Highlights
  • Dolmabahce Palace - f you take a Bosphorus tour, you’ll pass many lavish and intriguing buildings, but the most opulent of them all, surely has to be the 600m long Dolmabahçe Sarayı (Dolmabahce Palace). It took 13 years to build and was completed in 1856, and served as the administrative center of the Ottoman Empire until 1922. The palace was commissioned by Sultan Abdülmecid (who decided there should be a more European palace than Topkapi) and designed by Armenian architect Karabet Balian and his son Nikoğos Balian. (read Balyan family on wikipedia). It is an ostentatious blend architectural styles including Baroque, Rococo, Neoclassical and modern Ottoman, dripping in luxury.

Thank you, whole crew, for making our time memorable. - Excellent organization of the tour, starting from welcoming guests, good staff, delicious food, and cultural dance show activities. When dealing with our private table, Ahmet was kind and efficient, with little humor. My wife and I loved the tour and recommend it to everyone coming to Istanbul.

They fully deliver on the promised service. - Great activity, very fun, very organized, the food was good and abundant. We payed for the ticket with alcohol included and it was worth it, they were not cheap with it. Our waiter was really nice and attentive, making sure our glasses were always full. We never felt pressured to tip or pay for extra services (such as the photos). Very accommodating. The shows were nice as well as the views.

The bosphorus at night... - The boat is good, private table, just enough starters of 2 or several options and that's fine, unlimited soft drinks, just enough dessert but you have the option to pay... The dances and DJ are good, there is a smoking area and the beautiful crossing. The transfers are correct, but always because of some client waiting for them to get off their hotel, you are delayed.

Good, but weak - The views of the lit buildings at night were beautiful. The dancing was fun, belly dancer, whirling dervish, and folk dancers. Pick up and delivery went fairly smoothly, get time of pick-up clarifies. Now, the dinner. It was beyond horrible. Our waiter never asked us what we wanted or explained what came as sides. He put down 2 plates of fish, said "fish, fish" and left. It was dry overcooked salmon and a pile of RAW onions. That's all. I wasn't expecting anything great, but this was inedible and I'm not fussy. Good experience. Don't go hungry and expecting decent food.

Nice cruise and show - The views from the boat and the show, we’re the best parts of the cruise. The pick up transfer from our hotel was late by an hour, we were first put on a different van that was the wrong one then taken off and put on the right one. The staff spoke little to no English which made it difficult.

Very disappointed - I am not one to write a negative review. It was our 1st time in Istanbul. I chose this dinner cruise over the others, because of the 5 Star rating and comments. We were a group of 13 and everyone was looking forward to this and unfortunately we were very disappointed. We arrived at the meeting point to find out the the cruise was coming in late. There was a huge crowd waiting. When we were finally heading over to board, there was so much disorganization. People pushing and shoving. Timur communicate with me efficiently and was reachable. During one of his messages, he confirmed that he had reserved the best table for the 13 of us in front of the stage (we were celebrating a friends bday). This did not happen. We were actually given 2 separate tables at the very back, by the door. I informed Timur's representative, he spoke with a manager and moved us closer but the location was even worse. Aside from our terrible personal experience, the food was below average as was the entertainment. We paid for the food plus alcohol but the servers were so busy that it would take a long time to get your drink. Also, there were so many people and you could hardly move from your seat. After the show, it pretty much turned into a party dance cruise which the young people seemed to enjoy. Not what we expected at all.

Fraud - Terrible event. Meet at pier and wait for a boat that never came. Everyone get on bus for 30 minutes. Go to industrial port and get on boat that was broken down. They don’t tell you the boat is not sailing till 2 hours after the original meeting time. Bus trip was dangerous with driver using phone in hand for directions the entire time. Avoid this trip

👎 - I regret to give this review but I would no recommend this experience. The transfer back to the hotel was totally unacceptable, food not very appealing and the entertainment extremely limited.
