A SCAM!! TO AVOID!! They escorted us to our table and it turned out to be a SHARED table! with another couple. Nobody asked us, nor was there any mention of it in the description of the activity. After setting sail half an hour late, the food was served out of time, some people first and others later, without any sense. Between the serving of the dishes there were the so-called "shows" to put it in some way. The waiter was almost non-existent and rude. Terrible food. Bathrooms with an unpleasant smell of vomit and their sinks with the drain clogged, with water passing from one side to the other. Final music in bad taste. A Turkish couple upset with the poor handling of the activity managed to communicate with someone outside and disembarked at one of the ports before concluding the trip. At the end of the evening the waiters appeared and went to the table forcing the participants to rate the activity with 5 stars. They tried to do it with me directly and I got very upset. TO AVOID! A SCAM!

The driver was not at all friendly, very sporty driving!. Activity in English: No guide and no explanation! Too much fog on the windows that we couldn't see outside! Concerning the food: the starters were very good, main course much overcooked, dry and cold. Drinks brought drop by drop despite the all-inclusive package. Very beautiful show, very good music. I moderately recommend this activity.

This is incredible! From the food, the space to walk around on the top floors to the live performances. Has such a great time, everything was worth it, especially great value for money. Compared to a previous boat tour where we couldn’t walk around as much to enjoy the view, had to sit very close to the railings which were a little uncomfortable given how close you are to potentially falling into the river as well as the terrible value for money (had to pay extra for food, snack and drink). Here, it was nothing like that! Plenty of space to walk around and take in the sights (which were even more beautiful at night), food cooked to perfection, live performances for amazing entertainment. All for the same price as the other one we were on. All in all, great value for money, would highly recommend!

We had a fantastic time. The cruise boat was very grand and we walked into a beautifully set up room. We had two waiters and they were amazing. Tufaan was our main waiter and he made us feel extremely welcome, as did the other waiter. The service was outstanding, we were very lucky to have Toofan. The performanced were fantastic! We all loved the food, it was delicious and the portions were just right. The views of Istanbul at night were amazing and we couldn't even tell where the time went. I needed to sort out a last minute transfer and Anar was extremely helpful in helping me to do that. The driver was very good too. This activity was fantastic value for money, we had an incredible time and hope to do it again some day.

The instructions for the meeting points were accurate. I like that everybody had the assigned seating and we were seated by the host. The appetizers and the water was already on the table after we got seated the ship to cough. They started serving rings. There were two options for the dinner. The views were amazing. The program was fun and the DJ at the end was excellent, even with being completely jetlagged and only having 18 hour layover in Istanbul, it was worth the money. it was a great activity. The walk to the dock was amazing. Also, after seeing some sides, taking a walk as the lights were coming on, it was really fun way to get to know Istanbul a little bit. The waiters were attentive, but not overbearing.
