Istanbul Bosphorus Dinner Cruise With Turkish Night Show

Worst experience & unfriendly service only few fornt tables can see show other guest money wasted shouldn’t pay only food & boat ride

It's a great experience to enjoy the night. You have dinner and small shows thoughtout the ride. Don't expect to see the sunset. It's starts at 20:30 and you don't leave the dock before 21:00. If I could leave a suggestion is to start the cruise an hour early or even at 19h to enjoy the sunset. Try to have money with you, it is expected to tip the performers and staff.

If I could give them 10 stars, I would. The people running the tour went above and beyond to accommodate me and my wheelchair. Kindest, friendliest people I have met yet. Fun adventure with a beautiful show. I cannot recommend this more.

Unfortunately cannot recommend this night river tour. Of course the nature beauty from the boat is beautiful but that’s where the joy ends. The food - atrocious. The music - thumping. The “entertainment “ - ok. But when the belly dancer worked her way around the room expecting tips in her bra that was it. Zero air in the room so it quickly became a hot, humid disgusting environment. We ended up having to leave the room and sit in the cold upstairs.

Worst Experience and Staff is non cooperative and have high attitude and not listening to guest - Dont book with this company

Very bad experience. Avoid this boat, as the food is disgusting, and the staff are unfriendly toward tourists. Don’t waste your money on this experience. You can take photos of the Bosphorus from many other restaurants or public places.

We had lovely time on our dinner cruise thanx to sef Ahmed and our new friend Resat who took really good care of us! Definitely recommended

Such a good time. The service and the food were excellent! The show was also very entertaining. Highly recommend!

Very friendly staff and food and entertainment was good. Our Waiter was 5 Stars. Very great service. We will go back when we return to Istanbul.

We booked the Pereme Dinner Cruise through our hotels front desk for €150, but the experience was very disappointing. We were told we would be picked up directly from the hotel, but instead we were instructed to walk two blocks in the rain to meet the shuttle at the last minute. The food was very poor, and our table had no view of the show at all. For the price charged, this was not the experience we were promised or expected.

My wife and I were walking by the Peremetours when we started to talk to a young man by the name of Ginger, about cruises. He explained to us that his company puts on a 3 hour dinner/show cruise. He explained the pricing package that included hotel pick up and drop off to us and we settled on one that was convenient for us. After we concluded the transaction, Ginger said I’m going to give you a free harbour cruise and allowed us the option to pick the day that suited us, he also said he would give us a good table on the dinner cruise. We went back the next day for the harbour cruise and to our amazement it lasted 2 hours, it was absolutely fantastic. The following day, a Mercedes van picked us up at our hotel and took us back to the cruise terminal for our dinner and show cruise. Pick up went smoothly as did the drop off. We were seated front row right beside the stage, thank you Ginger for taking care of us, the dinner, the show the night cruise was fantastic. I will definitely be recommending this cruise to everyone. 5 Star, First Class Treatment.

Good night food was good entertainment was good service was excellent and very friendly no more to say

The evening dinner cruise started about 40 minutes late. I assume it was due to weather. I had requested vegetarian meal which they provided. Food was nothing to write home about. My wife's dinner was fish and she said it was decent. The entertainment was the highlight. There was dancers and music.

The cruise was very good. It was lovely seeing Istanbul at night. Staff were very friendly and worked so hard all night. The entertainment was good. However, it was a shame lots of people felt the need to stand up and video, as it blocked the view for others. The food sadly, was not great, nor was the wine. I would not recommend eating.

10 out of 10 for this great fun experience. It was all so well organized and we had a great evening. The food was really good, I had the fish and it was delicious. The views from the boat were lovely. Entertainment was fun and staff were really efficient. All in all I would happily do this trip again.

Nice views from the river. Food disappointing. Dancers good but on too long. DJ music very loud. Pick up took ages as waiting for latecomers

We were very disappointed with this event. The food was terrible and ‘drinks’ equated to two tokens only per person. We used a token for a gin and tonic and it was not cold and the glass was so small. Not good value. However Instanbul by night was amazing, so that was certainly worth it.

I had a great experience with family. Food and drinks were great. Zafer was awesome and so helpful! I would definitely recommend this activity to everyone.

Zafer was our waiter for the nighttime boat tour and he was so attentive and helpful. People kept getting up during the show and blocked our view but Zafer was very respectful to make sure everyone was able to see. He had great table manners and was really kind. Highly recommend Zafer and this experience.

Its a great experience take the Ship and the service si espectacular, Zafer was an excelent anfitrión. i recomend totally!!!

It was a really pleasant experience! The food and show were really nice ! Our waiter Ramazan was polite and helpful! Good work!

Ramazaan was a great waiter, very helpful and got whatever we needed when we asked. Great experience, would recommend for families

The boat left the dock at 10pm and it was scheduled to leave at 8.30; no apparent reason was given for the delay. The show started late and there wasn't the number of dancers they show in the pictures. The food was ok.

Pick up never happened message sent to us while we were in the air and naturally we didn’t receive it

A lot of positives. Sail between 2 continents. The views. The lights on either side, the beautiful Bosphorus bridge, the breeze...all go to make the nearly 3 hour sail a memorable experience. What could be more exciting...Well, the music..it was too loud. The seating....quite basic, both in the lounge and on the deck. Some boats had sofas on the deck..ours had small rickety chairs. The food...pre served, mechanical layout, salad not fresh, obviously chopped earlier in the day hence lacked the freshness. Food could be more interesting and inspiring. The Bar...Well that was fine as always. Had the local beer. Other alcohol on payment was available. The cruise has a cultural dance show...nice but as predictable as they are on any sail all over the world. If the same dance has to be seriously seen, then this is not the time and place. Overall, a nice experience if one takes the sunset or dinner cruise.

Omg seriously do not get suckered into this You’re stuck on the boat You can’t get off It’s absolutely terrible The drinks are limited (you’ll need them ) The food is par The view is sensational Find another way to enjoy it

We recommend not to go to this place, but we have experienced food was on the table, plastic packed water and also plastic packed bread rolls were served. We have ordered alcoholic package and we got two glass of wine. What was really awful taste and then we ordered another bottle of red wine what was €35 and basically the quality of the wine was just crappy we could not even drink the wine without putting a lot of ice in it, also the food what they served was really not even word to say anything about the beef and the fish with on a couple of salad leaves just was a joke. There was also some kind of show what we could not see because everybody was standing up, and this the whole thing was just rip off a couple of waiters. They were really aggressive, and turning away from our request, and be specially asked for eyes there was one person actually who made the whole night experience just OK, his name was we think Zoltan or Sultan so thank you for him on the other hand there was a big rip for his photographers. They were going around taking pictures and they coming out with some kind of very low quality of pictures and asking from €75-€50 three pictures I think this is ridiculous and then this just about rip off the people going there so if you can avoid it please do it so.

Our pickup driver arrived on time to collect us first - then we drove around for 90 minutes in an uncomfortable van without seatbelts (the driver told us “that’s ok” when we pointed out there were not any seatbelts.) . Music blaring we drove around narrow streets collecting people - then went back to our hotel to collect another couple who apparently had been overlooked. On the return we begged the driver to drop us first, but he did not, finally dropping us last well after midnight after another unbelted ride with music blaring. Thankfully, the cruise, dinner and show were great - just a pity what would have been a delightful experience was spoiled before it begun by a shambolic “pick up service”.

Entertainment was tops! Food average and not as advertised. The menu differed as per booking confirmation.

My lady and I were sore and exhausted from a long and wonderful touring of Istanbul. We didn't think we could even enjoy the cruise. A rainy and gloomy day until the cruise. We sat at a communal table with food designed for a crowd, which was expected and good as this is a short cruise. The service and entrainment was exemplary! Consistent and wonderful. You have the choice of going above deck if you want a quiet environment and use Google if you want to understand the touring and site seeing. Absolutely beautiful views through the night! The excellence and fun of the service, the entertainment, they filled us with energy. So personable. If you are low key and do not like this energy, either go above deck or don't come. We are so extremely pleased and will seek this cruise on our next trip to this awesome land. Second time touring Istanbul, first time on this cruise. The crew are amazing. Special shout out to our fantastic server, you were so attentive to our needs! Also I must say the DJ completely turned is on to awesome Turkish music. Turkey by cultural nature has a hustle, don't be put off. Know the deal. I am American and know hustle, so I barter. The photographers hustle but are very good at their craft and worth bartering with. My lady and I look years younger in the photos and we've spent more in just beer elsewhere. You are on vacation? Small price to pay if you barter well for the photos. Also, please tip well, just a tip goes a long way in making your servers and entertainers happy. Which makes me happy and ahead of the game. Again, I'm American where tips are a way of showing appreciation of service, which is not the norm in some places. I shout out again to my server, so attentive and professional! And I have to again give credit to the DJ that has inspired my lady and I to love Turkish music so much more!

The personalized pickup and drop off was what stood out with this acitivity. There are a LOT of boats with a lot of people and it can be overwhelming. Having our driver escort us to the right boat and pick us up after was thoroughly appreciated. The boat experience was fun with the dancing and overall energy of the crowd. The staff was very accommodating to my allergies and I enjoyed the food.

We made a very good decision to choose this cruise on our first night in Istanbul. The food, the shows, the crowd and the views were awesome. But the most important was the staff. They were all so fun and helpful. We had some confusion in understanding where the ship was docked to board, and that delayed us but the team stayed on call with us and guided us to reach the ship. The staff was very accommodating of our requests and the photographer was a fun guy to talk to. Took some great pics! Overall a great experience that you should not miss!!

Food ambience view and the music were super great we enjoyed our night on the cruise, the staff on the cruise were very welcoming and warm specially Reham she helped us get a transfer to our hotel Highly Recommended

Food was awful! Music was too loud! Boat trip was an hour too long! There was no narration about what we were seeing on both sides of the river. We were there for the history not the bad food, wine and cheesy entertainment.

Great service from the pick up drop off team. We were staying at an air bnb and got picked up from a nearby hotel but they happily dropped us off at our air bnb which made us feel very safe. Great communications with the company too.

Really entertaining and fun night. Everything was wonderful and my kids had a lovely time. Definitely would recommend this tour.

We had a great time! Entertainment were amazing and the waiters did a wonderful job, highly recommend!! Thank you 😊 great vibes!

Dreadful! Butlins on water. Entertain very amaturish, the "whirling dervish"transformed into the knife thrower etc., etc., we were half expecting him to come out as a belly dancer at some point. Food cold. Cheap alcohol. Waiter asked for a tip. Plus they charged me an extra 20% to use my card. Total rip off. You're better off getting the little ferry for a fraction of the price and if you want to see real whirling Dervish go the the Sufi centre.

Great experience, very friendly good fun for something different. We had the all inclusive option, food is average but we didn't go for the food. Drinks were provided fast and the show was entertaining, good music and atmosphere.

This was a amazing experience! Food, live show, very funny time 🤍🙏🏽🥳 o really recommend it, you have to go!

Great experience and fair dinner. Good crew as well, specially the waiters. The route was good and we took amazing pictures

We had a great time on this cruise. Food was ok but management, staff, entertainment, DJ and cruise ship were fantastic. Price was also reasonable compared to what they are offering.

It was a fantastic family dinner cruise, very friendly staff's. They had great entertainment throughout the whole evening.

Nice cruise, lasted about 2.30 hr. along the Busphorus. Food was nice, reasonable portion, and tasty. It was cold outside but we managed to take a few pictures. The show was amazing, really enjoyed a mix of Turkish and oriental dancing with DJ. Our gentle host Baris looked after us really well. Excellent value for money

Everything was great but the food could be better. Amazing performances by the artists and superb staff.

Very nice trip I encourage all people to try it fun happy and relax the best I will tell my family and friends thanks very much for this beautiful trip

Charged us twice for travel. We purchased the river cruise with unlimited drinks and transportation from the hotel. Our hotel was listed as one of the hotels where they would pick us up and drop us off. When we called to find out the time they would pick us up for the dinner cruise, the lady told us it would be an additional $50 because we were outside their pick up area. This is crazy, because we had already paid $36 extra toward transportation. We told her that and she said we could bring that up with Tripadvisor, where we bought the tickets, but she would not refund it or just charge us the difference. We called Tripadvisor and they told us to go on the trip anyway and they would resolve it later. After trying to resolve the dispute, both The tour operator and Tripadvisor refused to refund the difference. Don't get tricked! Don't pay for the extra transportation! In the end, it wasn't even private transportation. We were on a shared ride and had to wait for everyone else to get off at their hotels. $86 round-trip for a shared ride! The dancers were not as good as the previous night on a different boat. Not bad, but not as good. The food was good. Our waiter was excellent! He was very attentive and willing to refill our drinks without us asking. The Tripadvisor contact on the boat came to talk to us several times, but never offered to refund the money. That's just bad business! That's just bad customer service. It ends up getting a bad review like this. For $36, they could have made our trip one of the best, but now we are remembering it as one of the worst experiences in Istanbul!

We had an amazing time. Great and fun performances. You also get beautiful views on the city. Would recommend

It was a great experience and we enjoyed the shows, the delicious food and the great hospitality. My daughter enjoyed the trip and we will repeat the trip on our next visits.
