The boat is beautiful and huge. The food was also great and the live entertainment was amazing. They sent very detailed directions of how to get to the boat the morning of our tour and they were very easy to follow. The staff was attentive and service was great. Mohammed was very kind and seated us at a nice table with a lovely view of the dance floor and by the window. Would definitely recommend this to anyone visiting Istanbul!

Great value
Great value, dinner, cruise the river, and live entertainment of Turkish dance and twirling dervish. Only negative was all very very loud music all the time. But if you bring earplugs you will like it.

True luxury experience, for a Family..
M.Huseynzade is a peoples-person .. he took care of my booking from the moment I messaged him. He is a great person to interact - even my 13yr old Son liked him! He took good care of our requirement - specially food, since we wanted vegetarian meal. The cruise was an incredible experience with live entertainment viz. music, flute and various dance performances.

Evening cruise in Istanbul with dinner in music
Hi, there was a lot of Ottoman soldiers or men that show was fine but the others with the blade show was very unnecessary especially putting a cardboard on top of a woman’s tummy and throwing knives was pretty scary and was not needed. They should’ve had more DJ top 40 hip-hop that would be very entertaining. I didn’t think it was entertaining and the food was not great so I would not read this show to be good because there are other evening cruises in Istanbul with a much better quality and much better entertainment.

Hotel pickup was easy....
Hotel pickup was easy. Show is fun. Take time to go up to the upper deck - good pictures of Istanbul at night.

Possible think of doing a day time trip
But disorganised, long wait to get onto boat in pouring rain. Then had to wait in rain for bus home. The VIP table at the window wasn't ideal...not at window and at top of stairs to toilet. The food was mediocre and cold. All that said the staff were all lovely. We were offered free drinks for the table mix up and the show was good. Didn't really see much outside . The 4 stars is for the staff.

A non-luxury Bosphorus cruise.
Pick up was okay- the guide was communicative over WhatsApp and we met right on time. the next pickups took forever. The whole process took longer than what was said in the email/first WhatsApp message. Not sure of why- but it seemed like we were just waiting for people when we should have left them. Traffic was awful (out of the drivers/guide’s/company’s control of course) so that should have been something to think about while waiting for people.
Once we got there it was a long wait to get seated on the ship. I booked a vip window with soft drinks ticket and instead I’m seated at tables for 2 put together for 8 people total. With random people at the back of the boat outside. With lots of people from inside coming around tot take pictures of the views.
It took forever to get my first Coke and I haven’t received it or been offered a second one yet. They came and asked our main dish and nothing yet. When j sat down there was a plate of scoops of stuff but no explanation of what anything was.
At one point they closed the 2 doors so those of us outside weren’t able to hear what was going on much less see. Some of the waiters told people to go up to the 3rd floor to take photos but then wouldn’t do so again. Not that I can see anyways because the show is at the middle with quite a few people in between and then they’re standing up with phones. There should have been an announcement or signs or something telling people where they can take photos.
There’s no explanation of what we’re seeing or going past or anything. There’s also no explanations of who is performing. It’s sudden just someone new or a new group or something. So I have no idea what’s going on except that it’s a waste of my time and money.
I would never recommend this “luxury cruise” to anyone. The only good things were our guide and driver. I haven’t even received the main dish yet and I wish I were back at my hotel. What a waste of money and what a huge cluster.
事業者からの返答
First of all, I sincerely apologize for the experience you had this evening. What you described is certainly not the level of service we aim to provide, especially considering that you booked a VIP window-side table.
We will review everything you mentioned with the boat management and service team, including the seating arrangement, delays in food and drink service, communication during the performances, and the overall organization. It appears there may have been an operational or technical issue this evening, but regardless of the reason, this should not have affected the service you received.
Regarding your seating, the price difference you paid for the VIP window-side table has already been refunded.
However, I do not believe that refund alone is enough after the experience you described.
As an apology from us, we would sincerely like to invite you to join the cruise again **completely free of charge as our guest**. This is not a situation we normally experience, and we would really appreciate the opportunity to provide you with the experience you should have received in the first place.
We will investigate exactly what happened tonight and take the necessary steps with our team to prevent it from happening again.
If you are still in Istanbul, please contact us again through the same number used for your reservation before you leave the city. We would be very happy to arrange another evening for you as our complimentary guest and personally make sure that everything is organized properly this time.
Once again, I am truly sorry for the disappointment and inconvenience you experienced tonight, and thank you for taking the time to explain everything to us in detail.
