stanbul is fascinating - walk the streets of Istanbul day and night. imbue yourself with the hirtoria and culture as best as possible, and experience that in that place of the world much of the history of the world is decided, especially of the West. To tour the Bosphorus is an unforgettable experience. indelible from the memory. I want to clarify that my trip to Turkey happened in February 2020

Best Bosphorus Cruise with Entertainment in Istanbul! - I did two Turkish night cruises whilst in Istanbul and this one was by far the best! The boat was spacious, modern and it had different levels both inside and out. The dinner was good. However the entertainment was sensational. Classic Turkish dances mixed with modern entertainment. The audience was engaged at all times and the performers were very talented. The tables were positioned so it was easy for everyone to see. The transfers were also efficient. Definitely the best form of evening entertainment in Istanbul!

An incredible night! - We decided to take the last minute walk and how good we did. It was a wonderful dinner with good food and drinks at will. We had a lot of fun with table neighbors from all over the world and we danced and drank a lot of water... Don't stop doing it.

Average - Average food... Belly dance begins around 10.30pm and lasts for 1 hr.
From 8.30pm to 10.30pm food and alcohol is served as per the option selected.
Nothing extra ordinary in this tour.

Another view of Istanbul - Dinner whose greatest value is the view of both sides of the city of Istanbul both at sunset and dusk.
Seeing several of the emblematic buildings in half light and then illuminated is what takes the night.
Dinner was not bad, keep in mind that you sit with unknown people (who help to socialize and meet people from other countries), then there are several dances supposedly typical which did not get much my attention, I felt too touristic but well, it was part of the folklore.
In the end it's more than less but don't expect wonders either

Mehta - Very over rated, highly commercialized. Scheduled departure was 20:20 but the boat did not leave until 21:10.
Costs can vary from agent to agent.
I paid US $ 92, which includes pick up and drop from and to hotel. They ask for you hotel details while booking.
After you have booked your confirmation can come with a note informing you that your hotel is not in the city limits so pls find your way to the pier. For a first time visitor this can be very daunting although most taxi drivers know the city well and the ride can vary in cost depending on what route the taxi driver takes. So watch out for tour operator, I took the one which was recommended by TripAdvisor.
Once the pier is reached the boat is easy to find. But apart identifying its highly over rated.
Very poor seating arrangement, table meant for six people had seat eight, very tight squeeze with no room left to maneuver. All 4 people had to get up and move out for last one to visit the toilet.
Air conditioning was very poor / inadequate consider the tour operator had people packed in like sardines.
Salads and starters were pre laid very unprofessionally. Alcoholic beverages were unlimited but that is probably the reason for price difference.
The open upper decks are highly recommended as that’s where it really happens. By the time you have had a couple of drinks every thing begins to look different and one stops looking at short comings.
Istanbul is blessed with natural beauty and the cruise by itself is A Must but for cold food and very poorly organized trip.

Avoid this tour. This was a... - <p>Avoid this tour. This was a disappointment. We arrived with the tour company's van pick up service. Dinner was unorganized and cold. You feel like you are eating at the high school cafeteria. The dancing show starts after dinner service and you have to go upstairs. Unless you are lucky enough to get in the front row, you can see nothing. The belly dancer must needs lessons, all in all, a big disappointment and not worth the money.</p>
