Very disappointing! I booked this cruise because it advertised the traditional Turkish whirly dancing. This dance lasted about 5 minutes and then the rest of the time scantily clad women performed - interesting since we were in a Muslim country. Food was terrible and there was so much glare on the inside windows that we couldn't see anything of the lit up city. And did I mention the restrooms? Beyond gross! Don't waste your money.
The Whirling Dervishes performance is neither advertised nor included in the itinerary of this tour. However, the program does include a belly dancing show, which is one of the main entertainment attractions, along with several other performances and activities. As for your other concerns, we will review the situation and promptly address them, contacting the relevant teams to improve our services. If the issue is due to our error, we will be pleased to offer you appropriate compensation.
A terrible cruise dinner! Waiting for water about one hour, very unfriendly waiter, cold main dish (fish) and against the order no fruits, no dessert and no coffee.
Could you please contact us directly via WhatsApp at +90 535 040 3919 and include your booking reference number so we can assist you further? I look forward to hearing from you at your earliest convenience.
It was alright, boarding was long, pick up was 20 minutes late, but great communication Slow to be able to get drinks Food was average no great. Plan to tip the person who gives you drinks, only 2 on the entire ship. Music & performance was very good. Views of lit up Istanbul's excellent
Thank you for your feedback. We shall promptly address your concerns with the relevant teams to improve our services. I hope we have the opportunity to welcome you again in the near future.
The pickup was an hour late. I was unable to get responses during that hour. I eventually received a text and location pin. We walked to the pickup. At the boat we initially had difficulty getting drinks / waited on. Once all of that was done we had a great time. Lots of fun seeing the various Turkish dancers. Then it evolved into a party. Well worth it.
Thank you for your review. We hope to welcome you back again soon.
A pleasant boat tour. Everyone did their best. Very friendly staff. Average food and average show. If you are looking for luxury and something special is wrong here. With us it was still relatively empty as we drove in March. I can imagine that with more people it can get more exhausting as they are relatively close together and there are not a lot of staff. Those who want to see the show should choose tables close to the stage. If you don’t like loud music and value professionalism at the show and quality food, this is the wrong place. Free soft drinks (if option booked).
Vielen Dank für Ihre Bewertung. Wir hoffen, Sie bald wiederzusehen.
I very much enjpyed my 3 day city break. Liked looking around the ancient mosques and Roman buildings I think Summer might be a challenge with big ques at Passport control If staying in the old town worth notibg the location of your hotel as mine was right next to the tram only highway I enjoyed my trip vert much and loom forward to another short stay city break to Istanbul in the future
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon
Poor communication in terms of precise pick up location prior. Food below average, service sub par (rushed, inattentive, occasionally rude). Pushy photographer trying to get you to buy his pictures also

We went to the Dinner cruise with our friends. The food is good quality. So does the performance! The dance party after the performance was really fun! Excellent service!
Thank you for your review. We hope to see you again soon
Very good quality price! It’s a fun and good tour for a lively night, but keep in mind that there’s no explanation of what you’re going through. However, seeing him at night is wonderful. The only thing you could tell you're going to wait a while on the boat before setting sail, but then it's worth it. The staff very very attentive!
Gracias por tu reseña. Esperamos verte pronto.
Information incorrect; poor operator as they changed times after booking and failed to communicate with pick up staff who were contracted. By moving the time forward 45 minutes we could not make tour and didn’t go. They refused a refund tho we notified them as soon as they changed the time
