Brilliant night - Food really nice. Drinks were included even though there was a price list/ menu on the table so we expected to pay. Great entertainment - even a parrot came to the show. Great value., longer than expected. Even had free transport to and from the venue

Fun experience - Great entertainment, friendly staff, and good food. My family and I had a great experience. The transfer shuttle service took too long picking everyone up and dropping them off though.

An exhilarating experience - They were very prompt in accommodating all the guests. Beautiful decor and lovely presentation by various performers. However limited vegetarian menu and seating arrangement was not comfortable as all chairs were closely placed. Too many people being accommodated in a limited space.

Dj has some banging tunes!… 10/10 Only thing i would change is the woman who was showing our photographs seemed like she didnt want to be there, moody! The photographer however was professional and polite. :)

Dinner cruise was fun BUT DON’T TRUST TOUR OPERATOR FOR HOTEL PICK AND DROP SERVICE - The dinner cruise experience was really good and fun. The food was good. We were quite full. The entertainment was fun. We had a great time. The biggest drawback was the pickup service. At the time of booking it mentioned that they will pick us up from our hotel which was 20 minutes away from the ferry terminal. After booking we tried to contact this tour operator a lot about the pick up time but there was answer. Just an hour and a half before the departure time the tour operator contacted us and told that they won’t be able to pick us up and the service is not available and we have to reach there by ourselves and someone from there will take us to the ferry. We hurried out and took a taxi there and our taxi driver tried to talked to the tour operator to which he was told to drop us at a bus station. Taxi driver told us that the operator is coming and went. We were standing at the bus station completely clueless. Then the tour operator phoned us again and after a while found us and took us to that ferry. It was really stressful to get there while we booked this tour because of hotel pick up and drop off only, otherwise there were other operators too who clearly mentioned that they won’t do hotel pick and drop. And the price of this one was higher for that reason. DO NOT TRUST THE TOUR IF IT SAYS IT INCLUDES HOTEL PICK AND DROP SERVICE. We returned to our hotel by ourselves as well.

Good - The mini shows were a lot of fun, and the views were beautiful. I wish the menu would have been available in advance. Drinks were hard to order, and the food was OK. A way to see Istanbul for sure.

Everyone enjoy the shows and have fun - Everyone enjoy the shows and also have fun joining the dance after the Performances by the belly dancers. The only reason I gave 4 star is due to the food (starter/appetiser) is not that good, maybe due to our taste bud and we did not get use to the flavours. Also we don't drink which is the second disadvantage for us and we can't really enjoy the drinks. even though they mentioned the soda/drinks were free flow but the waiters didn't even offer to top up our drinks. The Pickup were a bit late and we have to walk out to the main road about 300 meters away from our hotels but we still manage to arrive on time. We were seated in the lower deck (indoor) in the cruise which is good, but we can't actually enjoy the view due to the cold weather (in winter only i guess) and the windows were all foggy "BUT" you can actually have a great view if you go to upper deck but the wind is too cold to handle 😅. Overall, I can say that I would recommend this but try not to go on winters I guess.

Overcrowded, noisy and mediocre food - If you want a very loud, very crowded dinner experience with mediocre food, then this is your tour. People were jammed so tightly on this ship that the servers could hardly get around and therefore the service was very poor. We barely got one drink and could never get any additional. The food was mediocre, the only thing I can say good about it was that it was hot. After the traditional Turkish dancing, which hardly anyone could see because of the layout of the stage and the cramped dining, the music was turned up and the ship turned into a dance party. We were looking for something more quiet so we went up on the top deck. The best thing about this was the city lights. Read the full description and know what you’re getting into before you book this tour.
