Jam packed night of entertainment and good food! Highly recommend ! - Excellent experience that flies by. We didn't know what to expect after some of the reviews but really it was everything we hoped for! The food was delicious and filling (we got the grilled fish) - appetiser and dessert (small baklava and fruit and tea) were great too. We arrived at 830 but it seems you could arrive earlier and the experience finished at 1130. It's jam packed of entertainment (3 males and 3 females who do various traditional dances that are highly varied) that feels almost non-stop, make sure you get outside and have a lot at the view, especially when passing the lit up palaces! The belly dancer does a long show and there's lots of crowd interaction where the audience members can tip into her waistband (or she does it for you if you're not comfortable) but don't worry, if you're not keen she won't approach. Then, at the end of the show, the dancers got audience members up and we did the Macarena, which then went and opened up the dance floor to the crowd. There was this awesome crew of 8 friends who really brought the house down on the d floor - highlight of the night ! Honestly, such value for money!! (We got the soft drink option because we aren't big drinkers so just 34 euro with current Aussie exchange rate).

Great value for money - Well over 2 hours of cruising, lovely food, music and dancing for ages, fantastic views of both sides of Istanbul at night, unlimited drinks which were flowing thanks to Osman our waiter. A great night, a good laugh, lots of photos of the scenery.

Enjoyable and great value for money - We had a great evening on the river cruise. Super organised, shown to our table and the staff were extremely attentive throughout the whole night. The meal was good. In fact way better than we were expecting. The unlimited drinks more than suitable in what was being offered. The entertainment was exactly that, entertaining and something that was an experience (not sure I could see it all a second time though). Music and dancing on the upper decks finished off a very enjoyable time. Would highly recommend.

Cruise OK. Included transfer hotel-cruise-hotel a NIGHTMARE - My cousin and I purchased the option with the Cruise and the transportation included. They picked us up on time and no issues. The cruise has average food (expected) and average show. Some folklore dances and belie dancer, no swirling dances. The one thing that's worthy is the view of the illuminated building on the Bosphorus. When the time came to get back to our hotel, there was NO BUS # 10 as we were told to look for, no one waiting for us! Everyone was gone. I texted the driver and until I threatened to report him, he answered. He came back for us, making us cross a very dangerous street and he had the nerve to watch videos while driving! It felt so unsafe for 2 women alone at 11:30pm Worst experience!

Not a great dinner/ tour but ok Folk dance performance only - Completely average experience. Meal was ok- lots of food but not really that good. Cruise is in the dark and we wanted to see the sites. We downloaded the audio guide but it had issues. We were also sat further way away from the side that they spoke about, so barely saw them. Therefore as a tour it was disappointing. (Better to take a day tour or public ferries). Performance of folk dancing was well performed but loud and overwhelming.

Excellent experience - We went on a night cruise with dinner and shows with Bosphorus Cruises (not Lufer Yachts). The cruise and shows were excellent. We paid for front row seats to watch the shows and were given excellent seats. However, each time a show commenced, those who were at the rear of the boat who had paid the standard rate, came forward and stood in front of our tables and blocked our view completely. All those who had paid extra were protesting, but they did not move aside. Better management is required on this issue. Yet good value for money.
