About this tour
An evening on the Bosphorus, between the lights of Europe and Asia. You board a restaurant boat that sails past Dolmabahçe Palace and Ortaköy Mosque towards the illuminated bridges, while a set dinner of mezze, a main course and dessert is served at your table. The show brings folk dances from different regions of Turkey and a belly-dance performance. The boat is shared with other guests — it is a lively night rather than a quiet one — but the journey there and back is yours alone: a private vehicle collects you from your hotel and takes you back after the cruise. Your quote states the drinks package and the boarding pier.
