  • I was put a the table in the back with chair with no cover like we were the extra and the rest of venue had nice chairs cover comfortable, the food was not was I was expecting or advertised.we were suppose to leave at 8:30 from the port we left after 9 and after we past the bridge we spent 30 min around the guard coast came 2( not sure why) and at 11:30 we were back in port. Plus I was told initially that the boat is called "amor" went to the boat and I was sent to a different one less luxury that this one. Probably if I would had choose alcohol with dinner would had been that boat. Not sure. Plus is was quite cold and people were allowed ti vape inside the it was smelling bad from those electronic cigarettes.

  • Los bailarines son buenos. La comida es pésima: fría, poquito y son 3 platos, no 4. El alcohol es carisimo. Además como los meseros están todo el tiempo recogiendo platos, no dejan ver bien el show.

  • The ticket said to be at the hotel reception 10-15 minutes before the cruise for the transfer. We arrived at our hotel about 30 minutes before the cruise and the hotel receptionist told us that the transfer had already left and left because we were not there. The transfer had come about 45 minutes before the cruise. Fortunately, thanks to the hotel receptionist, we were able to move the same cruise to the next day because it was not our fault that the transfer came so early. The next day we went to dinner and everything was great. Only instead of a 4-course dinner, there was a 3-course dinner.

  • It was really a great tour with team. Everyone from start to end including drivers, guide, cruise staff, meals booking process everythis was perfect and smooth. Highly recommend

  • This Bosphorus cruise was truly the highlight of my trip to Istanbul. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, with no stress or waiting. The private table added a special touch, and the four-course dinner was delicious and beautifully presented. The live show really elevated the atmosphere – the combination of music, performances, and energy on board was amazing. But what truly takes your breath away is the view of Istanbul at night, the bridges, and landmarks as you sail between two continents. A perfect mix of relaxation, great food, and an unforgettable experience. Definitely something worth doing, and I would do it again without hesitation.

  • Leckeres Essen und tolles Ambiente. Allerdings gibt es fast ununterbrochen Vorführungen (Bautanz, orientalische Tänze, traditionelle Tänze) mit extrem lauter Musik, auch während des Essens. Die Lautstärke ist so massiv, dass man sich nicht unterhalten kann und irgendwann auch Kopfschmerzen bekommt. Schade! Es wäre sinnvoll, das Angebot abzuspecken und lieber nur ein paar einzelne Vorführungen zu machen. Es war alles sehr überfrachtet und hat am Ende keinem was gebracht.

  • Al palacio le pondría 5 estrellas porque es maravilloso una visita que no te puedes perder. El "crucero" fue un auténtico desastre salimos media hora tarde, la cena es horrorosa y está malisima, el barco solo dio vueltas alrededor de 1 puente ni santa Sofía ni Mezquita Azul, los espectáculos iban muy bien hasta que salió la danza del vientre e estado en despedidas donde las stripers son más lights que estas una auténtica vergüenza y el final con el saxofonista fue para quedarnos sordos ya que tenía tal volumen que era imposible estar dentro, vamos que si os toca el barco llamado amor cancelarlo

  • The food was ok. But then the boat operator will take your pictures when you don't want to. After that they will print them and sell the pictures for 130 euro yes euro not lira. Which is a tourist trap since activity itself I paid 26 euro.

  • Dolmabahcec Palace was amazing! The audio guide was great. The dinner cruise was disappointing. Wait staff was fantastic! They worked so hard and did everything possible to make you feel taken care of. Unfortunately, the food was cold. The music was so LOUD it honestly hurt my ears. My husband and I had a table for two and had to text to each other just to converse. TV monitors on the ship should be used to display the stage show instead of displaying highlight of of show. Perhaps if the passengers could see the show easier, they would not be trying to stand up to see all the time. Although I know it upset some passengers, I did appreciate the staff asking people to sit down during the dance performances.

  • Todo muy bien la atención el paseo el show en general muy bonitos!!! La comida el plato de entrada y el salmón estuvo muy bien!!! En general quedamos muy satisfechos.
