Stage Front Bosphorus Dinner Cruise With Pickup & Drinks Included

We paid Extra for a Stage front table. We did not get a stage front table.In fact, we were so far back, we couldn't even see the show. The staff ignored us when we tried to point this out. I would like to have the extra money paid for a stage seat refunded. Thank you.

The selling point is misrepresented. Don't pay extra for a “front row table”. You will be seated wherever the waiters put you. Otherwise the staff do an admirable job feeding the 100 or so guest with typical banquet food and lots of wine. The show is good if you are closes enough to see it. We were not. The Bosphorus is beautiful at night Enjoy the outside scenery

Very good food and muaic but the pick up was 45 mins late. Entertainment was varies and of a good standard. Great views of the waterfront.

The scenery at night was amazing! Best to go outside on top. If you’re a couple, you will not sit next to each other at dinner but across from each other and jammed in at tables of 12 people that you don’t know. The traditional dancers were very good, but not sure it was appropriate to have a belly dancer going around to every table for tips. We had a very difficult time finding the cruise because the pin that was on the sign up was nowhere near the location where the boat was docked. At the end of the cruise we went to tip the crew and a waiter told us he was our waiter and took the money. Definitely a very touristy experience!

Was a fantastic fun and lively evening ! The food and dancers were both great and the drinks never ending The cruise itself was really relaxing with amazing views - worth doing so give it a go

The show was enjoyable and the belly dancer was excellent. Our waiter looked after us very well .the only negative was the wine after our meal tasted inferior

What a fun trip! Pick up from our hotel was great. Excellent entertainment. Excellent food. Lots of dancing. Well worth the price.

The cruise was an average experience. It was overcrowded with no place to sit comfortably or move around. The air-conditioning was poor. We had booked a VIP private table which looked exactly same as others. The savior was the dance performances (belly dancing was below average), food and courteous staff.

Overall, this experience is a must. While the on-board performers were earnest in their performances, there is more expertise I would have expected from the team, particularly since I was availing a premium ticket. However, everyone (crew and performers) were very hospitable and I would definitely recommend a trip on the cruise.

Go for the beautiful night views along the Bosphorous. Food & drink are nothing special. Entertainment was fun. It's like a Turkish luau - a little cheesy - but a fun experience.

We were collected from our hotel and our driver was 20 mins late. He then had to pick up other couples but clearly didn’t know where he was going and regularly drove down one way streets! It took over an hour to arrive at the boat when we could have walked there in 20 mins. The cruise itself was average. Fabulous views of course and good food but our meal was rudely interrupted by a photographer wanting to take promo photos of us but we were in the middle of eating so it was totally inappropriate and intrusive. The entertainment was pretty good and gave an insight into some typical Turkish dances etc. Later in the evening it became, what I can only describe as a party boat. Great if you’re still young enough to enough loud irritating music but it was just too cheesy for our liking. During our stay we got the ferry across to the Asian side which was far more enjoyable. Overall, too touristy and cheesy for us but it will certainly appeal to others, as clearly demonstrated in the reviews.

It´s waste of time just to write review. Worst fish i probably have in my life and i live in central europe without any seanarround. As per ohoto where fish is as rubber. Food really bad and wine was the cheapest one. Boat does not have windows, but plastic cover with bad visibility so you cant see a city throught. And unlimited drinks have of course limits. Just find a different boat

This dinner cruise was Fun Fun Fun. It felt like a big wedding. I went alone and I met so many ppl. The staff was friendly, professional and also made it a lot of fun. I even left the photos I paid for by accident and they told me they would mail it to me. Would definitely recommend.

My experience was AWESOME !!! The goodies excellent and the activities were timed just right. The staff was energized and welcoming . I left feeling completely satisfied with my choice of this cruise. Would repeat whenever I return to Istanbul

TOURIST SCAM ! AVOID IT !! Booked it looking at the reviews but it was a horrible experience . First of all it's a closed boat without the view on the sides. Atleast 400 - 600 peope are crammed on a small boat. The seating is so clumsy you can't even move your arms to eat. Almost like herds of cow next to each other ready to be fed. If you look like a rich fool from who ethy can extort money using their on board extras you a given a table where the performances happen. If not your seated in the center looking at passerby. Only 2 3 tables out of 200 can watch the show. The bell dancer was probably 60 years old. The food was HORRIBLE!!! The service is next level horrible. The bald manager guy is very rude. Doent even bother saying a hi to people. Qas behaving like he is doing a favour to us all. During covid none of the rules of social distancing were followed . This isn't a cultural experience!! Just a tourist scam to make money! AHMED the waiter was the only nice guy who tried his best. VIATOR I NEED MY REFUND !!

It was super fun! Great show dancing. The last 40 min was just a dance party for everyone. Food was ok, not amazing but nothing to complain about either, but what do you expect!! Service was great, drinks kept coming, met awesome people at our table.

Everything was great. Transport, waiter, ambient, music, etc. It was a really great atmosphere and we had a nice view on Istanbul.

What a great experience with fabulous entertainment and friendly waiters. The all inclusive alcohol price was good and they were very generous and never let the glasses get empty. And we finished the evening dancing to a fab DJ. I can highly recommend this and it is superb value

Very nice experience. Well organized stuff and very good photographers. We really enjoyed it, a good choice for visitors.

Cruise was good, the organizer was helpful by arranging pick up when my booking was made only 2 hours before the cruise start time. It was a good experience and I would recommend it to everyone who wants a relaxing evening activity

Friendly staff and fast service. The food was good and the athmosphere was nice. It’s worth to do it when you visit Istanbul.

The show where good and the cruise itself was enjoyable. The only downfall was the food very avarage

No covid measures. Dinner very bad. It is not recommended for couples because you will be in the table with 8 more persons.

Amazing experience. Good food & music. Experienced personal. The show was very interesting. Thank you

Awesome service. They picked up us from our hotel with their air conditioned van. Food was good. Crew were really helpful. The photographers were a little pushy and expensive. Overall I am satisfied with their service. I would recommend any future traveler to use their service.

Excellent service, they took us from our hotel and brought us back. Good food, good entertainment, and family photos! The view was amazing as well.

Lovely experience with good food! Very entertaining, lots of performances with stunning views of both the European and Asian side of Istanbul!

That was really wonderful. The trip takes about 3 hours, the meal is good and the show program is full with traditional turkish dances including dervish show, we saw all the highlights in one place. Thank you!

Good food, amazing views, the entertainment was also good, staff were friendly and transfers were easy. Great night overall.

The show was good but the food needs improvement and use much more fresh ingredient , the driver will come to pick you up if you are in the center of the city Any it’s a god experience to have if you visit Istanbul

I’m here at Istanbul and I need to find location of their office so I can book cause my hotel doesn’t know about this tour

It was great outing I'm the evening to have served dinner and watch some dance performances. The waiter was very attentive and polite. It was cold outside so I stayed out at the dinner floor. The issues I saw: - very crowded. All tables were filled with barely slave to walk around. T - dance performance didn't have a raised stage, so it was hard to watch from distant tables.

Pickup service from hotel was good. The condition of the ship was good. Staff were friendly and not shy on the drinks for customers. DJ and entertainment was great. The small negative is that the food is average. Not good but not bad either.

Very nice to show. Highly recommended.Turkish dancers are beautiful to see. Enjoyed every part of dinner cruise. The food, drinks and performance of the dancers.

Not a bad evening , food was just ok but that's the local food , prob just not my taste otherwise service was good and staff very friendly .

In short, there was a mixup with the pickup time for the cruise, and we missed it. Please see the attached photo. While I'm at fault for not seeing the general pickup time ranges for my hotel's neighborhood, the cruise is at fault for not e-mailing or calling to tell us a pick-up time as it had promised. As a result, though we expected the pickup to be 8:30, the pickup arrived around 7:40 when I wasn't ready. I was confused why the pickup had arrived so early, and by the time I was ready around 7:55/8, the pickup had already left. I tried to call the company to figure out where we can meet the boat at the dock, but the phone number didn't work. This was a frustrating experience.

Had an AMAZING experience. They were very accomodating. They even changed our seats on request. The boat was really nice too. Pick up from hotel was on time. Really good management.

Very nice cruise, the boat is amazing ! They were very friendly and the show was very nice. We loved it

We just went to a great cruise with mood night dinner, Cruise & Dinner both are amazing. The driver who came for pickup, was so friendly & helpful. We were with 2 kids both with strollers. He helped a lot in assisting . Highly Recommended!

The driver picked us up from our hotel in Sisli on time. He was courteous and we arrived on time to the boat. We sat on a table with the other guests from our hotel and fortunately, we had a great view of the dance floor. I was on vacation with my mother and she had such an amazing time. Our waiter was also very attentive and helpful. I would definitely recommend. It was great value for the money we paid.

One of the best thing I did In Istanbul. Great boat, lovely food, friendly staff and so much fun with Turkish and belly dance. On time puck up from hotel and timmely drop off. Highly recomended. A+++++

Pickup was late, did not get to boat until 8:45. Food was cold when served. entertainment could not be seen from our table. Waiter did an excellent job, one of the few positives of the evening.

My wife and I wanted to go on a cruise while in Istanbul and this did not disappoint! The pickup and drop off at the hotel went smoothly and was a huge perk. We ended up being seated next to a lovely couple and had a great time talking and joking with them all evening. The food was good, as was the entertainment, and the waiters were very attentive. We would absolutely recommend it!

The pick up from the hotel was punctual, the boat was lovely, entertainment and food average but pleasant. The one thing that spoiled our evening was our waiter who asked for a tip in the middle of the evening; when he received the money the service deteriorated, he was slow getting drinks and the drinks were half the size they were before the tip was given! This spoiled, an otherwise, very pleasant evening.

Well-organized, quick responses from the tour leader, quality food, and nice performances. I'd try it again, it is worth your time and money for sure.

Good food unlike other cruises.Very well organized. Lots of entertainment options. Would recommend..

Lousy!!! nothing glamorous, I paid for a month in the front row and we barely saw. The cold and shoddy dinner, the dishes were removed early, a horrible cold those of us stuck to the window. When I bought it they reported as a guide in Spanish and nobody spoke Spanish there. I certainly feel conned and for the price I paid I do not recommend it to anyone.

Lo mejor fueron las vistas y la gente que conocí en la mesa, quienes casualmente hablaban español y viajan solos también. Pero el crucero en sí mismo creo que no vale demasiado la pena: el show no era nada que no se hubiese visto antes y de peor calidad (si quiere ir a ver un show de baile turco, hay mucho mejores opciones), la cena estuvo regular, por ejemplo, pedí comida vegetariana y solo había disponible pasta de sobre con salsa de tomate. En síntesis, no es una mala experiencia, pero creo que el crucero tiene aspectos que mejorar.

Le repas horrible le service catastrophique et les animations (très moyenne)si vous êtes placé au début ou à la fin vous voyez rien et si vous vous levez pour regardez on vous dit de vous asseoir mais pas de là meilleur maniéré vraiment très cher comparé au prix
