It was awful and almost ruining my family night🤦🏻
I reserved private table in dinner cruise night in istanbul but they gave me public table at first. After too many complaining about it, qthey gave me a private table but the people who picked me up and was in charge of reservation just told me it’s your own problem and the fact that you reserved private table (which was clearly mentioned in my voucher) doesn’t make any sense, therefore you should call tripadvisor. HOW CAN I USE PUBLIC TABLE WITH A 3 YEARS OLD CHILD?? my first & last experience with tripadvisor !! Didn’t expect that at all.

Great experience!
Great boat, good food, entertaining. An excellent way to see the city from the water at night!
C
Great experience
The food was great and the entertainment wonderful. The city looks beautiful by night from the water
M
Average and not good for family trip. If you wanna get drunk and spend vulgur time then its for you.
Food needs upgrade, none of the sector was good, little too much woman belly dance for the family. Overall not happy. Shuttle pick up was a little too much.

Cruise.
The person who welcomed us at the meeting point should have informed us that we would not disembark at the same location. We are foreigners. This is not our language, and it was difficult to return to our hotel. He also did not tell us that he would not stay with us on the boat.

Do not book with viator.
DO NOT BOOK WITH VIATOR, THEY CANNOT HELP WITH WRONG DATES. I've always had good experiences with Viator in the past, but have one wrong date and they refuse to help nor escalate the problem.

Enjoyable Evening
We were picked up from hotel before the stated time, and then went around many other hotels picking up other guests. We got to the boat and were shown to a lovely table for two with a window seat. The entertainment started almost immediately and lasted over the whole trip. The food was ok, but not gourmet. Overall a fun evening.
