Guys seriously, you can’t miss this activity in Istanbul. It’s the best! I’m so glad I did it during the summer season as it felt so nice to just lounge around the deck enjoying the breeze wearing just a shirt! I took the option with unlimited alcohol and I had white wine all night! There were lots of amazing cultural performances too which made the experience so authentically Turkish! The views of the historical palaces and bridges and city lights from the deck were just amazing. The food was good too. I would surely do this activity again! :)

We really enjoyed the tour. We had fun times on the boat. We didn't run out of drinks during the tour, whenever we asked for new drinks (and we drank a lot). An observation to be made is that the drink was not cold. Actually we can't find cold drinks anywhere in istanbul, unfortunately. We didn't eat the starter meal because they were already laid out on the table when we got on the boat and the internal temperature at the beginning was really hot, so we preferred to avoid it. Regarding the main course, it was great, we expected for less. The artistic performances were also interesting and the dancers super enthusiastic. It really excited everyone. At the end, we were offered the photos that were taken during the tour. We buy. Excellent quality photos and a personalized photo frame of Istanbul. It's not the cheapest, it's worth negotiating the price with them. The boat crew was super attentive and kind at all times, we were treated well. Overall, we really enjoyed the tour.
