    Not what we expected, a frustrating entrance and a disjointed show

    We visited the Alar Dinner Show in Crete as a group of six ladies and, sadly, it didn't live up to the glowing reviews we'd read. We'd booked a specific table, yet we were kept waiting outside for a long time to be seated, even though the venue was only about half full. No one explained the delay or gave us any updates, which was frustrating. The food was okay. Some of our group ate it, others didn't. The service once we were seated was good, and the staff were pleasant. The show itself felt disjointed. It was a series of separate numbers with no connection between them, so it was hard to know what we were watching or why. A compere could have made a big difference. They could have introduced each act, explained what was coming next, added some humour or audience interaction, and filled the gaps between numbers so the evening flowed rather than stopping and starting. The acrobatic performances were the only real highlight. The dancing and other acts felt dated and lacked originality. A disco was advertised for after the show, but it didn't really happen and many guests paid and left. We visited in low season, so we understand numbers may have played a part. Overall, the acrobats were talented, but we left disappointed. Clearer communication at the door, a host to guide the audience through the evening, and more modern choreography and performances would make a big difference.

    Great night, would recommend.

    We went to the show last night, was not sure what to expect but it didnt disappoint. It was a great night, both singers and dancers were talented, the acrobatics were amazing. Food was good and the staff attentive. Extra free drink for VIP seat would be a nice idea due to price. I would definitely recommend this show.

    Very poor production

    Not quite sure where all these excellent reviews come from. I went on Saturday with three friends for our 60th birthdays. We could not fault the pick up and the food. They were both amazing although we found out the taxi driver was also the chef! Then later he was the cleaner on stage too. As for the acts. I felt like I was back to the days when I watched my children’s school productions. Nothing flowed between acts, the costumes were of poor quality and didn’t fit particularly well. (one girl had a rip in her tights) The only people who were whooping and clapping were the organisers who were sitting behind us. The one act that stood out was the main singer. She had an amazing voice and some lovely stage costumes. All in all if we hadn’t got transport booked we would have walked out before the end as did another couple. A huge disappointment and definitely £77 each wasted.

    Response from the operator: Dear guest, we are glad that you found the food amazing. However the driver is not the chef! How could he be, he just arrived at the theatre with you and the food was already nearly ready. The amazing beef bourguignon that you had, needs a slow cooking that lasts hours. Our chef is in the kitchen since early afternoon to make sure all is perfect. Thank you for your good words about our main singer as well, but we are sorry that you were disappointed about the rest. All the other people write excellent reviews simply because they really love the show as much as the food!

    A "Spectacular" evening catered to adults

    I booked the show with no expectations but wanted to do something a little different than spending another night on the main strip of hersonissos. It didn't disappoint! Although I didn't book the show with food there was a drink included in the tickets I booked. The food did look really good and most people had booked the full experience with food included. The was even a preshow during the meal. It was a great evening showcasing exceptional talent and it was clear a lot of hard work had been put into the experience from all the staff involved. Highly recommend for those looking for something a little different to do but would advise to check availability in advance as it runs only two days a week.

    Spectacular Dinner-Show: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Spectacular Dinner-Show cost?

    +

    Prices start at $46 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Heraklion usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Spectacular Dinner-Show 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 Heraklion is not rushed.

    Is Spectacular Dinner-Show worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 91 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Heraklion, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Spectacular Dinner-Show?

    +

    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 Spectacular Dinner-Show 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 Spectacular Dinner-Show?

    +

    Around 32 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 Heraklion 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 Heraklion and add a light layer if any part of the 3-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Spectacular Dinner-Show 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 Heraklion 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 Heraklion?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Heraklion experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Knossos - Zeus Cave - Old Traditional Villages-Olive Oil Factory, Knossos & Lasithi Plateau: Zeus Cave, Villages, Olive Oil Tour, Quad Safari: Off-Road Day Tour with Dinner & Transfers. 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 Heraklion?

    +

    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 Heraklion?

    +

    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.

    What is included in Spectacular Dinner-Show?

    +

    Included: Amazing show; Dinner; and Alcoholic beverages. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Spectacular Dinner-Show include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered, or you can meet at the start point instead from 81 listed pickup locations in and around Heraklion. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Spectacular Dinner-Show?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Spectacular Dinner-Show wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    +
