Excellent service - This was a suprise birthday present for my wife and she loved it. I can't express in words how we felt it. It was such a lovely experience. Food was very good. We had 3 course meal and unlimited drinks and it's value for money. Staff were very professional and very kind. Dance artist were great and really great performance. Full of entertainment on the trip. From start to end it was a amazing event. If you visit Istanbul I highly recommend this. Don't believe in negative reviews. Really this is a amazing event and you should experience it. You experiencing it and then write a review. Me and my wife loved it and I highly recommend to everyone coming to Istanbul to experience this trip. Thanks to all the staff working on that day. August 17th night. Thanks a million. And thanks to Rahima our tour operator who picked us from hotel and she dropped us back at hotel. I recommend to use pick up and drop service to everyone. There srrvtis great.

Fun night, decent food, a little lacking in coordination - The cruise was a fun way to pass the evening in Istanbul with good music, entertainment, and decent food (considering the price).
The coordination for hotel pick up and drop off needs improvement. I had to follow up on the details of the hotel pick up and I wasn’t given a plate number of the driver. Furthermore, I wasn’t oriented that each bus had a number, so it was very hard to understand where to go afterwards.
An additional point - this was advertised as a sunset cruise, but it was already night time before we departed. The views are decent, but the sunset timing would be better. Sunset times can vary, so just bear that in mind when booking this.

Alright experience - Experience with this organiser was alright as they tried to entertain the tourists as much as possible, excluding the food. Their process of gathering people to the cruise or pick ups should extend to outskirts of the city too. It was a confusing meeting point for us as we had our own transportation.

Good overall - It was very entertaining experience for us. The hotel pick up and drop off were smooth. The dance shows were energetic and fun.
The only problem was food. It was bland and was not appetizing.
Overall a fun night.

A horribly disgusting experience - Too many tables which made movement difficult. The so called 'authentic Turkish show' was done in a very small area in the middle of the massive room and is only visible by the tables immediately next to them. The rest of us could only see the dancers heads and even that only if there were no passing waiters, photographers or people wanting to take videos. The music was neither authentic nor Turkish, there was only Bulgarian and Serbian music of the lowest class. The 'star of the show', the belly dancer, was incredibly low class and cheaply lustful and could not dance to save her life. In every beginner course for belly dance there are better dancers. I am convinced that in literally every restaurant in Istanbul I could have eaten better food than what we got on the boat. A bottle of wine without a label and with very little alcohol cost 55 euros. We could not watch a show for the above mentioned reasons and we could not see the Bosphorus because they had bedecked the windows in string lights which made it impossible, considering it was late evening. A complete waste of both money and time. The greed of the organisers has made them put so many tables so close together that the idea of a show becomes meaningless.
