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.

Travelers consistently praise the seamless pickup logistics and well-organized tour coordination, highlighting smooth transportation and balanced timing. The nighttime cruise offers spectacular urban and natural scenery along the Bosphorus, enhanced by lively, culturally rich performances and generous, high-quality food and beverage options. While private tables and VIP lounges improve comfort, some travelers flag cramped seating, limited outdoor space, and inadequate air conditioning. Overall, the experience is valued for its reasonable pricing and engaging atmosphere.

Beautiful yatcht, delicious food, drinks
Excellent entertainment and staff/servers
Friendly
Amazing views
It was wonderful, but we booked last minute so even with purchasing the VIP package we didn’t have a great view of the show. Our driver who picked us up and dropped us back off was very sweet. Great food, great show, great staff!
Arrange transportation food is more than enough nice entertainment on board. View is so good. Service is good too.
It was fantastic trip and whole experience was great. Service was perfect, all staff were very polite.
Delicious 3 course,Turkish dinner including alcoholic beverages. Fun, entertaining musicians and dancers. Our table was right next to the stage.
The boat is very crowded, the picking up from hotels starts one and half hour before the activity starting time ,the food was good ,the folklore show was interesting. The overall organisation was good.
Good performances, great food and very good service. It was better than we expected. Will definitely recommend.
From start to finish this tour kept us engaged in entertainment, food and scenery. It was more then worth it. The pictures and albums they sold were a bit pricey but a good souvenoir if you buy them, which everyone usually does because it's a memory. Belly Dancing with a half-naked woman; would keep your kid's eyes closed! Was fun overall; and of course everyone went dancing together at the end !
The best value and most fun thing to do in Istanbul.
Great evening. Ambiance. Food. Entertainment. Staff.
I had bought, what I thought were VIP tickets for my friend and myself. We were directed to the third floor of the boat and seated in a place, where my chair was constantly being hit against as our table was in the path of the waiters and everyone else. We were served the last. The food was below average.
Very well organised from start to finish. I booked the VIP package with alcohol included and was initially sceptical. But the crew proved me wrong. Beer and wine unlimited included. Excellent spectacle!
This dinner cruise was well organised and served very fresh and good variety of meze and dinner and has very good entertainment we were very entertained and had the best time! Thank you to our waiter who was looking after us would definitely recommend this to anyone who's interested.
great show, good food and friendly folks - great dancers and boat is big and comfortable - unlimited drinks
A relaxing evening enjoying the lit up sights along the river. We were allocated a table on the top deck which gave us easy access to the outside which was great as it was a lovely evening weather wise. Our meal was lovely although if you are vegetarian put that on your booking as were given two choices which wasn’t a problem for us(fish or meat). The entertainment was good and the waiting staff were attentive without being overly so. Bring picked up and taken back to our hotel was also helpful.
Everything was absolutely excellent! The food was delicious and generous, the show was beautiful, and the VIP lounge was very comfortable. Our table by the window was spectacular, with stunning views of the Bosphorus throughout the cruise.
The service was outstanding, and the transportation from the hotel to the boat and back was excellent, smooth, and very well organized.
A wonderful experience from beginning to end. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Istanbul!
Entry is super messy, lots of boats and queues quite confusing where you need to go. Onboard is a nice setting. The starter food was good, however the main was poor and very small as well as the dessert. Real improvements needed for those. Also the unlimited drinks isn't great, difficult to order as you have to flag down your waitor serving multiple tables. Tried getting another or ordering at the bar to be told it's not allowed. Beer option limited to only bremen which imo is not good. Not much space on the outside areas if you do want to go outside. Entertainment was okay but nothing special and can barely see half the time due to all the other people / tables.
Every thing was perfect 100/100 the show the starter was yummy the food I will rate 0/100 waiters was kind and friendly
We had a wonderful experience with Lufer! Everything was well organized, and the entire experience was enjoyable from beginning to end. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and professional, making sure everyone had a great time. At the boat service was very friendly the food was good, fresh and delicious. Our server was very nice!
We truly enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Istanbul. Booking through Viator was easy and convenient!
Easy to book, great food, fun entertainment and excellent value for money. We booked pick up and transport was on time and we were kept informed by the company throughout
Best candle light dinner with entertainment. I loved the cruise trip its facilities , would have better if food was served right as we got opposite of what we ordered.
Must try.
Beautiful night scenery of the city.
Awesome food and service.
Europe to Asia and back in 3 hours.
We had a lovely evening with lively entertainment. Very enjoyable experience from the pickup at our hotel, the food and the dancers!
It was really good. A taste of Turkish foods and a show of their culture. Would definitely recommend
It was okay just a little boring. Food was mediocre, entertainment was ??
Very impersonal, a little disappointing
This was an ok experience - I went into it thinking it was a great way to see the sites of the city from the river, but in reality it's a fun show for tourists. Not a bad thing, just not what I was expecting.
The dinner was organised well and service was great. Food was good however not great as they have to cater for a lot of people. Would recommend taking and paying for the “table by the window side” option if you are a couple. Great views. Entertainment was good.
It was a great time and I especially loved the performances. It was great to be able to try so many different foods. They give quite a few options.
So super fun. Adem was a great server. The show was good. Food was good. Bosphorus is stunning as always.
It’s a great service and a friendly worker and the vibes is fantastic
I would recommend that from friends
This was such a fun and memorable way to spend an evening in Istanbul. The Bosphorus views were beautiful, the atmosphere was lively, and having a private table made the experience feel even more comfortable and enjoyable. One of my favorite parts was the traditional dancing during dinner. The performances were so much fun to watch and really made the night stand out. It added a cultural element to the cruise that made the experience feel more special than just having dinner on the water. The staff was also very nice and helped make the evening enjoyable from start to finish. Between the food, the traditional performances, the atmosphere, and the nighttime views of Istanbul, this was a really nice experience and one I would definitely recommend.
