La actividad estuvo muy buena, muy buena atención adentro del barco, la comida rica y los shows divertidos. Lo único que,.como ya leí en otros comentarios, cuando uno llega al puerto nadie sabe orientarte para saber cual es tu barco, porque son varios los que prestan el mismo servicio a la misma hora, en mi caso particular me pedían el nombre del barco, que en mi ticket no decía, llegué con tiempo por eso no lo perdí. Excepto ese inconveniente, el resto una hermosa experiencia Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was very good, very good service inside the boat, delicious food and fun shows. The only thing that, as I read in other comments, when you arrive at the port, no one knows how to guide you to know which boat is yours, because there are several that provide the same service at the same time, in my particular case they asked me for the name of the boat, which my ticket didn't say, I arrived on time so I didn't miss it. Except for that inconvenience, the rest was a beautiful experience. Opinion translated. Show original.

Complessivamente è stata una bella esperienza con un buon rapporto qualità prezzo. Non semplice trovare il molo d'imbarco, buona l'accoglienza del personale e la gentilezza e puntualità del servizio. Il cibo sufficiente per qualità e appetibilità. Lo spettacolo gradevole con artisti che hanno mostrato grande impegno. Spettacolare la vista che ho potuto godere dal ponte all'esterno di Istanbul di notte

La actividad fue tal como la esperaba, todo muy bien. Un solo comentario desafortunado, no era claro el punto de encuentro, de hacho nunca llegamos, tuvimos que ubicar el barco preguntando a los transeúntes. En otras oportunidades antes de ka actividad se comunicaban conmigo pir WhatsApp y esta vez no ocurrió Translate this opinion into English.

The activity was just as I expected, everything went very well. I only had one unfortunate comment: the meeting point wasn't clear. In fact, we never arrived; we had to find the boat by asking passersby. On other occasions before the activity, they contacted me via WhatsApp, but this time they didn't. Opinion translated.

Interesante y preciosa excursión del Crucero por el Bósforo, con cena, espectáculos y unas vistas nocturnas de Estambul. Muy bien organizado, los espectáculos típicos de allí estuvieron fenomenal y el personal amable y encantador. Cuando llegamos a la hora indicada en la reserva, ya nos estaba esperando el guía para embarcar. Todo fenomenal y totalmente aconsejable la actividad. Translate this opinion into English.

An interesting and beautiful Bosphorus Cruise excursion, with dinner, shows, and views of Istanbul at night. Very well organized, the traditional shows were phenomenal, and the staff was friendly and charming. When we arrived at the time indicated in the reservation, the guide was already waiting for us to board. Everything was fantastic, and the activity is highly recommended. Opinion translated.

La comida no es a elegir de todo lo que pone, el primer plato ya lo traen echo para todos igual y el segundo si que es a elegir entre carne o pescado, en nuestro caso, carne de hamburguesa y pollo o salmón. Las actuaciones no están mal y el barco muy bien, era bastante grande. En cuanto al servicio nos atendió un chico jovencito encantador. Translate this opinion into English.

The food isn't limited to all the dishes on offer. The first course is pre-made for everyone, and the second course is a choice of meat or fish. In our case, it was hamburger and chicken or salmon. The performances weren't bad, and the boat was very nice; it was quite large. As for the service, we were served by a charming young man. Opinion translated. Show original.

Una experiencia muy recomendable por el Bósforo El crucero estuvo muy bien, especialmente si tienes la suerte de conseguir una mesa junto a las ventanas y cerca de la parte central del barco: son los mejores sitios para disfrutar tanto de las vistas a ambas orillas como del espectáculo. La cena correcta, con platos típicos turcos y opción de elegir el principal (pescado, carne. Ambiente muy agradable, el espectáculo variado y un cantante realmente fantástico. Muy buena relación calidad precio Translate this opinion into English.

A highly recommended experience on the Bosphorus. The cruise was very good, especially if you're lucky enough to get a table by the windows and near the center of the boat: these are the best places to enjoy both views of both shores and the show. The dinner was decent, with typical Turkish dishes and a choice of main course (fish or meat). A very pleasant atmosphere, a varied show, and a truly fantastic singer. Very good value for money.

Lo recomiendo porque ha sido una experiencia maravillosa . Nuestra elección fue el crucero con cena y espectáculo, además de las bebidas. La cena estupenda, con muchos entrantes, un segundo plato a elegir entre carne o pescado, y dos postres (fruta y dulce). Las bebidas ilimitadas, incluso las alcohólicas. Las diferentes actuaciones nos encantaron…empezó un cantante con música variada, después bailes turcos, danza del vientre, y una pareja bailando varios estilos diferentes. Perfecto!!!! Translate this opinion into English.

I recommend it because it was a wonderful experience. We chose the dinner and show cruise, plus drinks. The dinner was fantastic, with plenty of starters, a choice of meat or fish, and two desserts (fruit and sweet). The drinks were unlimited, even alcoholic ones. We loved the different performances…a singer started with a variety of music, then Turkish dances, belly dancing, and a couple dancing several different styles. Perfect! Opinion translated.

Pot el precio una cena, actuación y paseo en barco esta muy bien. La única pega fue la información para encontrar el barco. Nos mandaron a una parte del muelle, de ahí enseñamos el QR y nos dijeron que entraremos que era nuestra barco. Una vez dentro que no era el nuestro y nos dieron indicaciones a la otra punta del muelle que para poder llegar al barco desde sus indicaciones tuvimos que saltar una valla. Esta muy muy mal indicado solo te dicen nombre muelle, barco y buscate la vida.

For the price of dinner, a performance, and a boat ride, it was very good. The only drawback was the information on how to find the boat. They directed us to one part of the pier, where we showed the QR code, and they told us to enter, which was our boat. Once inside, it wasn't ours, and they gave us directions to the other end of the pier. To get to the boat from their directions, we had to jump over a fence. The signage is very, very poorly marked. They just tell you the name of the pier, the boat, and you have to figure it out.

El crucero tenía un gran salón con mesas por parejas. La comida estaba muy buena, y pedimos disfrutar de varias actuaciones de un músico y un grupo de bailarines. El barco hacia una ruta por diferentes lugares de interés del Bósforo, de forma que siempre había un palacio o un puente como telón d fondo de una cena inolvidable. Translate this opinion into English.

The cruise had a large lounge with tables arranged for couples. The food was very good, and we opted to enjoy several performances by a musician and a group of dancers. The boat toured various Bosphorus attractions, so there was always a palace or a bridge as the backdrop for an unforgettable dinner. Opinion translated. Show original.

El paseo en barco fue una gran experiencia por la comida y el espectáculo, pero el servicio fue decepcionante. Estuvimos en la mesa C15, y el camarero asignado tardaba demasiado en traer lo que pedíamos, a veces ni la cantidad solicitada. Cuando intenté pedirle a otros camareros, me llamó la atención, y la última vez que le pedí algo, dijo que en “dos minutos” me lo traería… y nunca volvió. Aunque el crucero merece la pena, no volvería a reservar. La próxima vez elegiré otra empresa

The boat ride was a great experience for the food and the show, but the service was disappointing. We were at table C15, and the assigned waiter took too long to bring what we ordered, sometimes not even the amount requested. When I tried to order from other waiters, he called me out on it, and the last time I asked for something, he said he'd bring it in "two minutes"… and never came back. Although the cruise is worth it, I wouldn't book again. Next time I'll choose another company.

Nos encanto la experiencia. Los bailes fueron muy divertidos, la cena abundante y nos trataron genial. Eramos 6 personas y 2 de nosotros llegaban tarde y tuvieron el detalle de esperarlos 3 minutos y que no perdieran la actividad, lo cual nos parecio un gran gesto. Sin duda la mejor actividad en barco de todo Estambul! Translate this opinion into English.

We loved the experience. The dancing was so much fun, the dinner was plentiful, and the service was fantastic. There were six of us, and two of us were arriving late, so they were kind enough to wait for us for three minutes so we wouldn't miss the activity, which we thought was a great gesture. Without a doubt, the best boat activity in all of Istanbul! Opinion translated. Show original.

Dos salones gigantes con las mesas pegadas. Salió con 40 minutos de retraso. Los primeros de comer apenas se corresponden con la descripción. La música muy alta. No hay apenas sitio para salir y contemplar las vistas. No hay ninguna explicación de lo que vamos viendo. Los refrescos de grifo. Agua del grifo con mal sabor. Postre minúsculo.

Two giant rooms with tables pushed together. We left 40 minutes late. The first meals barely matched the description. The music was too loud. There was barely any room to stand out and admire the view. There was no explanation of what we were seeing. The soft drinks were on tap. The tap water tasted bad. The dessert was tiny.

Lamentamos mucho que la experiencia no haya cumplido tus expectativas. Queríamos aclarar que esta actividad en concreto no incluye explicaciones en directo durante el recorrido. Aparte de este detalle, el resto del servicio se desarrolló según lo programado. Sentimos de verdad que no haya sido la experiencia que esperabas. Translate this opinion into English.

We're very sorry that the experience didn't meet your expectations. We wanted to clarify that this specific activity does not include live commentary during the tour.

Dinner was nice, the food was ok, the show was super nice, the only thing i would say, that bothered us was the photographers, they take pictures without authorization and them in the middle of the dinner wanted to get paid.
