Thank you SEREMONİ dinner cruise and BOSS driver Mèrth - We came from Romania on holiday with my family. First, while visiting Sultanahmet, boat tours were organized by an agency and we made a reservation. In the evening, a gentleman from our hotel picked up a talking driver. The welcome on the boat was very nice. There were shows that really explained the culture of Turkey and we could not get enough of the view. The boat was finally named BOSS. We found our provided vehicle and he was still smiling. Even though we drank too much alcohol, he never gave my family any disturbing looks. I'm talking about the driver in particular because just when we thought everything was over, Boss continued the fun by playing Romanian songs. Thank you Boss (Merth), we were very pleased. I recommend him.

A must do in Istanbul! - Its a must do thing when you are in Istanbul. Ahmed, the cuise manager and his crew is way too nice. I was in the cruise for 3 hours and not a single second I was bored for. Its full own entertainment from whirling dervishes, folk dance, live orchestra to amazing belly dance. Food is well crafted and delicious!

For two months, you will have lunch - From the mother of Khan and Adam, I used to wear a different type of car, like a black cardigan, wearing a Sultan’s dress, and all of my Sargarm clothes, in a grateful car.

Ottoman Nights - poor food hygiene, disgusting toilets, dirty water, avoid! - A very unpleasant experience – avoid, avoid, avoid! Driver half an hour late. Arrived at the boat to little explanation of the evening. The first course already on the table; a strange combination of small amounts of salad. On tasting it we got the impression it had been sat at room temperature for some time. Staff not interested unless you were buying alcohol. Main course rubber chicken or fish with a tired and brown salad. Dessert a small triangle of melon with three grapes. Overall, food very poor. Toilets absolutely disgusting and the handwashing water was brown. The entertainment was difficult to see because we were so far away and people stood up in front of us. Most of the cruise seemed to consist of circling by the new bridge. No commentary. No direction at the end; we were hustled off the boat and had to spend some time trying to find our driver ourselves. By the following morning I had food poisoning and my partner became ill a few hours later (we think it was salmonella). Curtailed any activities for the last two days of our holiday and took us a week to recover. Senkron Tours does not respond to emails, nor care about making customers ill. One star only because we can’t give zero – avoid this company and their products if you value your health!
