There was nothing luxury about this cruise. Pickup was supposed to be 7:30-8 pm, but car arrived only at 8:20 pm, and I was not the last on that route. We arrived to the boat only at 9 pm. «group size 100 people” in tour description is a lie, there were way more people, it was a big 2 deck boat. Food was mediocre, entertainment - maybe 3-4 folk dances, 1 ballroom dance and the rest was belly dancer dancing at tables for tips.

We did enjoy the dinner cruise and the dancing. The food was OK, the service was good. Our waiter, Manilli brought me a vegetarian meal on request - falafel, which was lovely.
It's a shame that he & the manager stood over us when they brought the drinks bill, staring at my husband as he sorted our cash. Very intrusive and quite unnecessary. Did they they think we were going to swim for it?
This dinner cruise and show actually went a long way to cheering me up after our disastrous journey to catch the boat.
We had been given the details of departure from one port. We arrived quite early. We found the meeting place and the rep who said the boat would be along later. A boat did arrive, we got on, showed our ticket and were told it was not that boat and we had to go to a different port altogether. I didn't believe it, because the details I had saved on a pdf on my phone said we were correct, but eventually we headed to the other port. We are a bit older, we don't have the kind of full on phone deal that gives us access to calls and data on the move in a different country.
We arrived at the other port, asked one person, "not this boat, over there", then again, then, trying to hurry in the dark. I tripped and fell flat on my face. I thought my phone just had a cracked screen, but it transpired the device with everything on was not going to work again. As you can imagine, I was very shaken up and it affected my enjoyment of the evening.
I contacted Viator. They said the location was changed by the boat company. OK. They said they had sent a WhatsApp. I never received a WhatsApp. They said we should have contacted them at the time, but didn't. So as far as they're concerned, it seems to be my fault. I did respond to this message but have received no further reply.
I want them to acknowledge that changes and lack of information have consequences, but I don't think they care.

The cruise was so much more than we expected. The entertainment was fabulous, it was really non stop lively entertainment. My personal opinion was that the food could’ve been better, was a bit bland for my spicy tastes, however there was more than enough food.
Giuliana_I, Aug 2023
Amazing show, food, and atmosphere! My friend and I booked this cruise and we had so much fun. The services were excellent they took care of everything!
Natalia_R, Apr 2023
Everything was amazing, I've loved the show and people are very friendly, great service can't complain. The only thing is be careful as I booked the tickets with alcohol including but they told me is not included. So I had to pay for the drinks which are very expensive. Make sure you have money with you. I will request
Shanine_V, Aug 2022
This tour ticked all the boxes! The hotel pick-up was on time, the food was generous and tasty, our waiter (Mehmed) was super and very attentive, the entertainment was fun with a variety of dances, and the entertainers created a great mood when they got everyone dancing! They also had photographers on board that took lovely pictures to remember the evening by. We particularly liked having a private table.
We definitely got our money's worth and highly recommend it for travellers.
KHALID_P, Jul 2022
Very good experience with this wonderful night. Next time I will be with friends thay will come from uk.
ryan_c, Dec 2021
i enjoyed the dervish dances and the main entertainer, the food was average, but the view was spectacular even at night, we spontaneously broke out into a party on the boat
Eman_M, Dec 2021
You get what you pay for. For 30€, you do get dinner, belly dancers and a complete show. this trip is nice to get to know other people and soicalize, widen your scope a little bit. The sitting took us by surprise, because we expected a normal restuarant sitting but this was more cram every one together which is where the socializing comes in. As the night goes on it really becomes magical, the sights are beautiful and depending on the weather it is possible to really enjoy your night up on the docks.
I would recommend this trip for anyone looking to spend time with family, friends or anything. a large group can benefit more, if it is possible to get a whole table it will simply be the best.
AKM_K, Dec 2021
Food was poor in quality and quantity. But drinks was unlimited. They were delayed by 35/40 mins to start which was annoying.
Response from Host, Dec 2021
They were delayed by 35/40 mins to start which was annoying.( There are sometimes heavy traffic in İstanbul so the boat can sail 30 - 40 mins later but we are serving drinks and cold starters at that time and the music is on also .
In every cruise same food is serving in my opinion for 30 usd Transportation from to hotels ... Dinner ... Unlimited soft drinks .... Show programs and Bosphorus cruise is FAİR .
Anyway thank you for your revew .
debra_s, Oct 2021
The price for this activity is very reasonable for someone from the US. So, as long as you remember that, you will not be disappointed. Expect to get what you are paying for, mass produced banquet food and drinks on a boat. The show is really just a few dancers that move between the two levels of the boat and dance. There is about 6 dances that are performed throughout the evening. That part was unexpected. I was looking forward to a real show that people paid attention to instead of walking around and talking through. The two things that make it unpleasant are the over an hour drive to get to the pier and the smoke. Everyone smokes here, so it wasn't really a surprise, but the smoke was overwhelming at some point and we had to spend the rest of the evening outside on the deck. Although, it didn't deter the waiter from finding us and letting us know his tip was above the tip we left on the table and wait for us to give him some money.

Overall The Experience was worth investing time and money. It was amazing.
Only the food was averge.
Michael_A, Apr 2021
We booked a 4 hour plus Istanbul Luxury Bosphorus Dinner Cruise. They put us on a very old tourist ship, nothing luxurious about it. Dinner you can choose from some strange fish, chicken legs and meat balls. The trip was about 90 minutes, and the shows was not nice at all.
Next to this boat you have something similar but with a Arabic theme - they have better food, better shows, to a better price. This trip was a waste of time and money. I would have liked to give them one star, but give them one extra star because of their staff and the hotel shuttle.
Abdula_B, Mar 2021
Very nice! Good service
good mood. The food is good. beautiful belly dancer. put on a good show. it's worth it
Jos_C, Aug 2020
Dinner was better than expected, same than the show. We don hesitate to repeat in other trip to Istanbul.
Mohsen_K, Feb 2020
It was a great experience eating dinner in a ship and make a journey around Istanbul with unlimited drinks and very beautiful traditional dances with a perfect transporting. I really recommend it to anyone

Thank you
Priya_M, Feb 2020
Awful. Rubbish food and performance. Don’t waste your time and money. Not worth it... no one attends to you, crammed and packed. No space to even more your arm. Drinks take three attempts to ask the waiter and constant reminder.
Response from Host, Feb 2020
Hello even airport transfer is also 30 usd. Transportation from to hotel... Local alcoholic beverages and soft drinks unlimited... Dinner... Show programs.. Bosphorus cruise is Just 30 usd if you think its not worth the money you pay thank you for your review.
Hameed_H, Feb 2020
The entertainment was over the top and so was the service. Food was average, We had the fish and the meat option for the main course, the fish was good but the meat was under expectation. I recommend this trip for the overall experience and fun rather than for the food
Response from Host, Feb 2020
Thank you
Plamen_Z, Feb 2020
Amazing experience. What you get for the price is beyond 'good'. The service was very fast and polite. The food was delicious and portions big. The entertaining program was also funny and interesting. While having dinnner on a boat you can see emblematic places in Istanbul and take photos

Aleyna_T, Feb 2020
It was so wonderful to experience,
1. The food was so delicious.
2. Performances such as belly dance, traditional dance, fight shows were outstanding.
3. The cruise was best among 10-15 different companies.
4. The price was cheapest and best among all others.
5. The tour operator is really nice person (rearranged my tour for the next day as I was not able to make it on that day).
Go for this one only!

antoniajose_l, Jul 2022
Sabéis una cosa estas aplicaciones nos ayudan un montón, pero muchas veces los comentarios de muchos usuarios en vez de ayudarnos nos confunden más, os explico porque? Yo cuando quise reservar este crucero lo primero que hice fue leer los comentarios y no eran muy buenos pero quise darles un voto de confianza. Os cuento mi experiencia con esta compañía y os puedo decir que fue muy grata desde el principio, si es verdad que los entrantes eran un poco raritos, pero el resto estaba bastante bien sobre todo el pescado, la velada muy bonita y la atención de la tripulación iinmejorable, nuestro camarero un 20 perdón por él pero no recuerdo su nombre, el espectáculo también muy bonito, bueno que os puedo decir, que os dejéis llevar por vuestros impulsos y que por supuesto este crucero fue genial, para mi fue muy bueno decision hacerlo con ellos.
JuanRuben_M, Apr 2022
El conductor nos recogió al hotel con bastante antelación, al rededor de 1h antes, en el crucero el espectáculo está muy entretenido con actuaciones de varios grupos, con el paseo tienes unas vistas espectaculares, pero la cena deja mucho que desear es lo único que valoro en negativo.
Julien_B, Nov 2021
Une soirée magique, avec un personnel attentionné et très sympathique. Le spectacle en vaut le détour. Je recommande!
Ahmed_E, Aug 2021
Soirée agréable, repas délicieux , équipé serviable. Seul bémol, transport inclus mais j'ai payé le taxi . Personne ne nous a contacter ni par tel ni email .
Elisabeth_F, Mar 2020
La comida horrible, sientan a 8 personas en una mesa de 6, la música tan tan alta que no se puede ni hablar. A los 30 minutos de crucero se empañan las ventana y no puedes ver el paisaje.
No es caro, pero la publicidad que dan es engañosa
