the cruise was very nice, the Bosphorus at night it was magical. I recommend this tour because the night in the Bosphorus is something to remember. Other words it is beautiful experience.

Wonderful cruise, good food and great entertainment

Beautiful scenery on the Bosphorous. Food was reasonable. I wasn't expecting so many people. The dancing show was on the upper deck but the stage view was limited due to the number of people in front of us.

Chaotic beginning with poor service. Never got drink order even after several requests. Last hour was a total waste of time as only watching other customers dance. Surely better cruises out there.

Neverthless I have confirmed my pick-up time by calling plan tour agency, which was at 7:30, and gave them the specified hotel room number, no-one came to pick me up. I have waited so long at the hotel room. I have called the plan our agency emrgency contact number for five times with no answer. I was very disaapointed.

Very pleasant - fine food and show.

Excellent dinner and dancing. Was a lot of fun. Worth going again

The food was good. The people at the table were very interesting-from all over the world. The entertainment was wonderful. Never thought I would be on a dancing on the Bosphorus.

Because I was a mature traveler, traveling on my own, I think that it was for this reason, I became the privileged guest of the captain of the ship. I was treated like a queen, with privileges that some of the other guests did not have. I met some very special people, and absolutely and totally enjoyed my cruise on the Bosphorous! I would most definitely do this cruise again, with, or without being a guest of the captain :-

The cruise, dinner and belly dance show was exceptional. The dinner was table service which made it nice and easy without having to fight queues. Istanbul by night, you've gotta do it!

Same show as the Dinner cruise

This was a very enjoyable evening. We were impressed with the organization and efficiency of the entire staff we felt welcomed and were treated very well. The food was quite good and served hot to everyone at the same time the entertainment was both instructive and hilarious the view along the river with all of the buildings illuminated was actually worth the price of the tour. Our only complaint was that it began so late 8 pm and was about an hour too long. Many other guests would disagree with us - they were dancing their hearts out after the entertainment.

It was over-all a disappointment. 1 To get to the pier, you would need to JAYWALK across a main road with fast-paced vehicles The travel agency provided a vehicle for hotel pick-up, but we had no idea that the vehicle will not lead us straight to the pier we had to cross that dangerous road in the middle of the night. I almost got hit by a car. 2 Food was terrible Turkey is known for its superb delicacies, but what was offered to us was visually unappetizing and just plain unsavory and hardly edible. 3 Cruise was jampacked. There was no elbow room whatsoever. No personal space to speak of. I was expecting a spacious dining hall, but we were cramped into a long table and forced to mingle with people seated just an inch or two next to us. A can of sardines - that was how it was. Extremely uncomfortable. 4 Cultural performance left much to be desired I was hoping the cultural performance would redeem the entire Bosphorus Cruise experience - but I was too optimistic for my own good. When you think of a Belly-dancing show in Turkey - wouldn't you naturally expect a Turkish woman to perform? But no, what we got was an Asian woman. I am Asian. I don't intend to malign my own race. In fairness to the performer, she was good. But since we were in Turkey, we were expecting a more authentic Turkish show. 5 Limited viewing of cultural performance The only ones who could actually watch the entirety of the performance were those who were fortunate enough to get seated around the stage. The rest of us had to stand. What is annoying is that we were asked to return to our seats when we got a bit closer to the stage. We hardly saw the performance. I told one of the staff that we had to approach because we could barely see the show, and he pointed to the televisions positioned in selected areas, which also captures the entire performance. Why the hell would we watch the show on TV when the show is right before us?

BAD EXPERIENCE. WASTE OF MONEY.

The Bosphorus at night is breath-taking to see the landmarks and waterfront houses illuminated is really a cool experience - I've previously gone on a sunset cruise and preferred the experience at night. This tour offers a hotel pick up and drop off, which was a nice perk. The boat we were on was on the higher-end, spacious with working, non-stinky toilets and wasn't filled to capacity. The entertainment was funny the belly dancing with audience participation was especially cringe-worthy - men, beware. Drinks were house wines, beers and spirits and were served throughout the evening. The food was very mediocre and I fell ill afterwards a major ding for the tour. Only other ding was that the tour felt like it was an hour too long it started at 8:30 and we docked around midnight.
