This was one of the most fun activities of my trip to Turkey. The dinner was nice, but the entertainment was awesome. They did traditional dances and then worked to involve the audience. I really like that the management kept people from standing and blocking other peoples view of the stage.

Disgusting

Asim_H, Sep 2023
Absolute filth! There was alcohol served, nudity, loud music and men acting like wild dogs in heat. This is not a environment for the classy and is not appropriate for families or children as it advises in the description. Please avoid booking as it is not what you expect it to be.

See Turkish city lights and folk dances

This was a very good dinner, with very good service. I recommend the fish dinner, which was excellent, rather than the mixed grill. The appetizer plate was also very good with a very fresh vegetable salad. They provided transfer from our hotel to the boat, but it was still quite a walk with our canes. The cruise was very smooth and seeing Istanbul at night, with all the lights was magnificent. The dancers were great, performing traditional folk dances from different regions of Turkey. We would have liked some narratives , though, as to these regions, as well as what each different dance and movement represented. For example, we had read about the Whirling Dervishes, so we knew that it is a very old tradition with much religious significance, along with meaningful hand positions. But, none of this was explained or narrated about any of the dances, which explanations would raise this activity to a must do, 5 star rating. Be that as it me we highly recommend this activity, especially with its very reasonable price!!

Great customer service- Tolga

Tour operator was very helpful with quick communication after I missed pickup(due to traffic in Istanbul) so that I was able to get on boat before departure.
