Fun enjoyable evening on the Bosphorus

Corey_M, Aug 2025
This was a fun evening where we felt like we were not simply tourists doing touristy things with other foreigners, but experiencing a bit of Turkish culture. We were picked up from and dropped off at our hotel…this was a fun adventure as we drive all over picking up other participants. There were extended families there, people of all ages, from elderly family to young children. My fish was very good, and as a celiac (severe gluten allergy) I was able to eat the lettuce and the fish without having a reaction. I did book the upper end of the package so we sat off to the side and had 2 glasses alcohol per person. My husband enjoyed the appetizers (I was afraid to try them) and the potatoes. So, while it wasn’t a complete gluten free meal for me I WAS able to eat enough and the cultural experience was well worth limiting my food intake to salad and a whole fish (and the wine…can’t forget the wine, which was decent). Overall I highly recommend this adventure.

Pathetic

Usman_Y, Nov 2021
It was a poorly organised tour. Pick up was late. Seating arrangement was poor with overcrowding and no COVID safety being followed in the boat. No organisation of seating and waiting service. Poor table service. Served with worst possible food during our entire holiday. Guests smoking inside the cabin in front of our children. Overcrowded both lower and upper decks so couldn't escape smokers and drunken disorderly guests. Definitely avoid for ppl with family. Poor value for money as overpriced and pathetic experience overall.
