjoyed this program and we highly recommend everyone to come and enjoy.

    Great experenced i will recommend, staff very friendly and always attented, my only critizim its not so much choice in food, I do have veggetarian friends for main course but the rest is great, it fill all my expectation.

    Wonderful over and above a daytime cruise

    Arti_N, May 2026
    Wonderful experience even though I had done a daytime ferry crossing on the Bosphorous. Very difffeent and magical by night. I think it’s a great value for money as it included pick up and drop off, food, beverages, lots of folk dances and the cruise itself.

    Nice cruise

    Lisa_V, May 2026

    Dinner and cruise

    Patrick_M, May 2026
    The dinner and show was a fun experience. Our food was good, we had a choice of fish or meat. The entertainment was excellent. It exceeded our expectations. We misunderstood the pick up directions and did run a little late on the pick up. Sorry

    Awesome

    Susan_V, May 2026
    Transport to and from was average to say the least. Had no consideration for older people who needed the front seat instead let the young pretty girl sit there. Turned music up so loud the passengers in the back could not hold a conversation. The boat cruise was ok, would have been better in day time to see more, food was nice, staff were nice overall was pretty good. Dancing was fun to watch

    Will keep coming back

    Sharika_D, May 2026
    My second time on this cruise and it’s still as brilliant as the first one. Good space, excellent food, enjoyable atmosphere and entertainment. Highly recommend this.

    Over expectatives

    Marta_G, May 2026
    Good food and service, high quality ship and show. We would repeat as a different and confortable experience to navigate Bosphoros at night.

    Perfect and excellent value for money

    hilllesley, May 2026
    This was an extremely well managed experience. From the moment we were picked up from our hotel to bring returned back to our hotel. The food was well presented, tasty and quite traditional.

    Not the most enjoyable experience

    Deepa_B, May 2026
    It was way longer than expected. The food was subpar. The boat was over crowded. The entertainment was okay.

    Its a never miss event

    Jawad_A, May 2026
    Where to start . Nothing can go wrong with Lufer dinner cruise . Everything was just spot on and that too in just 22 £. Please buy your tickets online . There are people trying to scam you and asking 50 € for the same .live performance, unlimited drinks , 3 course meal .

    Went to a lifetime opportunity

    Elizabeth_S, May 2026
    Our tour guide was truly amazing. We enjoyed spending hours with her. She knew the history and the culture and the food. We learned so much and had the opportunity to taste so many amazing foods and sample amazing drinks. I had no idea what to expect but the tour by far exceeded my expectations. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone going to Istanbul.

    Amazing experience. Amazing food and drinks. Great service. Also the check in process was very easy.

    On a boat!

    Adam_Z, May 2026
    Amazing experience! Great Food! Great fun! Dances were entertaining and engaging. Perfect ambiance on the boat.

    I would not recommend...

    Caroline_F, May 2026
    I would not recommend this experience to anyone. From the beginning we had trouble with contacting the tour company. It was this worst communication I have experienced with any tour I have ever booked. We never received a pickup time to meet, I reached out to the company twice, and Viator customer service three times with no answer on the pickup time. We randomly received a messages asking if we could be at the pick up location in ten minutes with no other warning. Once we get to the port to board the boat, the driver simply told us to get off without any explanation on where to go. We just had to follow the crowd of another tour. The whole experience felt disorganized and unprofessional. The best part of the whole experience was the music and all the performances. 10/10. If it wasn’t for them I would probably leave one star.

    Great dinner cruise

    janette_a, May 2026
    Great experience, good value and included pickup from hotel. Food and entertainment were excellent as was the waiter service. Big thanks to Hassan for looking after us so well.

    Recommend to come if you're in Istanbul

    Had a great time, the entertainment was great and it is a must go to come here. Our server Yaluz was fantastic.

    Orlaith_R, May 2026
    Nice food. I couldn’t see the stage though which was a pity. There was also a door open near where we were sitting that let in a cold breeze. People traipsing in and out all night to smoke.

    Really nice cruise, good...

    Ling_S, May 2026
    Really nice cruise, good performance good food, and good atmosphere The whole evening was very enjoyable

    Ok

    kjok, May 2026
    Staff were lovely. There was a lot of food but it was bland and mostly cold. Even the hot food was only slightly warm. The entertainment was good if that's your thing. PS, we went VIP but other than being on a higher deck, I'm not sure what else you get (we did check out steerage and couldn't see much difference).

    Nice evening on Bosfor.

    Dmitriy_B, May 2026
    Very well organized although constant feeling of participating in a "tourist trap" experience. The dancing numbers were decent and the dinner and drinks were okay. Nice views of evening Istanbul - good for orientation and memorizing landmarks for visiting the next day.

    A very enjoyable evening

    Phyllis_E, May 2026
