Bosphorus dancing

Don_M, Dec 2024
The professional dancers and then inviting the dinner guests up to dance too. The length of the boat excursion was adequate. A suggestion, you might add in the side notes which drinks are included in the comprehensive package.

A most enjoyable experience. Good entertainment. Music and Dancing Lovely sights at night. Fair food.

Tourist Trap

Raza, Aug 2020
It’s a tourist trap. Not worth it. Unless you are a fan of belly dancing the food is average. The views are great but over all not too impressive

bosphorus dinner cruise

Gopalan_N, Jan 2020
It was lovely and amazing, we all enjoyed the cruise, food was excellent, no word for the entertainment , we strongly recommend

Bosphorus Boat trip

Tautu_G, Aug 2019
The Dinner Cruise was not what I expect. The food was not so nice, the service offered was poor, waiting long between meals, we r sitting at the tables like sardines , not enough eoom to move, hard to see the show as other people came in front of out tablw to take photos. At the end staff came and asked for a tip asking if you like the show to give them some money, the tip must be included in the tickets. The driver pick us up one hour late. I really want half of the money back.

My first visit.

Dreamer64256540882, Jul 2019
The Cruise ship left the dock 45 minutes late and arrived 30 minutes earlier than the scheduled arrival meaning we lost 1:15 hour from our cruise time. The Music was incredibly loud. The Staff was very good and helpful. The Shows were very entertaining.

Best Cruise

Faith_B, Apr 2019
My husband and I really enjoyed the cruise. The food was good and the entertainment was excellent. I would recommend this cruise to anyone that is looking for a very entertaining cruise.

Lerato P, Jul 2016
If you want any information about Istanbul or the places you'll be passing by on the cruise as part of your tour don't do this tour. It was a dinner cruise with entertainment which was alright. We passed a lot of majestic places but have no clue what they were or their history so a bit disappointed.

Birgit Z, May 2016
The service was very low. We got the dessert but the took it away about 10 min later, so because I was having a break outside, its was gone when I came to my table again. The pick up call the hotel and told they where on their way... But it took 2 hours more. I was sitting at the reception and waiting.... Boring

Experiencia inolvidable

Maite_A, Aug 2019
En la visita a Estambul , este crucero sobre todo nocturno, no debe faltar, la iluminacion de todo lo que se puede ver es Espectacular,

Insatisfactoria

Gisaku_K, Jun 2019
Los conductores del transfer del hotel al puerto hablan permanentemente por celular. La cena de muy bajo nivel, el aire acondicionado no funcionó y nadie se hizo cargo. Un desastre. Lo único rescatable el gran profesionalismo y calidad del espectáculo ofrecido. No lo recomendaría.

Wunderschöne nacht
