Nice dinner cruise seeing bridge and both sides of the shores with good quality courses of food that evening.
William_N, Apr 2026
Very convenient. Takes a worry out of arriving at your destination. We have used the service in a few countries and were very pleased with it.
Michelle_C, Apr 2026
A great experience. Good food. Wonderful views. Music was a little loud but fun overall. In a protected area so water was nice.
Vanessa_S, Apr 2026
Food was not good. It was very crowded with lots of people. We could hardly see the outside views as we were sat in the middle.
Only good thing was the service was very nice and helpful.
Yanique_W, Apr 2026
It was entertaining and food was good.
Would recommend it to anyone.
The traditional dances was fun to watch.
CONSTANCE_W, Apr 2026
Entertainment was amateurish. Food was okay, just average. Unlimited soft drinks but no one was refilling them. Server was hard to find.
Pankaj_B, Apr 2026
Not great service. Food served was cold, seating was not great even if you book as VIP . Do not get clear view of entertainment .
Francesco_T, Apr 2026
A well organised boat tour, with good entertainment and fair meal.

The overall experience is good, entertainment is amazing. Food options can be improved. The over all time spend was decent.
Marie_c, Apr 2026
Super crowded and food was mediocre. More aimed at the average tourist. Quite difficult to see any sights unless you try and make you way outside through tight table settings

Food was very good and show was entertaining. Nice to see the buildings along the shore lit up at night . Only down side was the transport was late and only had 1 seat left so my husband had to stand on the way to yacht . Return trip was fine with fast loading and drop off to our hotel . Highly recommend for the price . Very reasonable

Linda_S, Mar 2026
The Transfer was on time, the cruise was great, some lovely sights. Dinner and show were all very good. Worth the money we paid.
Onyinyechukwu_A, Mar 2026
Great experience, Tasty food, interesting shows during the cruise. Highly recommend. I would not recommend doing the pick-up service as an uber can conveniently get you to the location and you control when you get there and when you leave after the event. Uber from the park Hyatt where we stayed was less than $8 each way. Ulas our server was fantastic. They charge extra to sit by the window, when i purchased via viator, i didn't see that option likely as I booked few hours to the event. Tables are randomly assigned except you paid about 10 euros per person to sit by the window- again i didn't have that option when booking but they apparently contacted me through whatsapp informing me of that additional fees if i wanted window sitting. The photos which their photographers take are 7 euros each. You can and should negotiate lower depending on the number of photos you have .
Toyemi_O, Mar 2026
It was too long. It was supposed to be 3 hours. The ambience was very nice. I would have preferred if we did it during the day. We couldn't see any of the landmarks. The food was not just there.
Brian_S, Mar 2026
Two ships in a gas station on the river near end of tram line, be wary of taxis they are dishonest. Food ok seating poor as you cant see performances unless you are in a lucky spot
LuisF_S, Mar 2026
The boat, dinner and show was very pleasant
From the moment that I was picked up from my hotel, arrived to the boat, accomodation and inside service was fantastic
Had a good time. I recommend this tour operator for future visitors
Luiza_S, Mar 2026
The scenery is nice but the food is not that great. If you like boat rides and just want to enjoy the views then it will be a good experience. Don’t expect fine dinning though.
VANESSA_S, Mar 2026
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!

Nice big boat, good food and fun dancers coming out throughout the whole cruise. Our server HASAN was AMAZING always making sure we were good and had everything we needed.
Ramon_C, Mar 2026
