Enjoyable New Year’s Eve Bosphorous Cruiss
First and foremost, Acetes Travel is very professional and legit. My buddy and I went to Istanbul for NYE to go on the Bosphorous to ring in the Bew Year in style. The amenities and for the price was great service and quality. Was a bit hesitant about being scammed since we put a deposit months back. But Mahir assured everything would be ok. We even said we will pay the remaining balance in person at their office. Just fyi they do have a new office that is not the location that we previously researched. Again, Mahir said we can go to office or come to us. Either or. Well since we had a long couple days we decided to have them come to our Airbnb and finish the payment. Chance we took. So Aziz came down took our payment gave us receipt and that was that. I told my friend well if we get scammed it is what it is. However them being on TripAdvisor I did feel some sort of comfort. Anyways, fast forward we walked to a hotel meet up spot since our Airbnb is down a small street. These companies will pick you up at the closest hotel with others. We got on the bus and had several hotel stops for other passengers. Got on board with plenty of time and enjoyed the whole Bosphorous Cruise. Food was pretty decent as well. The chicken was god but the picture doesn’t do it justice. The entertainment show was great with the all the dancers. Would go with Acetes travel again if I ever visit Istanbul in the future. Highly recommend. Top notch staff! Thanks Mahir and Aziz. Much love from Los Angeles!
Response from the operator: Thank you for your nice comment. Thank you for choosing us. We wish you a nice day. See you next time!

Enjoyable trip
We took a dinner cruise to enjoy night views of Istanbul and were nod disappointed. Boat was quite full but not overcrowded and the upper deck with the view was quite empty. Food was really good , same for the drinks and soft-drink offers. Show was very enjoyable, kids were having lot of fun.
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for your positive comment! Customer satisfaction is one of our top priorities, and your feedback has made us very happy. We will continue to do our best to serve you and provide an enjoyable experience. Have a great day!

Great
Really good value for money, only spoiled by the extreme cost of drinks. Example: 0.3L EFES beer costed 7.70€ !!! More expensive than Oktoberfest in München
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for your nice comment. We will be pleased to see you again on our yacht tour. We are very sorry for the cost of the alcoholic drink. If you plan to come again. We recommend that you choose the menu with unlimited alcohol options. It will be very affordable for you. We wish you a nice day.

An Hour Earlier Please!
It was a bit of a challenge to get to the boat (driver arrived at the wrong time and traffic was terrible), but once we got there, we were glad we booked this dinner cruise. The service was great, food was good and the company interesting. I enjoyed the dancing, although it was a bit difficult to see. The best part was the view from the outside deck. It would have been nice to leave a little earlier, and cut out the hour of standing still while people drank and danced. There is so much to see in Istanbul, I'd have liked to be to my hotel by midnight.
Response from the operator: Hello, Thank you for your valuable comment. We are honored that you were satisfied with our tour. Istanbul traffic is sometimes very bad. Our vehicles can also be late, sometimes 5-10 minutes. But our boat is waiting for you in every way. The tour does not start until you reach the boat. You can already review the content of our tour without purchasing. We can't get out of the program. But we will consider it. We wish you happy and healthy days.

Why this scores 60
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Bosphorus Dinner Cruise (Private Table): questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Bosphorus Dinner Cruise (Private Table) cost?
+
Prices start at $60 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Istanbul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Bosphorus Dinner Cruise (Private Table) take?
+
Plan for about 3.5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Istanbul is not rushed.
Is Bosphorus Dinner Cruise (Private Table) worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 60 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Bosphorus Dinner Cruise (Private Table)?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Bosphorus Dinner Cruise (Private Table) suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Bosphorus Dinner Cruise (Private Table)?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Istanbul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Istanbul and add a light layer if any part of the 3.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Bosphorus Dinner Cruise (Private Table) start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Istanbul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Istanbul?
+
On Outty we rank every Istanbul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour, Istanbul Luxury Bosphorus Yacht Cruise with Asian Side Stop, ISTANBUL BEST: Iconic Landmarks Full Day PRIVATE Guided City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Istanbul?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Istanbul?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
