Bosphorus Dinner Cruise And Turkish Night Show With Private Table

Was nice enjoyed the evening food starters could of been better you got 1 chicken nugget an 1 mozzarella cheese stick which made me laugh but all in all was a good experience

Lovely evening, very happy I booked this tour. It was so well organized, from the hotel pick up, to the meal service and the entertainment. Food was lovely. Views were stunning. Weather was perfect.

Only and only the view was amazing. Food and all other stuff was just below average. There was no rumi performance. The pick and drop service was amazing. Food was ok. It is only the view to be honest.

Overall was a nice experience, but I personally prefer a more private experience for a couple, not long tables like in Kusturica wedding movies, maybe is fine for big groups. Food was average, nothing wow, but sufficient. Entertainment was nice, but visibility to the show depends where you sitting. waitress force a bit the tips culture, transform it in must do. Included Pick up and drop off service was a good thing too.

Views from upper deck of both side of streight was great. Authentic dances were great also. Picked up and dropped at hotel

An amazing experience. Food was good. Drinks are unlimited. Free pick up and drop off was perfect. Nice entertainment. Definitely recommend it.

The overall experience was not great for price paid. We paid for a VIP private table, which was at the front, however it was right under the speaker, which was very , very loud and left us feeling deaf at the end of the night . Food was served at different times, I ordered fish, which came first, however my partner ordered Chicken which came after I had finished , apparently this is the norm so be prepared.Drinks were all-inclusive and waiter service as part of our price, and generally were on the warm side

Very organised and nice service, pick and drop facility,food and drinks all very good. Truly and good experience.

Excellent experience, they picked us up on time at the hotel and dropped us as well. Same boat, same show for half the price with trip advisor/aviator. We paid $26 and usually is $50-$60

It was nice experiene, performers performed their show ans staff was very nice. Only they shut off lights of top deck which was not good for viewing and photography at night.

This was an Unorganized event. Very small tables and tiny chairs for too many people. It was very crowded. We had to go to the open area to get fresh air and missed many parts of the show because it was too crowded and hot. I wouldn’t recommend it. Don’t waste your time and money.

Was a fun night with great dance. Dj played music from my country was thoughtful of him to play music based on the country of their guests

The show was great and we had a very good time, the dancers did a good job of motivating the guests. The food was decent but there is room for improvement.

Nice show while cruising on the Bosphorus. Dinner was delicious and service very good. Two downsides only: 1. The starters were already there when we arrived and we moved seats with others so quite inappropriate eating from a plate that was on the table already. 2. During some shows people on the front table started to stand up so no one could see behind

Was given no good service, was made to sit so far back couldn't see much of the entertainment. Was only money making photographers kept coming to take photos. Not that good entertainment. So upset after we left. Pick up/drop off was good nice driver

The process of booking the trip was ok. It says that they offer hotel pickup from certain hotels but to check the checkout page for a list of hotels (I could not find this list and had to call trip advisor for them to tell me which hotels were covered). A very important thing for was wheelchair accessibility and it is listed as wheelchair accessible but IT IS NOT. There are 3 very big steps to get onto the boat and we were seated in a strategically poor spot far from the restroom so my father had to cross the dancefloor to get to the bathroom. Additionally, in order to see the show you will need to argue a bit because people will get up and block the way. And despite the staff telling people to sit, they did not listen. The show was beautiful and the duration of the cruise was nice. Did not feel rushed. Food was mediocre, as good as you can expect with a dinner and show cruise. The wheelchair accessibility is an issue for me. And they said they were going to send a small shuttle van to pick us up(which would involve multiple steps, again NOT WHEELCHAIR ACCESSIBLE) or if we needed a private car it would be an upcharge of 30$. A bit disappointed with the handicap accessibility but otherwise worth the money.

It was a good experience, beautiful nice views, staff was helpful and shows were entertaining. We enjoyed this cruise trip. Food was ok, free soft drinks/tea and desert was nice. I would recommend this trip.

I booked on the same day and they confirmed immediately. They have pick up and drop off as long as you are near. The Bosphorus tour was amazing. The food, the show. Spectacular.The driver ( I forgot to ask his name) is very lovely. I appreciate him a lot. As I am the only one who is in the tour, he dropped me off first as we finished at 12 am. Thank you so much! Everything is organised.

Great atmosphere, nice people, good food, awesome dancers, had fun! Overall great value for money. Will do again if I come back to Istanbul.

The cruise experience was very nice! The show was great and very entertaining. The food was delicious

Pros - Amazing view , Great Boats , wonderful customer Service. Drinks service, Entertainment was engaging Cons - Food was lacklustre & Small portioned Overall great had a great time , would highly recommend especially for groups

Great experience, very nice boat, all the staff is very kind, nice food, you don't have to pay any extra (unless of course you want to tip and you more likely will want to) and you spend 4 super fun hours at Istambul

The vibes and energy was very fun. The night views of Istanbul were mesmerising. However this particular cruise may not be for young children as they did get bored at times. It was a very fun and entertaining for us adults. Food and service was good. If I could as for any improvement it would be that entertainers maybe move around the boat a bit or perform in an area that it’s visible for everyone. We were sat at one end and did not get to see much of the performances. Over the experience was great and would definitely recommend.

It’s a great experience with nice entertaining program. The provided customer support and back and forth shuttle was very convenient. I definitely recommend it but I suggest you resist purchasing your photos taken on the ship as we couldn’t 😉

The pickup and drop off in a nice van, the dinner was alright, I did not expect a big feast either, I think it was reasonable. The show is fantastic. The music is great and so is the dance floor. The environment is laid back and everyone just wants to enjoy the music and dance. The only down side I saw was people standing up in front of us around the performance area and simply wont let you see. I recommend the staff to be more strict on this matter otherwise you wont see much but other people's backs in front of you. Overall great time!

Everything was perfect,from transport to food,from vibes and staff to food.Really recommend it,wont’t be dissapointed.

In total it was ok. Transportation from/to hotel, nice entertainment program, nice views. Food could be better......

We had high hopes for the cruise due to many good reviews. But the reality was very different. If you book a cruise with alcohol, you will be seated in the back with no visibility of the show, as the best seats were reserved for people with non-alcoholic cruise. We were the first to arrive and still got seated in one of the worst places in the ship, where it was impossible to see the show. The show itself would have been good, if we had actually seen more of it. First, many customers rushed right in front of the performance and blocked the view of most other customers. The waiters made them sit on their place. Then, everytime one of the show numbers began, the waiters rushed to serve dishes or collect the plates and this meant that the waiters were standing directly in the way of the view towards the show and blocking everyone from seeing the show (see picture). The waiters obviously had no training as they were not able to tell by the position of my utensils, whether I am finished or not, so they kept disturbing me during the show constantly asking if I am finished yet or not, so I couldn’t just concentrate on enjoying the show. Really bad service. The only time the dancer was closer to our table during the whole evening, the waiters rushed to our table and all I could see of the performer was the waiter’s sleeves. Do they do this on purpose to ruin the experience completely? When the show was not in progress, the waiters were nowhere to be seen. The starters looked very good and promising, but the rest of the cuisine was very bad. The main course was very disappointing both visually and flavour-wise and the promised “ fruit mix salad dessert” only consisted of 1 slice of watermelon and 1 slice of honey melon (see picture). The alcohol selection was small and didn’t include even beer or cider, only wines and raki. Please, re-organize your cruise and the timing: Make the waiters serve the cuisine and pick up the plates when the show is not in progress. There is plenty of time for them to do that and not ruin the chance of seeing the show for customers. Teach the waiters to know when the customer is finished based on the position of their utensils to avoid unnecessary disturbances. Positive: The city is very beautiful at night, so the route of this cruise gives the opportunity to enjoy great sea views at night.

It started off a bit slow but towards the Middle of the show it began to warm up and by the end of the show everyone was dancing. The food was very tasty but the service was a bit on the slower side

The appetizers was so beautiful! The food very good and the beverages came a lot and delicious!!! Beautiful boat, dances and dancers... The best price!!! I Certainly recommend it!

Pros: pick up and drop off from hotel, excellent service from waiters especially Celil (seriously amazing waiter refilling drinks constantly and very responsive), can pay a little extra for unlimited drinks, belly dancer at the end was very talented as well as the male dancers Cons: It's hard to enjoy this as a solo traveler and as well very difficult to see the performance depending on where you get sat, not the best layout, food quality wasn't as good as I was hoping, I had the fish and it came with literally 3 french fries and a piece of lettuce Overall I'd still consider going if you want a fun night with your friends/family and can be sure to sit in a good spot.

From the beginning the host was fastly reply my whatsapp and the driver also come on time. It was perfect service they pick up and send you to your hotel safely and on time.In the cruise it is just perfect with the performance and everything was good. I just love it , Thank you so much ❤️

The Bhosphorous Night cruise was a great experience. Though we were picked up a little late for the same but a special mention of “Ali” - our pickup co-ordinator is a must. Not only did he kept us informed but also ensured that we’re dropped as committed since we were unable to locate the bus. He was courteous and charming. As for the cruise experience - it’s highly recommended. The three course meal was sumptuous, the performances were outstanding and the service was great.

Our hotel pickup and dropoff was perfect - on time and friendly. Positives for the cruise were a nice amount of food and drink, great night views of Istanbul and the Bosphorus, and enthusiastic, attractive dancers. Negatives were the amount of people packed in to the tables. There was almost no room to raise your arms to put food in your mouth (only a slight exaggeration). The last hour was a lot of very lively Turkish dance music in the main room with the young people looking like they were having a great time. All in all, we had a nice time and appreciated the pickup and dropoff.

I booked the Bosphore cruise with diner and show for the night of September 1 at 09:00 PM for two. I Had the hotel pick up confirmed and was impossible to reach the tour operator on the local phone listed on the Voucher to indicate the hotel and address. I finally reached the operator thru the website but too late to take the cruise and requested the rescheduling. No reply so far

First, the booking process was a bit fishy since it was mentioning the name of an agency called "The Standard" with upside down font, a bit weird, also, though clearly written hotel pick-up and drop-off are included there, was no way to indicate the hotel address. Luckily we eventually got in contact with the agency via WhatsApp and Viator's own chat and agreed on how and when are we going to be picked up. Another thing I was clueless about was the type and name of the boat. Around 20:00-21:00 at Kabatas docks there are dozens of similar tourists boats, luckily ours was a pretty good looking one - Queen Tours. Large, yet still crowded so don't expect to be alone on that boat. Trip was awesome, we got up to the second bridge on Bosphorus and back, the boat trip itself lasted exactly 2 hours. During the trip few meal courses were served accompanied by different entertainment shows with traditional and not so traditional dances (music a bit too loud btw). Food was quite average, salad, some mezes, a choice of kofte, chicken or fish, a slice of peach and one piece of baklava, don't expect much, neither from portions size nor taste-wise. PS: maybe leave your kids at home, it will better for you and the kids as well

Very weak dinner and shows Only the Bosphorus saves it We went up to the deck and barely even ate dinner Very well-traveled

Beautiful experience an unforgettable evening. Romantic and personal atmosphere extremely available. Food good characteristic show with typical dance

If I could I would have lowered a lifeboat and rowed away. Delayed parties x wait 4 guests, dj set inside with bad music at an absurd volume. You could choose between fish, meat and chicken : I had a possum. Our fault that we should have understood that it was a Filini organization-style evening. In order not to miss anything, the disco even started on the way back. Friendly and polite staff, excellent dancers.

Le prestataire n’est pas venu, il nous a complètement oublié alors qu’il devait venir nous chercher à l’hôtel nous l’avons attendu jusqu’à 20h45

Very good experience, nice cruise with food and drink included, and the impressive show, I just want to say to the organizer that the show must be organized in such a way that everyone saw not only those in the middle, those on the other end sees nothing, those who dance has to walk from one end to another for everyone to see! The rest good food, attentive and friendly staff, pick up and return to hotel all very well! I would definitely repeat it!

La cena era sencilla, con te trastes típicos turcos y el segundo a elegir entre pollo o pescado, también había baklaba de postre. Todo bastante rico. Las vistas eran geniales y el personal muy amable. Los bailes eran cortos pero te permitía conocer una parte de la cultura.

It was such a fun experience! It was a lot of fun to see traditional dances and everyone patted them! The problem was that the drinks came out late, but the experience was even more enjoyable!

Super lively, good local meal, attentive staff, great immersion in Turkish culture, as well as great views of Rio! Very good!!

Everything was very beautiful, the panoramic view, the shows, the waiters and the food. the commitment of the two "pick up and drop off" staff at the hotel is to be appreciated. small note: not even a hint of driving in Italian, but that's it.

very organised, the transfer was very punctual and even warned us that we were 5 minutes late, the driver came to pick us up directly from the hotel reception to take us back to the same point. we had fun, variety of wonderful signature shows and excellent staff

La cena muy buena y el show increíble, incluyendo el baile final de todos los asistentes. Las vistas desde el barco eran fantásticas. Lo único malo fue la organización de la recogida al hotel, pues estuvimos esperando media hora y nadie contestaba los mensajes ni venían a recogernos, así que al final tuvimos que coger un taxi para llegar al puerto si no queríamos perder el barco. Por lo meno sì que nos llevaron de vuelta al hotel.

A magical experience on the Bosphorus. Really excellent organization from pick up to return. Also available to move during the day due to bad weather. Complete dinner with appetizer, main dish, dessert and drinks. Really interesting shows plus a characteristic Turkish dance and finally the belly dance. And then a ship with large side walkways and an upper deck where you can admire the evening spectacle of the illuminated Bosphorus in complete tranquility. Absolutely worth trying.

Just got back. Beautiful evening. Well organized and fun. A moment after booking I received a WhatsApp message saying what time they would pick me up at the hotel. Punctual. They came by with a minibus and took us directly to the boat, which was also beautiful. The appetizers were waiting for us on the table. The dancers accompanied us throughout the evening with typical dances. The dishes were good and the staff were very, very patient with customers who knew how to be...demanding.
