We had the transfer included. Dinner was good. And very good entertainment and included the audience. We finished in a dancing party mode but just wished the dj used more international well known songs.

Our seats got switched to nice view absolutely love that. Food was not good that could be better. Online it says authentic Turkish food but it was just Chicken or fish or tomato pasta. The songs were little old some were classic like Arab and Spanish but English songs could've been updated to more of recent one

I liked the facilities. The waiter was not very nice. People stood up to watch the show and there was no order, they didn't let us watch because no one told them they should stay seated.

Performance was good, mood was excellent too. Table attenders kept their focus on some specific tables must be VIP one's but seem no different to ours, did not attend our table and we kept shouting at them to gain attention. Getting 2 drinks was an effort on unlimited drinks ticket, struggled to get tea later too. Music was too loud and at one point was just excessive. Table service can be improved. No real explanation of perks on standard private and VIP options.

We've been a group of 5 , and everything was great Even though you need to wait a bit longer to be served (boat was full), you can't really be bothered because the staff is nice, and you can see they're doing their best. Many shows all night (live music , dancing) which we really enjoyed.

Although I paid for unlimited alcoholic drinks option, only two drinks per person were provided and I was requested to pay when i wanted to order the next. Therefore the crouse alcoholic drinks service was inconsistent with my ticket conditions.

We had booked a private table on a boat with show, meal and drinks with unlimited alcohol. Positive points: the round-trip transfer went well, the show was enjoyable and so was the cruise. However, at the start we were asked to change boats at the last minute, so we were separated from the group that was with us in the transfer vehicle, and we had no alcohol on the boat in question. What's more, the meal turned out to be rather average (3 courses instead of 4), which spoiled part of our experience.

The cruise inside was tightly packed, I wish there was gap between tables, and I also recommend the place where the events happening like dances is too small, if you sit at the end of the hall you hardly can see what is happening, not a good experience and won't recommend the cruise thru you.

reviewer

Very good show and nice staff. The food was good as well. However the option with alcohol is not illimited. It's 2 drinks per person, the description on the website is wrong and the staff knows it. Overall nice experience though.

Very nice evening with good food and a very friendly waiter. The show was appealing, but the music was too loud. The views of the two bridges and the beautiful villas on the shore are very nice. An experience.

It was the first time when I booked tockets for 2 experiences with headout.com, but all went smoothly, fair prices, no complaints. Dinner cruise &Turkish show with Lufer boat was a thrilling experience which we highly recommend. We took private table for 3 persons which was located on the window, the show was great all moments, without exaggerating (we hardly walked outside restaurant ship to take photos outside, because we didn't want to miss the show moments. The food was great ( we took standard menu and was enough and you can't eat everything. We saw also the other guests vip menu which was bigger than ours, but too much to eat, almost everyone gave back dishes untouched). The waiter who took care of our table was so kind and polite, and aware to refill glasses with any kind of juices we wish (and water, of course). Thank you all for such a memorable evening!

Food and water was provided. Our Waiter was extremely rude. Made me feel very uncomfortable when I couldn't get his attention for a drink, I asked another waiter, he then came up behind him and shouted at me to "have some respect for him, as he is my waiter" and then went on to make my experience extremely uncomfortable.

If you listen to the audio guide, you need a quiet space. The music was great but it did allow you to follow the ship's route. The audio guide was difficult to set up and only served for 3 places then it was impossible to set it up. The food was delicious and just the right size: hot, not too many condiments and salt.

We had an amazing experience on the boat cruise! Sulamin was outstanding—super helpful and incredibly attentive throughout the whole journey. We were running 2 minutes behind schedule because we took the wrong bus and thought we might miss the cruise. Despite this, the team was super flexible, and they reassured us, even offering the option to catch another boat the next day if we couldn’t make it in time. Thankfully, we made it, and it was such a beautiful ride! Highly recommend this cruise for its excellent service and stunning views.

Absolutely loved this experience. There was plenty of entertainment, the boat goes very slow so you can see the sights on the river. Food was acceptable but I have the say the service from the waiters was absolutely fantastic. I couldn’t take a sip of water without my glass being refilled within a couple minutes. I would definitely recommend this experience.

Private boat cruise was a great idea for the family activity - we really enjoyed our time on the water, beatiful views of the Bosphorus and the boat crew were wonderful. Two downsides: 1) we didnt know the boarding point until the booking - there is no option to see it until you book and pay. In our case it turned out almost an hour away by taxi. If i has known that in advance i might have chosen a different provider. 2) the booking confirmation did not contain contact of the boat captain and it took us 10 minutes of anxious searching and talking to other boat owners to find our boat. It all worked out fine in the end but it would be great to avoid this in the future
