Bosphorus Dinner Cruise (Private Table)

First and foremost, Acetes Travel is very professional and legit. My buddy and I went to Istanbul for NYE to go on the Bosphorous to ring in the Bew Year in style. The amenities and for the price was great service and quality. Was a bit hesitant about being scammed since we put a deposit months back. But Mahir assured everything would be ok. We even said we will pay the remaining balance in person at their office. Just fyi they do have a new office that is not the location that we previously researched. Again, Mahir said we can go to office or come to us. Either or. Well since we had a long couple days we decided to have them come to our Airbnb and finish the payment. Chance we took. So Aziz came down took our payment gave us receipt and that was that. I told my friend well if we get scammed it is what it is. However them being on TripAdvisor I did feel some sort of comfort. Anyways, fast forward we walked to a hotel meet up spot since our Airbnb is down a small street. These companies will pick you up at the closest hotel with others. We got on the bus and had several hotel stops for other passengers. Got on board with plenty of time and enjoyed the whole Bosphorous Cruise. Food was pretty decent as well. The chicken was god but the picture doesn’t do it justice. The entertainment show was great with the all the dancers. Would go with Acetes travel again if I ever visit Istanbul in the future. Highly recommend. Top notch staff! Thanks Mahir and Aziz. Much love from Los Angeles!

The cultural show was a fun-filled fantastic event. We enjoyed every moment of it and hope to do it again one day soon!

Great cruise! Perfect food and entertainment! The dancers were amazing! Would definitely do it again next time we will visit Istanbul.

Entertainment was really good and we were kept topped up with Turkish teas and coffees throughout the night. The cruise is excellent and very worth the money but I thought we would see more of the sites while on the cruise but you don't really see a lot. If you want to do a site-seeing cruise do a daytime one. Other than that we loved every minute of the cruise and very well organized minibus drop back to our hotel.

We had an excellent time in this tour which we attended in our last day in Istanbul. The guide and staff were wonderful and the Turkish night was really worth to go. Thanks Acetes ...

We took a dinner cruise to enjoy night views of Istanbul and were nod disappointed. Boat was quite full but not overcrowded and the upper deck with the view was quite empty. Food was really good , same for the drinks and soft-drink offers. Show was very enjoyable, kids were having lot of fun.

Really good value for money, only spoiled by the extreme cost of drinks.

Example: 0.3L EFES beer costed 7.70€ !!!

More expensive than Oktoberfest in München

It was a bit of a challenge to get to the boat (driver arrived at the wrong time and traffic was terrible), but once we got there, we were glad we booked this dinner cruise. The service was great, food was good and the company interesting. I enjoyed the dancing, although it was a bit difficult to see. The best part was the view from the outside deck. It would have been nice to leave a little earlier, and cut out the hour of standing still while people drank and danced. There is so much to see in Istanbul, I'd have liked to be to my hotel by midnight.
