Excellent party boat atmosphere on the Istanbul night cruise. - A great cruise with a meal which was excellent for mass catering.
The entertainment was excellent , the dancers were very enthusiastic and they also got the guests involved at the end.
Finishing the night off with a disco was just the icing on the cake.

Fantastic evening on the Bosphorus - A very enjoyable evening. Food and drink was fully included at a very reasonable price. The Turkish dancing was enjoyable and there were magnificent views from the boat as we meandered along the Bosphorus. The organisers managed to get us re-booked on a different boat when ours had operational issues, and despite our transfer coach getting stuck in the terrible Sultanahmet traffic, they waited for us to arrive before sailing. Great communication from the tour company throughout. Highly recommended.

Over crowded. - The food was surprisingly good, especially the starters. I had the fish - tasty. The venue for the show was on the deck above and it was over crowded by a lot - a series of long tables with chairs very much together, and little space to walk between rows. Those at the ends of the tables could not see much of the show because of the distance and people with their phones up recording parts of the show. In order to get a good seat, eat really fast and run upstairs. Definitely not my favorite. One more point - the show was okay.

Bosphorus dinner cruise - Pick up coordination and transportation to the cruise ship was not well organized. The cruise was enjoyable and the scenery was amazing. The dinner was fine. Staff were very friendly. The Turkish Dance show was entertaining.

Nightmare! - This driver picked us up at our hotel as described.
However, we were dropped off, about 2 blocks away from the hotel, at the top of a hilly street and told we would have to walk to our hotel from there!
There were 4 of us, ranging in age from 68 (1 person), 74 (1 person) and 80 (2 people).
The 74 year old had to be helped off and onto the bus and the boat because they are obviously physically impaired and have great difficulty climbing the high steps and crossing the high gaps between the surfaces of these vehicles.
Fellow passengers were kind enough to assist them while the driver did nothing to assist.
One of the 80 year olds had a cane which was required to assist him with walking and getting on and off the vehicles.
Despite these issues, the bus driver insisted they get off the bus at the hilltop and had absolutely no empathy for their situation. Disgraceful behavior!
Even when one of the passengers told the driver two of them were infirm. He still insisted they get off of the bus then and there.
This is an awful and extremely inconsiderate way to treat the elderly and the handicapped.
I certainly hope this driver will be properly disciplined.
Horrible experience!
