Our cruise was at night and with dinner included. The cruise was very nice - I wss worried I would get seasick but the boat was steady enough. I only wish there was some information or a self guide about the places that we could see outside the window. The dinner was good with a couple of chices for the main course, although, none vegetarian ones. The one thing that was not quite okay wss the price of the beverage - a glass of wine cost 500 TRy!!! And intially we weren't advised of those. And when we asked for the bill we were told it was 400 TRY, so we had to bargain for that price to be applied - which is still a lot!! Everything else, including the program, was very nice and enjoyable!Beatrice

It was easy to order the ticket on line though I did it right before going. It saved me much time because I didn't have to stand in the line.The audio guide was also very convenient as I could move in my own tempo. The palace itself and the gardens around are very beautiful. Add the terrific view of the sea, ducks and a swan in the pond - one feels like in the paradise! I didn't feel like leaving!Taelemans

We were at the palace as soon as it opened and there were already a lot of people. The gardens were beautiful as well as the ceremonial halls where high-ranking guests were received and the crystal staircase. Many rooms looked a bit the same and were dark and dusty. The corridors were too narrow for the many people so that there was a queue. It was also a pity that no photos were allowed inside. It was nice to have seen it once, but I would not go there a second time.

Really wonderful and amazing. Very good explanation in my language. You can't miss the Dolmabache Palace when you are in Turkey.View original review in Spanish
This combo ticket packs a double punch for less, including a Bosphorus dinner cruise and priority access to the Dolmabahce Palace.
A Turkish evening on the Bosphorus
Set sail on the Bosphorus, taking in sights like the Dolmabahce Palace, Bosphorus Bridge, and Maiden's Tower. Immerse in Turkey's rich culture with entertainment like the traditional sword and shield folk dance and the Kafkas Circassian dances. Later, a belly dancer takes the stage, and a live DJ keeps the party going as you indulge in a Turkish feast. Savor local specialties like fava bean dip with strawberries, tangy tomato paste, and dolmas. To quench your thirst, enjoy unlimited soft drinks throughout the evening cruise.
