This Bosphorus cruise was truly the highlight of my trip to Istanbul. Everything was perfectly organized from start to finish, with no stress or waiting. The private table added a special touch, and the four-course dinner was delicious and beautifully presented. The live show really elevated the atmosphere – the combination of music, performances, and energy on board was amazing. But what truly takes your breath away is the view of Istanbul at night, the bridges, and landmarks as you sail between two continents. A perfect mix of relaxation, great food, and an unforgettable experience. Definitely something worth doing, and I would do it again without hesitation.

A stunning view of Istanbul from the top of this tower; the tour went smoothly. The only issue was a delay in receiving the ticket, which meant we had to wait to start the tour. A pleasant cruise

The overall experience is good. The food is average, and unlimited drinks are subject to the waiter's discretion. They try to sell you the photos they take. The show is good. The boat isn't very big, but it's clean. We requested a baby seat that never arrived.

Enjoy picture-perfect views of Istanbul’s landmarks such as the Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, and Maiden’s Tower from both sky and sea.

I was put a the table in the back with chair with no cover like we were the extra and the rest of venue had nice chairs cover comfortable, the food was not was I was expecting or advertised.we were suppose to leave at 8:30 from the port we left after 9 and after we past the bridge we spent 30 min around the guard coast came 2( not sure why) and at 11:30 we were back in port. Plus I was told initially that the boat is called "amor" went to the boat and I was sent to a different one less luxury that this one. Probably if I would had choose alcohol with dinner would had been that boat. Not sure. Plus is was quite cold and people were allowed ti vape inside the it was smelling bad from those electronic cigarettes.

I generally enjoyed the experience. The staff was great, and the food was fine. However, I was disappointed that photos were taken of us and an album was presented afterward without prior notice. I ended up paying 5,400 TL, as I felt uncomfortable declining in front of my mother, who liked the album. I found the price quite expensive, and I would have appreciated being asked beforehand rather than being put in that situation.

Amazing experience, but get there early. Once the cruisers wake up, everywhere gets very American, very quickly - and not in anyway is that good!!
