A 4 Hour Dinner, Dancing, Entertainment, and sightseeing Cruise With Great Service at a Steal of a Price - Was pleasantly surprised at what a good time aboard a 20:00-23:30 cruise I had for a great price. I paid $79 USD for the gold vip package no alcohol because I was recovering from a medical procedure (which is what brought me to Istanbul). This included pickup directly to and from my hotel, a VIP table at the top of the boat with a great view of the city and stage. Immediately upon arriving after being escorted by my driver I’m shown to my table and immediately the server is pouring me water and asking me for my drink order and shows me my choices for dinner. For less then the price of what I paid for an entree and a soup in my hotels room service, I had a delicious and wonderfully presented and served 7 course meal with an optional 5€ ice cream to top it all off. My drinks were bottomless and kept coming the second I was empty. Be sure to bring small bills for the great service as well as a fantastic optional framed portrait suitable for a profile picture for only 5€. I saw her coming around and thought to myself my excuse to decline the overpriced picture and when told the price and how happy I was with the shot, I happily obliged. The views were lovely. The tour part consisted of 4-5 English pre-recorded explanations of a few sites including the palace, the bridge and a couple of others. On the bosphorous. The entertainment after the main entree started around 22:00 and consisted of about 7 or so different dances across a few different cultures that were nicely choreographed. The solo belly dancer who came on around 22:26 (which funny enough was also when the dessert was served) stole the show for me, but it was all good. Be prepared to be invited to belly dance with her from the comfort of your seat (to help digest the food and get the soul moving of course). All this on a Tuesday night in late August. I challenge you to find a better event for this price and accommodation.

Definetly a must if you're visiting turkiye - This whole experience was amazing😁, the food was really tasty and the views were one of the best ones I've seen since the start of my 2 week holiday here in Istanbul. The prices are like average for a tour ship like this, but on this one you would think it would be way more than what it actually is. There is a really nice shopping centre a couple minutes away to keep you occupied while you wait for your ship to arrive. Anyways I would definetly recommend going here during the night if you want to see one of the biggest cities in the world in all its glory . And the bread is really good 👍

Great experience - Very good! I loved everything! 100% recommended the food was great! The salad, the starter and the main dish! You can bring your kids, friends, family! Hablan español, los precios son affordable.

10/10 experience - It was an amazing night and beyond my expectations. The food was fresh and delicious. The waiters were so kind and the service was really fast.

Bosphorus Evening Cruise - Excellent experience... highly recommend. Food and entertainment amazing. Shukram the waiter was great. Give it a go. You won't be disappointed.

Worth it! - Good food, nice view, fun entertainment, and good wine and very good seating. Service was absolutely perfect. Worth the money.

Just ok - It was ok, both the show and the food, nothing extraordinary, nothing vip about it. We had good time talking to our neighbours, and dancing at the end of the experience.

Decent - Food was okay, performances were decent. Could be better. Would recommend only if you have lot of time left in your trip. Booked online and prices were good. Hotels are charging almost double for the same experience.

Bad Food - Food was very bad and extra charges for everything , good staff and show is OK , not even some tea , many other better options available

GIVE IT A MISS - Booked the Gold/VIP option promising best view of the performance, best views of the Bosphorus canal and more menu options. However, was seated two tables behind the performance and had to often lean to side to see, staff would pass in front or stand in the way. The view of the canal from the table was not great needing to twist around to look out AND the inside lighting reflection on windows spoilt the view anyway. Starter and main was decent but if you order the steak don’t expect anything but “well-done”as it’s cut into thin fillets before being grilled. The salad and fruit platter was not fresh and some of fruit was not yet ripe. All the performances were just okay. And to top it off, my table was next to the entrance to the toilets that smelled disgusting. The manager was informed by me and the couple at next table but they could not off to move our table…we had to put up with the stench for nearly the whole evening. Overall customer service, value and quality was not great. Rather take a sunset cruise and have dinner at one of the many restaurants along the canal.
