Great night view and good time on the water - A night cruise is one of those "must do" touristy things that are not always very good but this one was a positive surprise. The night view is spectacular and the staff and entertainers worked very hard to make sure we had a good time and were looked after well and didn't have to worry about getting there and getting back to the hotel, safely, afterwards. This is just one thing to do and there are many other "must do" interesting things in Istanbul but after sampling some other tours, this was the best value one.

Highly recommended. - Nice food and great dance performance. Must visit in Istanbul. Services are fantastic. I was arranged to a seat closed to the center dance floor, gave me a chance to watch the dance show in close

Very enjoyable - the food... - Very enjoyable - the food and entertainment were really good, the transport to and from was perfect and the boat excellent. The views of the banks of the Bosphorous are beautiful (even better at night than during the day). A lot of people seemed to enjoy the chance to get up and disco dance at the end of the night. Only minor criticism is that perhaps the belly dancer was given a little too much time to 'work' the audience, instead of spending more time on the other dancers - would have liked more of the 'whirling Dervish' in particular.

It could have been a 5-star cruise if the hotel pick up was on time - 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 to confirm pick up time until I sent them a message. We were told that the van would come between 7:15 to & 7:30. We waited almost until 8:30 pm before it showed up. In panic, I whats apped Viator and the guy could not track down the driver. He then said the show did not start until 8:30 pm and promised they would not leave without us. I felt a total waste of time waiting to be picked up as I could have been doing more sight seeing as it was our last day in Istanbul. By the time we arrived, we were one of the last group, people were already eating. The cruise didn't leave the dock until quite late. If they knew the traffic was bad in Istanbul they should have come picked us up earlier. We were hungry and worried of missing the boat. The organization was bad, but other than that once on the cruise it was all good. The cruise didn't finish until 12:30am, much later than advertised. I was outside and saw that the cruise was circling around and even stopped at one point, may be allowing people to dance longer purposely.

Fun but smokey. - Beautiful views. Food was pretty good. Unfortunately, I don't know where it was coming from but we felt like we were inhaling smoke for 3 hours.

Paid for gold but treated like Silver. - Transportation promised to do hotel pickup but wr actually had to walk to a nearby bus station and join a hot and crowded bus. The cruise was OK but alot of confusion about what pkge we purchased. The servers brought our appetizers out last they said because we were "silver" even though I showed them my ticked said gold, she didn't speak much English. Our table was close to the dance floor so it turned out OK in the end. I would not recommend this company.
