The fortress also lends its name to the immediate neighborhood around it in the city’s Sarıyer district.

The bridge extends between Ortaköy (in Europe) and Beylerbeyi (in Asia).

An memorable evening - Everything turned out nicely ! We had an enjoyable evening despite the cold and wet weather! The sea food dinner was delicious and the entertainment was excellent! Pick up and drop off well organised. The only downside was too many people smoking.

Waiter nice, nice performers, but almost went deaf LOL - Zubeyir was my waiter. Other than the seating(right in front of the speakers), the crew tried their best to accomodate for the entirety of the trip. Performers were great. Had a nice chat with great people from all over the world. No restrictions to go to the top deck, so I was taking a lot of pictures as well.

Cruise on the Bosphorus in the evening is magical - I recommend this positive cruise experience with dinner and show to everyone. Good value for money. The only inconvenience that we resolved concerned the purchase of the ticket including recovery from the hotel which was not satisfied and we received a refund. We got there by taxi. I recommend making arrangements with a taxi driver before arriving at the boarding dock. Taxis don't cost much in Istanbul.

Nice dinner, entertainment, and wonderful views - It was a very nice boat dinner. We got there a little late and had a little bit of a difficulty on finding which boat we were on hit we made it. Tables and plating were well done, just a little small on wiggle room from seat to seat and table to table. Food was wonderful, it was nice to try different local dishes. The dancers were amazing and it was funny to hear the DJ play different music in the background in the meantime. For us, we really had to ask about more drink but there were a lot of other people there. The views were a true highlight and incredible! If you got a free night I would say go for it!

Bad experience - I was very exited about this tour, as Im trveling solo, I thought this can be a great oportunity to know other people. They took me to the 2nd floor and asked me to sit in away from the window ( there were other 4 spots). I sat there for 5 minutes and then I decided to move next to the window (there was at least other 40 sits available around the boat and I was there to see the view right?) I enjoyed my appetizer and after I finish 4 ladies came to the table, this moment the waiter also came and told me that the sit next to the window was occupied and in a rude way he cuestioned me of why I didn't realize there was a jacket in one of the chairs, he pointed out my previous place saying "I sit you here". I was already feeling umconfortable with all the situation as all the ladies were looking at me like I took their table... I told the waiter that I see many sits and if I could go next to the window in other table and he told me no, "we tell you where to sit"... After this I could not imagine myself in that table for the next 3 to 4 hours do I decided to leave. I went to speak with the waiter telling him I want to leave and speak with who ever was in charge. He asked me why and offered me a sit next to the window, now???? Really?? I asked him before and he told me that I must sit where they tell me... was already late and I had a bitter taste in my mouth, I just want to get out... he took me to the manager. We went down and the waiter started to tell something to the manager in Turkish... after that he looked at me and asked me why I want to leave.. when I was about to tell him he interrupted me and told me "because you didn't sit next to the window?" And started to talk about people wanting to smoke etc etc.. I was surpprised the way he took all the situation.. he never let me explain, he just asume and didn't give a chance to the custumer to speak.. I just told him "you ask me a question and dont let me answer, I want to leave".. they refund my money and I left.. no way I will stay 3 hours with rude people
