Review of Istanbul’s 3-hour Bosphorus dinner cruise with Turkish food, live shows, night views, drinks, pickup options, and practical tips.
“The dinner cruise was good in general: the food, the entertainment, the service, and the night scenery. The price seemed to go up as the event date got closer so book early. The only negative thing is the hotel pick up. If you know how to get to the dock (its' really easy, just take T1 tram and go to the last stop at Kabatas), just go there yourself as traffic is really terrible in Istanbul and the van has to go around to pick up guests from different hotel. Originally the ticket says the show starts at 8 pm. We didn't get the whats app text the day of…”

Review of Istanbul’s Bosphorus dinner cruise with Turkish dance, three-course meal, unlimited soft drinks, hotel pickup, and night views.
“The Staff was nice and hard-working, the views of Istanbul at night are gorgeous, the reason for my low rating is because they packed the rooms, shoulder to shoulder, no mask enforcement or any other safety measures, the rooms were so packed that we couldn't even see the dances, the staff was serving or clearing out the tables while the dances were happening and the people stood up and blocked the views, the food was tasteless but that is expected on this settings. They advertise "Safety Measures" it is the first thing below the pictures and above the overview on the Viator and TripAdvisor page but none of those are…”
