Dinner and cruise - It was a very good experience. It was very fun. I went on my birthday and the stuff surprosed me with a song and a drink. I was very thoughtful. Everyone was very kind, polite and proficient. And the dj made a very good playlist every one was on their feet dancing. The dancers and the performers were very exciting.

Recommended for short stays - Excellent show. It’s a great way to see several traditional dances then get to dance with the DJ songs afterwards. The meal was good. It’s not gourmet or anything but most banquet type meals aren’t very good. The price for everything you get makes this an exceptional deal!

Traditional food & and dancing on sea - It was a great experience! Food was good and flowing wine all the trip! The waiters were on the go all the time ( hard workers) nice staff! Show was brilliant though not everyone could see the the traditional dancing 💃 because they were performing in the middle section not on stage. It’s a pity cause dancers are pretty good performers! Then we had time & we were free to dance too! I really recommend everyone to experience this traditional event 👍 From Kevin & Vanessa from Malta 🇲🇹

Un scrupulous tour operator amazing dinner cruise - The dinner cruise itself was 5 stars. However the your operator was sly so only rates a 1 star. We booked with hotel pickup. But as we were in the area decided to make our own way to the pickup point. Which we thought worked well for ourselves and meant one less pickup for the tour operator. Towards the end of the tour we message to see where we would be picked up, as we had not been dropped off. I was then asked which hotel I was going too. It was then outside there area. When I checked my booking it now mysteriously said drop off point same as pickup point. If you do go with this company. Make sure you copy/screen shot all communication. We had to go on to getting a taxi to get back to our hotel. A good value trip became an expensive one

Bad experience overall - Worst pickup driver ever. He was on the phone (holding the phone) all the time talking to whoever. He almost closed the sliding door on my girlfriend hand. Tour itself was very crowded the said it is max of 49 people. But it was beyond 100 people. Food was ok. Had to remember the waiter couple of times to get us our drinks. The price compared to what you get is way expensive and I would not recommend it at all.

Scammer - avoid at all costs - ##TLDR - this organizer is a complete scammer. Do not book with them. In fact do not book these trips at all through these online sites - you can buy tickets for the cruise at the dock for less than 5% of the rort they are trying to pull here. Part of the scam is that this person selling tickets here does not actually have anything to do with the boat. He has simply bought tickets and then on sells at inflated price.## We paid $1000 aud for a private table for new years cruise. Before we even got on the boat it was a nightmare - waiting around 1 hour to board in a huddled mass of poor souls. Then got on the boat - we didn't even have an actual table or any seating for us. Organizer told us to wait for a couple of hours while he got boat staff to make us a table. During this time rest of cruise was sitting and eating while we were just standing there. Organizer then told us after two hours that boat crew wouldn't allow a table and we should just sit wherever we could. Sat at a table. Different organizer of that table started yelling at us and threatening us to get off the boat. Argument between two organisers ensues and we are eventually allowed to sit at a table where people have paid $30 a ticket. By this time food is 3 hours cold and inedible. Organizer on boat then simply tells us not his problem and he is just a driver. We text the scammer who took our money off TripAdvisor - he tries to gaslight us that everyone has paid $1000 ( for a couple) to sit at a crowded crappy table and eat bad food. Then stops responding. Reviewing the cruise itself for $30 tickets- pretty standard 3 star experience. Even if food was warm it didn't look appetizing. Entertainment was 3 stars nothing terrible just what you'd expect from an eastern European cruise in 1980. To save fuel cruise actually didn't do much cruising - most of the time was just stationary and moored about 50 meters from shore.
