Great Show & Food - The meal was fabulous, coupled with a professional attentive server. The shoe is also good. I especially loved the violinist.
My only recommendaction is that you start at 7p or 730p. 830p is rather late.

Good but some small improvements could make it better - The Turna dinner cruise was booked through our hotel at 60 euros a head.
The Bosphorus river cruise and dinner offered some truly memorable moments, but also had a few small drawbacks that affected the overall enjoyment.
The food was excellent, showcasing the flavours of Istanbul. Each dish was well-prepared and delicious, making the meal a highlight of the evening. The young lady who served our drinks and food was superb, providing attentive and friendly service throughout the cruise. Her energy and enthusiasm added to the positive atmosphere. The entertainment was also a great addition, keeping us engaged (with audience participation along the way) and enjoying the evening.
However, the experience was slightly impacted by the smoky environment. Whilst smoking might have been confined to the outside of the vessel, with the doors open, the cigarette smoke unfortunately drifted inside, affecting the air quality and comfort for non-smokers. Additionally, the tables were packed too tightly together, making it feel crowded and somewhat limiting our personal space.

Very nice evening, just small suggestions - The food and decor on deck was great, and the service of the friendly, efficient staff was amazing!
We would have liked to see more performances on deck, and the waiting time between shows should be less to keep the audience engaged. Another suggestion would perhaps be that the history behind each performance can be shared more clearly. Otherwise, very nice evening! Thank you!

Total Rip off - I can't say enough bad things about it. Just don't go.
1. Dinners was really awful. The appetizers were bad, instead of fresh bread, they gave you packaged American dinner rolls, the fish was from frozen, the chicken was blah, and I looked around the room and almost no ibe touched dessert.
2. The drink package was a scam: we paid 20 euros extra for ",limited drinks" package. It implied the "limited" part was limited to local alcoholic beverages, but I asked and they said you get 5 drinks. I did the math and 5 drinks at a bar would be 50 euros, so we did it. It was qctually 2 child sized drinks, so really one drink at a bar. We paid 20 euros for what would have cost 10 at a bar. We complained and nothing was done.
3. The entertainment was good, but set to modern music and mostly seemed like an excuse for the dancers to go around and get tips. One of the "dancers" looked like he was just a manager in a suit and went around dancing with people for tips. It was weird. The acts with the men seemed more traditional and were set to more traditional music, but the female acts had less traditional dress and I felt more like it was a Turkish high school talent show trying to blend modern and traditional, but making a mess of it so that it came off with a bit of a "used car salesman" feel
4. The boat ride itself was nice, but I think you cab do the same boat ride for 10 euros from the docks.
Save yourself money and time and have yourself a nice dinner somewhere else, then take a 10 euros might time party boat
