Highlights
- Dolmabahce Palace - If 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.

Fun dinner cruise - I accidentally booked the cruise for day before I wanted to. I send an e-mail late at night and kind stuff answered me one minute after I send the e-mail. It was huge relief for me. Pick up was like we arranged. Dinner was good, I ate fish and it was very good. My mom ate beef and it was average. Everything was good, but the show... The show was fantastic, I enjoyed it very much. There is one female dancer who lift everything up to a new level of fun. I would definitly recommend this cruise for everyone; younger and older people.

Bosphorus Boat trip - The Dinner Cruise was not what I expect. The food was not so nice, the service offered was poor, waiting long between meals, we r sitting at the tables like sardines , not enough eoom to move, hard to see the show as other people came in front of out tablw to take photos. At the end staff came and asked for a tip asking if you like the show to give them some money, the tip must be included in the tickets. The driver pick us up one hour late. I really want half of the money back.

My first visit. - The Cruise ship left the dock 45 minutes late and arrived 30 minutes earlier than the scheduled arrival meaning we lost 1:15 hour from our cruise time.
The Music was incredibly loud.
The Staff was very good and helpful.
The Shows were very entertaining.

Tourist Trap - It’s a tourist trap. Not worth it. Unless you are a fan of belly dancing the food is average. The views are great but over all not too impressive

Horrible experience !! Watch out ! - We made a reservation for new year’s eve dinner for a cruise on the Bosphorus.
After many whatsapp messages with Tolga, my reservation was confirmed, he also sent us some vouchers. He was supposed to pick me and my father up at our hotel in the city center the 31th of December between 19.30pm and 20pm.
At 20.30pm nobody was there. I texted him several times and no answer. At 21.00pm the receptionist of my hotel also called him in Turkish, he first answered and than he hanged up the phone !!.
He has literally ruined my new year’s eve night. I am really mad about that ! You can’t trust this organization.
He never apologized nor answered to my text messages.
Fortunately there are many other honest people in Istanbul.
A real shame !
