    Not a good service!

    Not a good experience for me. As we arrived at the spot i saw people were fighting because of check in process and one person was checking in thru her phone it takes time while everyone is waiting in cold. There were no line it was not organized. Tables were really close to eachother so people were passing by literally touching your table plus blocking your view so cannot enjoy the show. I felt it was too many people and very congested. Music was good and dancers put the good show. Food service was disaster. I saw waiters were arguing with eachother about the food and keep bringing wrong food to wrong table. They give my partner food and it took them 25 min get my food after we told them couple of times. They keep forgetting my drinks. It was so annoying to remind them again for small thing like a fork or tea. I paid a lot of money for good service and that was not provided and that very reason i should get refund. I told the problem to organizers but i didnt get any response. Overall i will not recommend this. It was waste of money.

    Response from the operator: Hello, we had a busy evening as it was New Year's Eve, it was a time when we needed to be understanding with each other. As you boarded the boat, you may have noticed that passengers from different boats or unorganized boats wanted to board our boat. We were trying to explain to them that we could not accept people whose names were not on the list. This only delayed your entry and exit by 3 minutes. We have spoken to you many times about your experiences. We offered you some special things as an apology, and you accepted. However, when you returned to your country, you called your bank and requested a refund, claiming that your card was used by someone else, saying that you did not purchase the service, and we are saddened that you commented without waiting for the case to be concluded. Because in addition to your WhatsApp correspondence and the security camera recordings on our boat, your comment here is proof that you have received service.

    New Year's Eve Special - Bosphorus Dinner & Show Cruise: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.

    How much does New Year's Eve Special - Bosphorus Dinner & Show Cruise cost?

    +

    Prices start at $340 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 New Year's Eve Special - Bosphorus Dinner & Show Cruise take?

    +

    Plan for about 4 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 New Year's Eve Special - Bosphorus Dinner & Show Cruise worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 35 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (3/5 across 1 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable food & drink in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule New Year's Eve Special - Bosphorus Dinner & Show Cruise?

    +

    No. This experience is sold on a non-refundable basis, so only book a date you are confident about. Similar experiences in the city do offer free cancellation if flexibility matters more than price.

    Is New Year's Eve Special - Bosphorus Dinner & Show Cruise suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book New Year's Eve Special - Bosphorus Dinner & Show Cruise?

    +

    Around 0 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does New Year's Eve Special - Bosphorus Dinner & Show Cruise 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.
