The good , The bad and the ugly . The views from the cruise at night to Istanbul is amazing . The shows are ok , just ok . The service is bad and the food is horrible . It’s super long . It’s not worth the money or the time . Go stand on Galata bridge for 10 minutes and you will get the same views but way cheaper and in much shorter time .

One of the best nights I had was on this river cruise. The ambiance is amazing and coming from Bangladesh, I thoroughly enjoyed the rich cultural diversity that Turkey had to offer. The traditional Sufi dance was mesmerizing, to say the least. The exotic dancer was absolute fire! The food was okay and the service was really good. The best part was when all the different people from different nationalities danced together under one roof. A truly memorable night!

Took a dinner cruise on our trip. The boat is very posh and has good seating. The staff is very polite and helpful but struggled to understand English. The dinner was lavish but unfortunately lacked vegetarian options. It was a great spread for non vegetarians. There were additional options of tea, fruits and deserts as a paid extra. The entertainment was great with fantastic local music and dance performances. There was some great singing and the audiences were greatly enjoying it. It’s a good way to relax and spend three hours of the evening

One of the best cruise party I experienced. The ambiance was great. The shows were excellent with turkish cultural dance and belly dancing . It ended with a dance party were everyone f from all diversity danced the night away.

Bad experience. The boat was overboocked. Some people who had payed the ticket had no place and had to live. They delayed the cruise for 1,5h No space between the tables and no difference between VIP table and standard or low budget table. They say all drinks included but they ask 50 Euro for 1 glass of whisky (50 ml - 50 Euro!!!) No fireworks from the boat, only what you can see from restaurants (verry few). Also not verry clean... Verry small menu... Unlimited soda, wather, wine and beer. The rest of the drinks are with money.

We made a tour on the semiramis melody. It was awfull. The food was poor quality, the show really bad (music extremely loud, same bad singer and dancers doing the same thing during hours). Plus they made you paid every beverages even the service without warning you before serving you. People were smoking in the boat, it felt like we were in smokehouse. And the boat look so old. Save your money if you are in Istanbul and go directly eat in good restaurant.

It's advisable to go on this dinner cruise instead of a day cruise because you get beautiful illuminated views of all the mosques and historical buildings at night

Just awful ! From timing (more than 1 hour late) to sitting (close to a plastic window and an aircond device) to eating (plastic bread, chicken nugget!!!!) … a total disaster and nightmare. If I could have put a 0 I would have done it ! Don’t try it’s not honest

A very nice experience with Bosporus cruise dinner Much romantic and interesting tour ever heaving in Istanbul Dance and Turkish cultural Show are available on the cruise Fish and chicken items served here with salad and Lantal soap Sweets are also serve there coffe tea and other drinks are available here nice place to visit there In sea with most romantic memories you can visit istunbules most important places during dinner

The food was Okey and the entertainment was Okey (not amazing). The views from the boat were AMAZING!!! I would definitely recommend the cruise!

The worst experience ever. They skam you for All your money. Dont do it!!

I bought a dinner Cruise for my parents and me through trip advisor, we followed the instructions from email and came there on time. Nobody arrived to pick us up. Someone said the boat might have gotten cancelled, they never refunded me and I had to pay again, 50 for each. I don't recommend it. I saw people coming up and booking directly at the boat, I think it's a smarter idea if you really wish to take that cruise bc if your boat gets cancelled like mine you will simply lose $$$. Whoops.

Everything was perfect information about our booking pick up times from the hotel etc where done via WhatsApp the dinner cruise was really good our waiter looked after us getting us drinks whenever we needed food was good small portions but plenty the entertainment was also very good I would recommend

The performances were alright and so was the food. If you haven't done the cruise at dusk before and are with friends it may be a bit more fun. Please note there is a photographer who will offer to take ur pics and eventually get an album with several of your pics and each pic will be charged for. Amidst all the chaos I just paid for the pics and the album..later realised perhaps I could have said no to the album. For 5 pics and an album , she charged me 750 lira

The cruise itself was fun. The entertainment was good. I couldn't eat the food due to a food allergy they forgot I had and didn't bring the food onboard. Most of the staff was nice but the man taking payments was mean and cruel. After more research, I realized this was more expensive than others. I wouldn't use this cruise line again.

The service and the boat was excellent. Clean toilet and friendly staff. The food was unfortunately not in same category, you can do better.

My parents took the dinner tour last week and they are terribly intoxicated. They are in HOSPITAL and have not recovered yet. This is terrible, they ruined my parents' trip in Turkey and now their health is in danger.

Food nice , friendly staff & interesting performance

I celebrated my birthday on this Bosphorus dinner cruise 2019. The birthday cake was great! The show was good. I had a blast dancing the night away with the belly dancer and the guests!!!

The ambiance was very nice, but the food quality and taste was so- so, the belly dance were awesome and beautiful, they were very entertaining, taking pictures from outside were dark unless we met up with other boat and the bridge, it was a wonderful moment that cost 30Euro / person for non alcohol drinks, worth to try once you are visiting Istanbul

Awesome tour & fantastic service. Well beyond expactation. Fully recommend

You book a 4-5 hours Istanbul Luxury Bosphorus Dinner Cruise with traditional shows - what you get is a very old standard tourist boat, chicken clubs and a very poor shows, least but not last - one hour boat trip. The trip itself is only worth one star, but one extra star because the personnel on the boat and the hotel shuttle. For less money you get a better boat, better shows, better dinner, and you get what you book - if you choose one of the Arabian operated tourist cruises.

Honestly I had a good time overall, the experience was fun. But the food was terrible, it’s a dinner cruise, I would’ve rather ate before and went to a cruise without food.
