Tripadvisor review:
Not sure what the bad reviews are about. For the price you are being picked up and dropped off from your hotel, food is good (choose from chicken, fish or beef), quality entertainment, GORGEOUS views around the Bosphorus!!! There are three levels on this boat. You are free to move around.
The only improvements needed are--sometimes it was a bit hard to see the performers. It would be nice if they could move around the room a bit more, perhaps go down the aisles. Also, there are photographers there that take your pictures and sell them to you at the end for a really cheap price, only if you want of course. However the actually photographers are a bit aggressive. They should pick up on people's cues and leave them alone if photos aren't wanted. They photographer kept telling me to "show teeth." I NEVER show teeth in pictures and told him so, but he kept insisting.
A little annoyance from a photographer did not deter me though. My mother and I had a wonderful time as did the people around us. This really was underpriced.

Great experience!
Organized pick up and drop off. The dinner was tasty. Dance show was great! Lots of fun overall. The views at night were really spectacular. Definitely recommend this for anyone looking to knock out multiple experiences in a short time. We were only in Istanbul for a day, so it was really great for us!

Great views, entertainment and service.
A bit of a cattle call even during the pandemic. The food is pretty marginal. But we really enjoyed the cruise, views, entertainment and service. Unlimited alcohol package was well worth it.

Great experience
Me and my wife took this trip when were advised to do so from our concierge at the Ciragan palace Kempinski .. The boat picked us up from our hotel pier which was really cool.. We were welcomed by Mr. Alper who is a very nice guy whom explained to us about many things in istanbul.. The show was great especially the bellydancer , food can be better and sitting on deck is a great experience with all those nice buildings surrounding the boot from both sides.. Overall ,one of the best night cruises in Istanbul..

A delightful way to end the day!
We made the mistake of only adding one day to our cruise ending in Istanbul. A minimum of 3 days should be considered. After a full day walking tour of the Old town we decided to go big and booked a 3 hour dinner cruise on the Bosphorus. We chose the non alcoholic version but many had all you can drink options including beer wine or raki. We were picked up at our hotel on time and shared a van with several others going to the cruise. We entered the boat a little bit before sunset and were greeted with a plate of Turkish appetizers that were very good with a nice basket of bread. The choice of entree was fish, chicken or meatballs. My wife had chicken and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had the fish which was tasty but was the whole fish so you had to work at it. I would probably try the meatballs next time. The cruise heads up the Bosphorus toward the Black Sea. You pass many bridges crossing from the European side to the Asian side and pass many lit up buildings and Mosques. The entertainment included an emcee and 5 dancers that included a Whirling Dervish demo, traditional Turkish dancing and of course belly dancing. The show had several different sections and the emcee kept the audience involved. The best part for me was the flags of all the different countries on the tables with 6 continents represented. We had opportunities to dance together with our own little United Nations. It was a very good value too.

Great night on Labors Day in Istanbul
I would like to give this review a 5 because the fact the people were scared to go to Istanbul or to the city.We have never felt so safe in their hands. The entertainment,the food,the pick up from the hotel until we came out we were really looked after. The weather was also good.I am so glad we went to Istanbul. Thank you Bosphorus Tours Istanbul! The view of the Bosphorus was amazing!

Best night out in Istanbul
I spent a whole week in Istanbul, with my wife and 15Mo baby. We went almost all the tourist attractions: mosques, museums, gardens, istiklal St, outlets, malls, etc. Of all the activities we have done, our dinner night on the Bosphorus was the best night we had. The program is very nice, the staff are extremely kind and helpful, and their customer service is great. They make their personal responsibility to help. I definitely recommend.

Awesome memories that don't burn a hole in your pocket!
We hired the Bosphorus Tours for all our tourist excursions in Istanbul. Even though the tourist companies in Istanbul are notorious for ripping you off but Mr.Tugrul at Bosphorus Tours was a an absolute delight! Despite being out of station, he guided us through various options with packages which easily beat the commercial companies by HALF! His team was professional and warm. We took a full day tour at the Princess' Islands, a full day tour to the major attractions around the Blue Mosque and we took a tour of Bosphorus by Night. Each expedition was worth every penny paid. To top it off, I forgot my mobile in one of their buses after one of the tours and the driver actually found it and got it back to our hotel within an hour!

Agréablement surprise
J'ai pensé à un dinner spectacle en croisière pour faire plaisir à mon mari qui nous a rejoint pour le weekend sans pour autant me ruiner.. et lisant les avis des testeurs, j'étais un peu sceptique. De un, les prix annoncés sont exorbitants vu la qualité des prestations et de deux, j'avais un bébé de 2 ans que j'ai jamais ramené en spectacle.. A mon bonheur et merci tripadvisor, je tombe sur une offre de BTI que je contacte à 4h du matin par WhatsApp. Au réveil je trouve une réponse et on a continué l'échange, on me confirme ma réservation pour le soir même. Tout me semblait très facile et correct pour être vrai. Mais à ma surprise, tout était presque parfait, le bateau n'était pas géant (en cas de fréquents déplacements avec le bébé) et ressemblait aux photos envoyées par la personne avec qui j'ai échangé (et qui écrit en parfait anglais sans la moindre ambiguïté). La sonorisation et le volume était corrects même si nous étions à une rangée de l'orchestre et parfaitement situés pour voir la totalité des shows. Le buffet était très correct (surtout d'après les avis des autres testeurs), mon mari qui n'aime pas trop le vacarme et volumes élevés a apprécié la soirée et mon bébé a dansé comme pas possible et est restée eveillée jusqu'à environ 1h du matin l'heure de retour à l'hotel par les soins du mini bus tout comme il nous a récupéré au début.. les deux rives du Bosphores révélaient des bijous illuminés toute la soirée que ce soit de la baie vitrée ou de la terrasse du Bateau.. tout ça mesdames et messieurs pour le prix de 35 euros par personne et bébé en gratuite. PS : je souligne la serviabilité de la personne sur WhatsApp qui m'a même assistée à trouver d'autres tours avec d'autres companies même si cela ne relève pas de ses compétences.. Merci !

Amazing boat tour for a special day
I have booked the dinner tour online for my mom's 70th birthday. They are extremely helpful, responded fast and helped with my special requirements for a custom cake. I emailed them what I wanted and they made it happen :-) The evening was perfect, they picked us up from the hotel on time, took us to the boat. The boat is great, food was good, drinks keep coming and the show is nice. The best part was the celebration of the birthday. They brought the cake with all the sparkling candles and the presenter announced her special day. The show kept on going after. To sum it up, it was a memorable evening for all of us, I can highly recommend them for a tour.

Amazing New Year's Eve Party
We had the chance of spending New Year's Eve in Istanbul and we decided that renting a boat for a private party would be a good idea. We were 70 people and were considering different companies, but I am really happy that we chose this one, since they were really helpful and proffessional. They were very flexible with the amount of people and the payment, since we were not sure exactly how many people we were going to be. Furthermore, they tried to help us all the time and answered phone and email inmediately, being available any time we wanted for showing us the boat or for letting us time to decorate it. I think they adapt to any kind of budget, ocassion, objective of the cruise or special requirements, so I think it is the best option for renting a boat. Furthermore, the day of the party they were very punctual and everything happened according to what we agreed, helping us organizating and letting us doing whatever we wanted. I would really recommend them if you are looking for a cruise or a private event without any doubt!! Furthermore, they had the best prices among all the companies we considered.

delicious food, great entertaintmet, Bosphorus dinner cruise
I booked this cruise online, i was not asked to pay in advance, that was a simple way of booking the tour. As promised I was picked up from my hotel on time. There was a welcome coctail on boat..a lovely dinner was next..while having dinner we enjoyed different Turkish dances of dervishes, oriental dance, asuk and masuk and much more. The international singer was the best, he made every one happy and have good time during the cruise. The amazing views of the sighs from the boat were breathtaking. Anoneone visiting Istanbul must do this cruise.

Awesome Cultural Display
If you are interested in Turkish cultural performances as well as belly dance, Bosphorus Tour is tailor made for you. Performances are top notch, food is good, host is hilarious, you got to see Istanbul at night from cruise which is matchless, and on top of that you can interact with so many people coming from different regions and religions. If you are in Istanbul, don't miss it.

Bosphorus dinner cruise and Turkish night show - best of Istanbul
As every visitors of Istanbul, we wanted to do a cruise on Bosphorus. After searching a while, we decided to attend the Bosphorus nights cruise and now we are ensured ourselves that we had made the right choice ! We were seeking for the best tour company that offers good value and good service level. We come accroos the Bosphorus Tours Organisations company on the interenet. The pictures, information on their site seemed realiable to us and we contacted directly with them. We got a response in 30 min. after sending our request. This was a good start but not the best at least. We were even not asked to give our credit card information. They just sent a reservation confirmation e-mail covering pick - up time from our hotel etc...We were at our hotel lobby prior to the appointed pick - up time and were were picked up on time. After 30 min. drive throug several more hotels we go to the boat. The boat was big and elegant. Welcome coctail was a good start. The we had buffet dinner, the bufft was rich and we all love the meals a lot. And the Turkish night shows started, the star of the night was the belly dancer
By Biboo from England
Excellent
I went to the tour with my family and it was worth every penny i paid. It started with proper dinner , with many musical dances and belly dance. It was a constant entertainment throughout the tour. I would highly recommend everyone to have this tour . It was organized highly professionally.
By Sadiq from Pakistan
Un dîner spectacle digne d'un cabaret sur un très beau bateau. De plus la croisière sur le Bosphore la nuit c'est juste surréaliste tellement c'est magnifique. Istanbul est définitivement une bille magique. Le dîner servi a bord est correct le service au top une seule a dire c'est a faire a tout prix. Nous sommes partis avec peremetours surtout ne pas hésiter a négocier les prix lors de la réservation ils font de belles ristournes.
By Nicole from France
Highly recommended
It was the perfect end for a one week stay in Istanbul. The staff prearranged the hotel pick ups and there were no delays, the food was good (great way to try the Turkish kitchen through their Mazza dish, for the main dish they offer you three options chicken, fish and beef, i did tried the chicken and it was yummy and moist), the host was funny and his sense of humor and his jokes were the highlight of the evening. The staff were very friendly, bottom line highly recommended.
By Dina from Amman
An Amazing Party

Night on the Bosphorous
I really enjoyed the energy and the happiness that radiated from the performers and the guests. It was really interesting to see the traditional turkish dances. The staff on the boat were very accommodating and knowledgable. Alper pointed out landmarks on the coast and taught us a lot about the culture and special places to visit in Istanbul.
By San Diego from California
A festive evening
The cruise had many entertaining performances. The variety in performances was really eyeopening. My ultimate favorite was the whirling dance. The boat staff were incredibly kind and very helpful. Alper was very accommodating and gave great suggestions for sightseeing. The dance floor was extremely festive so if you're looking to dance on a boat, this is the place!
