Great show
luke_s, October 2026
Enjoyed the night, food was nothing special, lovely boat and layout, show was great, sight of the show was most of the time not visible, people standing up taking photos and videos and walking around, no respect to other patrons, waiters constantly passing by, managers dont instruct people to remain seated. Overall great show and outing albeit a few hiccups.

Dinner on a boat, what a disappointment!
silvyad, October 2026
We booked a group dinner on a boat, expecting a somewhat special experience, but unfortunately the expectations were largely unmet. Of luxury, honestly, we found very little.
The service was rather disappointing: more than an hour passed between the appetizer plate, without it being explained to us what it contained, and the main course. When it was time to serve, the waiter informed me that the chicken I had ordered was out and brought me meat as an alternative.
Even the request for typical Turkish tea turned out to be a disappointment: I was told it was finished, while the rest of the room had been served practically at the same time as the dessert.
Another unpleasant aspect was the music, really very loud for the entire duration of the dinner, so much so that it made it difficult even to converse with the people sitting at our table.
The only truly positive note was represented by the performances of the dancers and musicians, who knew how to provide an authentic moment of folklore and local culture, making the atmosphere more interesting.
Overall, the experience did not meet our expectations. I am sorry, but I do not feel like recommending it.

I was expecting to enjoy, however the trip/ experience was excellent. The food was good, service on the boat excellent, and the show high energy, and at the end everyone danced. The 2 tour guides (both called Rasul) were great, super helpful
