    Amjad_T, Jul 2026
    Bad experience, ticket from this site is a scam , it’s better to go as walk in customer and purchase the tickets onboard ,, I booked privet dinner with unlimited drinks,, but once onboard they said we don’t have such a thing

    Response from Host, Jul 2026

    Dear Guest, We’re sorry to hear that you were disappointed. Your reservation was made only about one hour before departure, and our scheduled boat was already fully booked. Before your tour, we informed you of this and offered two options: join our partner boat with its stated inclusions (including 2 complimentary local alcoholic drinks) or receive a 100% refund. You immediately chose to accept the partner boat. Even so, our team provided additional complimentary hospitality onboard to make your evening more enjoyable. We always explain any changes in advance and let our guests decide before the tour begins. We wish you all the best in your future travels.

    Dinner harbor cruise

    The food is not great nor the wine. The experience of meeting new people was the best. The harbor is beautiful at night. The blonde dancer was good.

    They did not pick me up! They stopped responding when i said it was getting too late. I reported to Viator that i wanted a refund, and suddenly they are asking to rebook.

    Overall, it was a great experience. The views of the bridge are amazing. The food was interesting but good. The dancing was really great. The music got to be alittle loud after a while. The pick up time was a bit messy. We were told one time and then it changed at the last minute.

    A bit overrated.

    The hotel pickup was late for an hour, we waited under the snow for an hour. The boat supposed to leave the port by 8:45pm, but it departed at 9:30pm. Some of the passengers left the boat after waiting for long time. However, the performances onboard are awesome.

    Response from Host, Jun 2022

    Snow was not expected in Istanbul and everything was mixed.I apologize again for any inconvenience this caused you. It was a pleasure to hear that you enjoyed. I wish you the best!

    Poor explaination

    Hamza_A, Mar 2020
    I was expecting a table of 2 not to sit in a group of people, they should’ve made it clear, almost everyone was surprised to see that.

    Response from Host, Mar 2020

    Lovely night on a boat!

    Lovely live show and gorgeous meal! We really enjoyed our experience. We were collected from our hotel and brought back to the hotel after the show. It was a very relaxing cruise, beautiful music and romantic atmosphere, great service and wonderful performance. Highly recommend this.

    Non stop entertainment!
