Review of Istanbul’s $41 Bosphorus dinner cruise, with Turkish dances, dinner, DJ music, night views, tips, and honest value advice.
“I really enjoyed the cruise. The entertainment of the dancers was even better than I expected. The food is good (not excellent) but it is also not the real point of the experience. The view was amazing and there is all the time to enjoy it in the breeze. The music also was very nice! And having unlimited drinks is very nice. A special comment for our waiter Dogus who was super helpful and available! He made the experience very pleasant”

“It was very good. Our guide Reham was excellent. She came to introduce herself & told us to see her if we needed anything or had any questions. She also organised a surprise cocktail because it was my birthday. Lovely food, plenty to drink - all drinks inclusive package well worth the money. Good show & boogie after. Definitely recommend.”
Review of Istanbul’s Bosphorus dinner cruise, with Turkish food, live shows, night views, pickup options, costs, and practical booking tips.
“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.”

Review of Cappadocia Turkish Night in Goreme, with cave dining, folk dances, belly dancing, dinner, hotel transfers, and unlimited drinks.
“The driver told me to be ready at 2015 and didn't show up until 2103, after I had Viator call the company (no phone number for them). Needless to say, we arrived after everything was already started and got placed at a table in the back so our view was obstructed. I messaged multiple times during the wait and no one responded. No explanation was provided and no apology given. The show happens during the meal so you're forced to choose between eating (sometimes in the dark) or paying attention. There was also a bonfire in the middle of the meal so be prepared to leave your food unattended to…”
