Highly Recommend
This was one of the most fun activities of my trip to Turkey. The dinner was nice, but the entertainment was awesome. They did traditional dances and then worked to involve the audience. I really like that the management kept people from standing and blocking other peoples view of the stage.

Disgusting
Absolute filth! There was alcohol served, nudity, loud music and men acting like wild dogs in heat. This is not a environment for the classy and is not appropriate for families or children as it advises in the description. Please avoid booking as it is not what you expect it to be.

See Turkish city lights and folk dances
This was a very good dinner, with very good service. I recommend the fish dinner, which was excellent, rather than the mixed grill. The appetizer plate was also very good with a very fresh vegetable salad. They provided transfer from our hotel to the boat, but it was still quite a walk with our canes. The cruise was very smooth and seeing Istanbul at night, with all the lights was magnificent. The dancers were great, performing traditional folk dances from different regions of Turkey. We would have liked some narratives , though, as to these regions, as well as what each different dance and movement represented. For example, we had read about the Whirling Dervishes, so we knew that it is a very old tradition with much religious significance, along with meaningful hand positions. But, none of this was explained or narrated about any of the dances, which explanations would raise this activity to a must do, 5 star rating. Be that as it me we highly recommend this activity, especially with its very reasonable price!!

Great customer service- Tolga
Tour operator was very helpful with quick communication after I missed pickup(due to traffic in Istanbul) so that I was able to get on boat before departure.

Huge disappointment!!!!
The food was disgusting and for the price we payed we got a plate with two fries on it. The music was blasting so loud that you couldn’t understand a word while talking. The waiters were extremely rude and they give you seats in the worst areas. I really can’t recommend you that boat tour. It was a huge disappointment! Never again!

Why this scores 58
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Istanbul Dinner Cruise Entertaintment with Private Tables: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Istanbul Dinner Cruise Entertaintment with Private Tables cost?
+
Prices start at $20 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 Istanbul Dinner Cruise Entertaintment with Private Tables take?
+
Plan for about 3 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 Istanbul Dinner Cruise Entertaintment with Private Tables worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 58 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3.9/5 across 8 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 Istanbul Dinner Cruise Entertaintment with Private Tables?
+
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 Istanbul Dinner Cruise Entertaintment with Private Tables suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 3-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Istanbul Dinner Cruise Entertaintment with Private Tables?
+
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-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Istanbul Dinner Cruise Entertaintment with Private Tables 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.
