If you wish to experience some of Istanbul’s sights don’t go. On board you could be anywhere, inside a hotel or any port in the world. As you sailed there was no attempt to inform where sites were. Entertainers could not be clearly seen on the 4 screens as the lighting on the entertainers bleached out their on screen exposure.
The experience on the ship was very good. Everything was comfortable, and I really enjoyed the trip.
I reserved private table in dinner cruise night in istanbul but they gave me public table at first. After too many complaining about it, qthey gave me a private table but the people who picked me up and was in charge of reservation just told me it’s your own problem and the fact that you reserved private table (which was clearly mentioned in my voucher) doesn’t make any sense, therefore you should call tripadvisor. HOW CAN I USE PUBLIC TABLE WITH A 3 YEARS OLD CHILD?? my first & last experience with tripadvisor !! Didn’t expect that at all.
Great boat, good food, entertaining. An excellent way to see the city from the water at night!
The food was great and the entertainment wonderful. The city looks beautiful by night from the water
Food needs upgrade, none of the sector was good, little too much woman belly dance for the family. Overall not happy. Shuttle pick up was a little too much.
DO NOT BOOK WITH VIATOR, THEY CANNOT HELP WITH WRONG DATES. I've always had good experiences with Viator in the past, but have one wrong date and they refuse to help nor escalate the problem.
We were picked up from hotel before the stated time, and then went around many other hotels picking up other guests. We got to the boat and were shown to a lovely table for two with a window seat. The entertainment started almost immediately and lasted over the whole trip. The food was ok, but not gourmet. Overall a fun evening.
A fantastic experience that’s hard to forget, which I shared with my mom, with a guide who was always available and excellent value for money.
Perfect night out. Everyone was well organised, staff is very friendly. The show was amazing. We had an unforgettable experience. Really worth it to money. Highly recommended.Thank you guys.
It was amazing experience.We are so happy choosing right company as there are so many companies operating, but finding perfect one is very hard.We are so lucky we found them.It was perfectly organized trip with great staff and perfect show.Thanks so much
When we boarded the boat I thought "wow this is nice". The person that greeted us was friendly and the dining area was nice. Then it all changed. The singer was so loud it was actually painful with 4 large speaker cabinets facing people. I asked the singer who also had the audio controls to turn it down because it was actually causing pain. He said to wait only 5 minutes and it would be turned down. THAT NEVER HAPPENED! During the entire Cruise the music was painfully loud and got even louder. I had to put my fingers in my ears. I downloaded a decibel meter during dinner and recorded 105 db peaks and a very high db average. Thus can cause instant danage to hearing! We all had to go up on the ship to get away from it and the smoke they had blowing on us and thethe performers. The food seemed good but was served luke warm at best and the free soft drinks were also warm and hard to come by. The glass was maybe 6 ounces tops and took us 45 minutes to get a refill. We were treated as if we were not there. I would never want to have an experience like this again. We were totally disrespected.
Entertainment was fairly good. On a cruise like this I was expecting upbeat music and dancing. Instead, most of the entertainment was very somber, almost religious! We were promised a private table (7 of us), but received the end seats on a very long table. When I mentioned this to the host seating us, the response was a very rude "Take it up with my manager!"
I wasn’t sure what to expect, as this was a new experience listed on Viator with no previous reviews—but it did not disappoint. Communication with the operator before the cruise was excellent. They reached out via WhatsApp, and any queries I had were resolved quickly and professionally. The boat, Amor, had a luxurious feel and three levels. The lowest deck was set up for dining and entertainment, while the two upper levels offered panoramic views of the Bosphorus by night. We were seated at a window-side table, not far from the stage which was perfect! Dinner began with freshly baked bread, mezze sauces, and a side salad. The main course was a kebab, and dessert was a refreshing plate of fruit. A photographer made rounds during the evening, offering photos available to purchase toward the end of the night. The entertainment was genuinely impressive. The folk dancing and the whirling dervish performance were absolutely mesmerising. The dancers had great energy and stamina throughout. The night ended with a saxophonist who got all the guests and dancers on their feet to end the night with some dancing. Overall, I couldn’t have asked for a better experience, and the price felt like fantastic value. Our ticket included two alcoholic drinks per person, plus hotel pick-up and drop-off. I would definitely recommend this experience!
The person who welcomed us at the meeting point should have informed us that we would not disembark at the same location. We are foreigners. This is not our language, and it was difficult to return to our hotel. He also did not tell us that he would not stay with us on the boat.
The prrosnale was really kind, helpful and attentive to our requests all the time Excellent organization
Entertainment offer was plentiful Dancers and music as described I find great . Everyone was very friendly but that was it. Rip-off is that photos are taken and an album costs 50€ . Clear recommendation is act until it can no longer be done . Supposedly 4 course menu I only had 3 course menu . 1.Appetizer already prepared as (Mezza) 2.Main course in my case fish that was the worst fish I ate or got served in Turkey. bones and of very poor quality. See photo 3. A sweet dessert on consistency of a semolina pampe without taste and any quality. It is served with a Turkish tea that did not even taste like tea. Due to the low price offer, the demands should clearly not be too high . Oh yes rip off is also for a glass of wine 10 euros to charge which has nothing to do with Qualitative wines . On the whole, such trips are very ok from the ride. But an insult to Turkey . Turkey has a lot more to do with food. Watch out for such guides who suck up to tourists . They run from table to table to make contacts to get information about their whereabouts to provide further offers for their trip that are inferior . There should always be one who can speak Turkish to avoid such problems. When you get off you are greeted at a gas station full of street beggars and street musicians asking for money. The state should intervene to protect tourists and ensure a pleasant stay in Istanbul or in Turkey in general. Turkey has been really struggling in terms of image for the last two years. It is a beautiful country it has a lot of positive things to offer . But such trips should be strictly controlled to avoid such critical reviews. I will therefore no longer go on such a ship to eat. Leiber before eating something in the district Beşiktaş which is very well known for its diversity and European looks than Europe itself .
Although we had booked without too many expectations, it was a real surprise in positive. Good organization and magnificent show, from more traditional dances to current music that leads the audience to dance super lively at the end of the night. And all in a beautiful setting with illuminated İstanbul and spectacular views. Highly recommended!!!
Excellent walk, our guide Ergun very attentive with us. A highly recommended experience. Punctual and very rich food
Very well organized activity with personalized and very complete attention. Good Dinner Excellent Show and Plenty Mood During Crossing
It is absolutely wonderful, an unforgettable night, with delicious food, first-rate shows that will make you spend a magical and unforgettable night, THANKS FOR THIS TURKISH NIGHT!!!!
