Only one performer was twirling dervish. There were several other Turkish dances including belly dancing. The view of the dancing was largely blocked by other guests closer to the small dance floor. Food was okay. Did not appreciate how the pickup worked. I was given a pickup time of 6:50 pm, they showed up at 7:10 pm, and after driving around in a large bus picking up other persons until 8:30 pm, we had circled around and were only 100 ft from my hotel. The music is very, very loud.
Dear Hal , Thank you for taking the time to share your detailed feedback. We’re truly sorry to hear that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. Your comments are very important to us, as they help us continuously improve our services. Regarding the transfer, we sincerely apologize for the delay and the extended pickup duration. As this is a shared service, multiple guest pickups can sometimes result in longer routes, especially during busy hours. That said, we completely understand how inconvenient this must have felt, and we are currently reviewing our planning to make this process smoother and more time-efficient. We also regret that your view of the performances was partially blocked. Due to the layout of the venue and table arrangements, visibility can vary depending on seating location. We are already discussing this with the venue team to improve guest positioning wherever possible. In terms of the show, the Turkish Night program includes a variety of traditional performances such as belly dancing and folkloric dances, in addition to the Whirling Dervish. We understand that expectations may differ, and your feedback helps us present the experience more clearly to future guests. We also appreciate your comments regarding the sound level and food quality. These points have been shared with the venue management to ensure a better balance between entertainment and guest comfort. If there is anything we can do to make your experience right, we would be more than happy to assist you. And should you feel that our response and efforts have addressed your concerns, we would truly appreciate you considering updating your review. Thank you once again for your valuable feedback, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again for a much improved experience. Kind regards,
The walk was very good. Transfer on schedule. I only have one though. When I booked, I couldn't find the name of the ship. I was hoping to make this ride on a different ship than I've ever done. This yesterday was the TURNA had already done and didn't want to again. Not for being bad, but for wanting to meet another ship. So you should always highlight the name of the ship.
Thank you very much for your valuable feedback! 😊 We’re glad to hear that you enjoyed the tour and that the transfer service was on time—that’s always one of our top priorities. We also truly appreciate your comment regarding the boat name. You are absolutely right: clearly mentioning the vessel (in this case, TURNA) is important, especially for guests who have already experienced the cruise and may wish to try a different one. Your feedback is very helpful, and we will make sure to highlight the boat name more clearly in our listings to avoid any confusion in the future. Thank you again for choosing us, and we hope to welcome you back for another experience—perhaps on a different boat next time! 🚢✨
One of the highlights of my trip to Istanbul was an unforgettable family dinner. The staff was exceptionally kind and welcoming, creating a warm and enjoyable atmosphere from the moment we arrived. The food was excellent, and the show added a unique and entertaining touch to the evening. What I appreciated most was the photo album we received after dinner — a beautiful and thoughtful souvenir that truly captured our memories of Istanbul. Highly recommended. If I return to Istanbul, this is definitely an experience I would do again without hesitation.
