    You pay 70 euro for 4 menu with alcohol, they say that local beer is includet and at the end you need to pay for 4 beers efes (local beer) because is not included. The food is verry bad and inside is very hot and ac is broken. Worst dinner ever. Is better to make this trip without dinner is mutch cheeper and with the rest of the money you go and eat at the best restaurant in town.

    Good fun and great price Good communication from booking company via WhatsApp We were picked up from our hotel in a minibus and took us about 45min drive to the port, slightly out of town There wasn't so many guests due to covid, maybe 20 people, but we were all taken care of well Food was good and drinks were free flowing as promised. The main area was an indoor sheltered deck with the dancing in the middle but you could wander around the boat and see nice views from the open air top deck. Entertainment was lots of fun. Didn't talk about the sights at all, it was all about the show. Tips were welcome for belly dancer and there is an on board photographer - at the end you are offered them for an extra 5 euros each. You can pay everything except tips on credit card. We were dropped off at our hotel at the end and got back about midnight as promised.

    It was an amazing experience. Please take a note that if you are going in your own car then please find parking by yourself. The food was good, service was outstanding and all the actors who participated in the different shows did a marvelous job. We really enjoyed as a family. We celebrated our kid birthday on the cruise and arrangement was really nice. Highly recommended

    The shows were not that great. Food choices were not that great either. Half the time staffs were tips hungry. Organisers asked people to give them top reviews and even took their phones to give themselves top reviews. This must be the reason they were rated top on google. After all we rely on google reviews to decide on our choices and if we all did not contribute to stop fake and organisers fed reviews then there will be no informed decisions. Please give honest and true reviews and don’t let anybody influence your opinions. Just because they are manipulating reviews i will not trust them

    I joined the Dinner Cruise Bosphorus 3 times and I send my friends whenever they come to Istanbul. Once we also went for a birthday and it was a magical night! The MC is great, you'll be entertained for the whole night. They're also very kind during reservation and punctual at pick up location. I'd definitely recommend it to everyone coming to Istanbul to spend a unique night on the bosphorus!

    Well, we found the food very poor: no rice or vegetables with fish only a half-potato which was cold, no bread with the meal and what to say about dessert... Such a shame.We could have dinner somewhere else, eat better and much more than it and paid less than the half of it... That's daylight robbery!!! The dancer girl was not even Turkish and the dance became very embarrassing as we came in couple (we must go outside of the boat to avoid this ridiculous show..). The staff was rude as they asked us to give a tip because it was not included in the price we paid... (65€ per person) and the table was not even next to or in front of the stage, it was not what we expected. The photographer asked us to pay 1.500 turkish lira for a photography of both of us which was too much expensive I've never seen that before.. And finally, it smelled very bad inside the boat which was unpleasant! I've never recommand to spend an evening on your boat...

    Good dance shows and quick service by waiters to arrange different menus There are few points to mention, though: 1. Not good choice if u r going with kids. Loud music make them disturbed and crying. 2. They ask you to pay in cash.. if u say by card, u have to pay an extra 500TL. Wow. Luckil, i ha a balance o the card, s I got saved. It was not mentioned in booking info that you need to pay by cash else extra pay needed. 3. Professional photographer takes photos of people and they create album insome timee, afterwards they chase you to 'buy' it.Didn'tt feel good as people think this is just fun activity by tour company for ad. They should first tell people that with their permission the photographer will take photo n create an album for you. I saw many people got surprised b the hefty bill for their albu, which theydidn'tt ask for. 4. Same withJokerr.. dancing withJokerr, then photos and then forcin them to pay.. 5. Even outside the toilet, one guy offers a paper napkin, n in favor, expects tip. What a shame. 6. If u are not sitting close to the stage, it is hard to see the program. In other areas, all people and waiters keep running, and you struggle to see it. 7. I understand tips are not included in this tick, t but right from waiters till dancers,all expect you to pay it.. i dont understand, then why do we pay such a costly booking in the n first place.

    We booked a VIP dinner selection with unlimited drinks for 70€ per person for a 3 hour dinner cruise (6th Jan). Decent good (even the VIP menu was okay). Drinks served were only local alcohol (no foreign brands). The performances were great and the artists were brilliant! The view from the cruise was beautiful but there was no guided tour (it's simply a dinner cruise and no information on the city or the history). Also, the cruise was nice and looked pretty. Overall a good experience and I would recommend it for a couple or family. P.S: For a solo person I would recommend buying a 15€ ticket which provides you with the same perks (without the alcohol and some food items)

  • 4/5 Mariaym H. 8 months ago on Google • 28 reviews
    Food was lovely Live entertainment was good Ok so what I don't like is that they ask you to give the service charge as a tip and they expect not to be lower than 100 liras and so you pay the complete amount then they ask than the entertainment people they ask you separately. In the beginning the camera man follows you take a nice picture then in the end coming back with the album and asking price 1,300 liras 🤣 In the desert if you order things like baklava or kunafa there is a charge of 250 liras. Is not cheap but you will enjoy yourself guaranteed 😜

    Its a shame they even exsist! Offering all kind of things, making promises and appointments and only 10h before pick up time (read; late at night) telling us the tour wasnt available and we had to do another tour. Which we werent interested in. When we asked for more info (as we felt being scammed) we got very to none info and the tone of voice/communication changed. Glad we canceled everything, didnt pay a dime in advance and made our own plans already for the next day! Update: And as you see in the comment, that is exactly how they are. If they get called out on their behavior.....

    Hi I wanna say that I love the dinner, the boat, the set up, the dancers and the view Just wanna give 2 suggestion 1- have a better vegetarian menu, with traditional food like couscous and eggplant (40% of India is Vegetarian, and many new vegans every day) 2- Inform clients first that if they pay by card the rate exchange goes higher Thank you. It was amazing!

    Average food. We were looking forward for good views but the boat doesn't even get close to the old city. The atmosphere was good - it starts with slow romantic vibe and ends up as dancing party. Performances were fine. However, we were charged wrongly 18% more when we paid with card so be careful. After talking to the manager we were returned the money and, as the manager claimed, the waiter was fired.

    Great performance and wonderful guest service, from the moment I made the booking online until we were dropped off at our hotel, after the show… and everything in between. Evening highlights included the whirling dervish and belly dancing. The entire cast of singers and dancers are very talented!

    As a lone traveler going to Turkey for surgery doing anything is daunting but coming aboard this cruise was fantastic from start to finish they are all wonderful and took care of me still feeling fragile a week post op. The food is amazing the views are just gorgeous and the entertainment keeps you more than smiling it gets even those of us feeling tender up dancing! Would reccomend to anyone they are a great cruise to sail with the staff are all so helpful and lovely 😊

  • 3/5 Cerys S. 10 months ago on Google
    We were in the shuttle for over an hour before we started our journey to the boat. By the time we arrived, everyone had eaten their starters and we were sat on a table that wasn’t even ready, and was very far from the stage. Bring a jacket, get very chilly out in the deck. Keep in mind that any pictures they take of you will be charged. About £6 a photo and it’s only printed. Or they’ll bring you an album with all of them for €100. Service was slow, to make the most of the unlimited soft drinks, I recommend just going to the bar and asking for drinks. The starter wasn’t great, driest bread I have ever eaten. Warm water. Main was lovely. Moist chicken and Turkish meatball, rice and salad. Perfect portion size for us but for a larger guest would definitely not be filling. Dessert was a small piece of baklava, 2 thin apple slices and a slice of orange. If you want a proper dessert, you’ll have to pay €8-10 but looked worth it. The paid dessert were huge and extravagant. The entertainment was good, turkish dancing, belly dancing and then DJ at the end of the night. The view was lovely from the deck and we wish we got to spend more time out there. As the music was very loud and the rest of the cruise dragged on a bit after the food/entertainment stopped. The staff’s desperation towards the money grabbing became very evident towards the end of the night, ruined the experience for us. Was disappointed at the end when they put tip trays on each table, which said ‘tip isn’t included in price’ on them. One of the waiters came and checked the table next to us’ tip tray, whilst he was sitting there. He was that it was empty and gestured for the man to put a tip in there. Made us incredibly uncomfortable, so we went outside to avoid an awkward confrontation. Overall the food was edible, good entertainment, but not recommended for families. Be aware that you will be pestered to spend money.

  • 1/5 Bart A. 1 year ago on Google
    Very bad service. Booked a morning cruise for my wife's birthday. All seemed fine until 2230 hrs the night before the tour. Received a WhatsApp message saying "sorry no morning tour, now you go on a short one..." Felt very disappointed and canceled the whole plan and tour. Felt a bit dodgy from the bigging and luckily we didn't pay anything yet.

  • 3/5 Saeed M. 1 year ago on Google
    I chose this dinner cruise because of the reviews. A short definition for our night could be "just fine". The starter, food, and dessert all were normal, and I can't say they were among the bests. I don't know why so many people gave 5 stars. Giving 5 stars means that the program was among the best experiences you had (being generous in this case, could be misleading for others). Just be aware that if you want to tip, they ask for tip 3 times: first waiters ask for tip (I thought this is for all waiters and dancers together), then belly dancer and finally all other dancers together. You might consider splitting the tip for all of them. The liquor price in the bar is crazy. They asked 20 euros for one shot of a cheap brand of whiskey.

  • 5/5 Sufiyan M. 1 year ago on Google
    Our time on this dinner cruise was fantastic, right from the get go we were treated very well. As soon as we entered the cruise it was a grand affair, the table was decorated exquisitely and the professional waiters were at your service, the dance, music and the performances were totally worth it and was very entertaining, the placement of the tables are such that every guest will have a perfect view of the centre stage, the owner Erhan is very warm and welcoming and has a good interest of the guest at heart, Mist visit in Istanbul totally worth it.

  • 3/5 joseph s. 10 months ago on Google
    Staff was great but food was marginal. Dinner rolls were in a sealed cellophane bag sealed like out of a box. Water was a plastic collapsible container. See pics. Appetizers good , main course fair. Desert was very good. Shows were good but a bit cheesy. Views of harbor were nice. Very touristy but what do tourists do but touristy things. Again excellent staff.

    We had the most wonderful experience at Bhosphorus Cruise. Mr. Erhan extended warm welcome and looked after for every possible comfort of the guests. The food & the performances were amazing and the cruise staff was very courteous and polite. This was the best experience we had in Istanbul. The prices were very affordable and reasonable. You all must try this as i will go again for this trip. Thank you Mr. Erhan for the hospitality,

  • 1/5 Nadine H. 1 year ago on Google
    This is one of the worst experiences that I have ever had. The food wasn’t good at all. The taste was bad and was very cold. The entertainment is below expectations. Towards the end of the show,they decided to make fireworks confetti which was about to burn my hair . My friends and I had panic attacks. Not recommend at all.
