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 experience, well run, beautiful sights of the bosperous. Food was excellent and overall great value.
Pros: Well organised tour, good food, excellent entertainment.
Cons: It was so hot inside as the air conditioners were switched off. We were dropped off 6 minutes walk away from our hotel.
Food, vista, and entertainment were excellent. Lots of great memories with friends. The cleanliness of the yacht and the service was amazing.
Very nice dinner cruise on the Bosphorus with good food and spectacular views of Istanbul. We enjoyed the traditional Turkish dances. Highly recommended.
Great experience. Food was excellent and the entertainment was great. The scenery is great as well, cruising on the Bosphorus. Would recommend!!
Do the VIP experience is worth it, the pictures they take are expensive but they cine out nice. But you also have the chance to take real nice pictures with your phone
Having been on a number of these cruises in other countries this was nothing special - food was poor music much too loud whereby I could not converse with my wife - staff were good - would not repeat
Very entertaining boat cruise with a wide variety of talent and delicious Turkish dinner. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. Seeing Istanbul at night is so beautiful and colorful.
I didn't know what to expect, but was pleasantly surprised. Evening cruise had good classic food, wonderful entertainment, excellent service staff, smooth driver transfer. Good value! Highly recommend. Dining setting has great ambience.
I got a private table with my family with the hotel transfer. Event started on time, great communication with driver transfer, arrived there in a timely manner. Cruise well organized, service staff promptly tidies area and addresses requests in a timely manner.
I am so glad we did the evening dinner cruise with this company 😄 The dancing group, musicians, and belly dancer were talented and put on a great performance.
Great food good service and great show definitely recommend this tour to them who want to sail and watch and enjoy the show
Wonderful experience from start to finish. The driver communicated when to be ready for pickup at our hotel and was there on time. The service on board was excellent, food was delicious and the musicians and dancers kept us entertained. The cruise was a great way to end a long day of travel for us.
Dinner was good,Excellent service from the waiter. He was very attentive, polite, friendly, and professional throughout our meal. He made sure we were comfortable and that everything was served perfectly. His excellent service made our dining experience even more enjoyable. Truly outstanding service and highly appreciated
The entertainment was great. Wasn't expecting all the different dances and the belly dancer was interesting and got the crowd involved. The food was not to my liking.
The boat cruise, the dinner and show were excellent. Absolutely worth it and a “must go” experience. The cruise offered hotel pickup. This was the worst ever and therefore giving this a 4 star. The pick up confirmation of time of pick up and manner of pick up was not provided till Noon the day of the experience. I ended up planning to go to boat directly. It was easy enough since it is close to a tram stop Kabatos. I asked for a return pickup on the bus. This information was not provided until 11:03 pm a few minutes before the boat got back to pier. I didn’t see the message. When I got out, it was extremely chaotic with a number of bus drivers holding up their bus numbers. But I didn’t know which bus to take. So, I took the tram back. And of course no one there speaks English to guide people like me. I asked for pick up instructions 20 hours before on Viator message. No one replied to it. So I would suggest skip the bus service if you are a planner like me. Go directly to pier via tram or taxi. And come back the same way.
Food was amazing. Service was amazing. Attitude of the hospitality crew from the beginning was amazing! Your was as described. The entertainment was top notch. The transportation from the hotel was top notch. The transportation from the event back to our hotel was terrible. We had to change buses mid way and that was ghetto and unprofessional.
Absolutely a highlight of our visit to Istanbul. Very good value vs. what you have to pay. Transfer, meal, cruise, entertainment and return is a bargain
The entertainment was wonderful and the food mediocre. It as very loud and somewhat hot. The drinks were weak. I’d do it again, but maybe not the same day we flew into Istanbul.
All very good, you need long sleeves for upper deck viewing areas.Food is average but the cost is low
Our dinner cruise in Istanbul was such a great experience and honestly one of the highlights of our trip! This is a wonderful activity for all ages, and everyone in our group had a fantastic time.
The food was delicious and offered a great variety, so there was truly something for everyone. And the portions were HUGE — absolutely no one left hungry! The entertainment was also excellent, with talented dancers and performances that kept the energy going throughout the evening.
And a special shoutout to the bartender because the drinks were made RIGHT! 😂🍹 They definitely knew the perfect amount of alcohol to put in them!
Between the food, drinks, entertainment, beautiful views, and overall atmosphere, it really felt like a one-of-a-kind Istanbul experience. I would absolutely do this cruise again and highly recommend adding it to your itinerary!
Great trip , honestly we were very impressed with the boat , crew , food and entertainment, even the drink prices were reasonable. The food alone was worth the ticket , one of the best deals in Istanbul, 1 tram ride from Sultan Amet , so very easy. Fantastic
Food was OK, shows were OK. Overall it was OK no wow factors. My son was bored and fell asleep at our table.
Also to be fair if with a lively group might have been a better experience.
Waiters was great and attentive.
We got the deluxe package with alcohol and hotel pickup. Pickup time window had us waiting about a hour. Got to the boat and directed to the wrong one of 3. Waited on that line 10 min before being re-directed to right boat. Not impressed. No whirling dervish or flamenco. Waiters were great, but couldn’t hear them over the constantly too loud music. Food just Ok and way too much. Entertainment meh. Sightseeing was terrific. Hard to find driver for return.
Take a Bospherus cruise and get dinner and entertainment elsewhere.
Excellent dinner cruise with various entertainment that was performed throughout the cruise! The waiters were attentive and friendly. It was very convenient to have us picked up and brought back to our hotel after the cruise.
If opting for the provided transfer, read the details carefully. There is a maximum of a 90 minute window for pickup from the Nidya Hotel to the boat.
More food than you can eat. Lots of live entertainment. Nice cruise towards the Black Sea. Cruise was about two hours. We enjoyed the harbor lights. All ages aboard. Nice yacht. Very safe. Attentive wait staff.
Food adequate entertainment good and staff very attentive. Good value for money and seeing Istanbul lit up at night was magical. Getting on and off the boat was very efficient.
Good experience, good food and awesome entertainment. The only downside is the boat was too warm inside. Could’ve been better with good aircon.
Cruise was as described. Dinner was as expected- standard fare. Overall the trip was fun and entertainment enjoyable.
Not very good value for money. Booked the vip package with drinks, the initial queue was chaos some vip guests stayed in line others were invited to the front., didnt set off until after 9pm. food was not great most people dindnt eat the meze as it looked like it had been sat for an hour. main course was chicken or fish this was better but not what i would call good food. dessert was a platter of fruit some edible and others too hard to eat. Dont bother with the drinks package as its not worth the cost. Service is slow and probabl had the equivelent of half bottle of cheap wine as the measures are small. Finally avoid the photos, they took approx 10 photos which in fairness were good quality, however when it came to price they wanted 120 euros which was nearly as much as the trip. When you refuse to purchase you get the usually threatening gesures in the background. Personally I would book a cheap trip on the Bospherus just for the experience and spend the rest on a nice meal in Istanbul.
Very well organized, great service from a very attentive staff. Enormous amount of food, wonderful entertainment. Definitely worth it.
