Excellent from start to finish. The food, the table layout, the portions, the entertainment, the staff, the welcome, all excellent. Far exceeded our expectations given the very reasonable price.

More food than you can eat. Lots of live entertainment. Nice cruise towards the Black Sea. Cruise was about two hours. We enjoyed the harbor lights. All ages aboard. Nice yacht. Very safe. Attentive wait staff.

    What a great and awesome evening that we have on this ship! Great performance (throughout the three hours cruise) excellent food served, friendly staffs and implacable service! The head waiter Ulas was amazing, he really took good care of us, filling up our water and ask us if we need anything else multiple times throughout the evening. Just wonderful all the way around. My wife and I truly enjoyed this program and we highly recommend everyone to come and enjoy.

    Amazing.! Talip, our waiter, was amazing. The food was great, and the entertainment was awesome. The dancers are brilliant, very good coordination and showmanship.

    Lovely evening at sea

    Kenneth_K, Nov 2026
    Did the VIP package with window seating. Food was OK. Nothing spectacular. Shows were OK. Crew is very attentive and polite. Recommend not sitting at window for better view to shows.

    Love this and highly recommended ❤️

    MinhLy_N, Nov 2026
    Love the experience. Good food, great service & fun show!! Only tip is you don’t have to book the window seats-we did but every seats are good on the boat. Another tip is if you stayed near the port, you can walk there instead of waiting for the pick up because due to the traffic, it can take long. Overall, 5 star!!

    Great dinner cruise experience

    Maurene_B, Nov 2026

    After searching through...

    Terri_E, Nov 2026
    After searching through countless reviews, this one consistently stood out, and it absolutely did not disappoint. The Istanbul Mega Lufer Dinner Cruise Bosphorus and Show Private Table was one of the highlights of our trip. The food was excellent, with generous portions and great flavors throughout the evening. The show was entertaining from start to finish, with a variety of performances that kept everyone engaged. What really made the experience exceptional was the service. The staff went above and beyond to ensure everything was perfect. Their attention to detail, friendliness, and professionalism were truly over the top. If you're considering a Bosphorus dinner cruise, I highly recommend this one. Based on the reviews, we had high expectations, and it exceeded every one of them. A fantastic evening with great food, outstanding entertainment, and first-class service.

    Amazing Experience

    Rinosh_C, Nov 2026
    We had a fantastic evening on this Bosphorus dinner cruise. The food was excellent and the drinks kept flowing all night. The entertainment was lively and fun, and it kept the whole boat in great spirits. Add the views of Istanbul lit up along both shores, and it was the perfect way to start our trip. Highly recommended for couples or anyone wanting a memorable night out in Istanbul!

    Absolute value for money

    Worth the $$$

    Brandy_B, Nov 2026
    It was wonderful, but we booked last minute so even with purchasing the VIP package we didn’t have a great view of the show. Our driver who picked us up and dropped us back off was very sweet. Great food, great show, great staff!

    Nice way to spend a night in Istanbul !

    Ada_Z, Oct 2026

    The boat is very crowded,...

    Abdulrahman_K, Oct 2026
    The boat is very crowded, the picking up from hotels starts one and half hour before the activity starting time ,the food was good ,the folklore show was interesting. The overall organisation was good.

    Good experience

    Jatinder_P, Oct 2026
    Good performances, great food and very good service. It was better than we expected. Will definitely recommend.

    Fun! Fun! Fun!

    Anjum_K, Oct 2026
    From start to finish this tour kept us engaged in entertainment, food and scenery. It was more then worth it. The pictures and albums they sold were a bit pricey but a good souvenoir if you buy them, which everyone usually does because it's a memory. Belly Dancing with a half-naked woman; would keep your kid's eyes closed! Was fun overall; and of course everyone went dancing together at the end !

    Brilliant evening

    Michael_H, Oct 2026
    The best value and most fun thing to do in Istanbul. Great evening. Ambiance. Food. Entertainment. Staff.

    Will never do this trip ever again.

    Sartaj_T, Oct 2026
    I had bought, what I thought were VIP tickets for my friend and myself. We were directed to the third floor of the boat and seated in a place, where my chair was constantly being hit against as our table was in the path of the waiters and everyone else. We were served the last. The food was below average.

    VIP package + alcohol included worth it

    Rene_F, Oct 2026
    Very well organised from start to finish. I booked the VIP package with alcohol included and was initially sceptical. But the crew proved me wrong. Beer and wine unlimited included. Excellent spectacle!

    Best time of bosphorus cruise

    Khatija_B, Oct 2026
    This dinner cruise was well organised and served very fresh and good variety of meze and dinner and has very good entertainment we were very entertained and had the best time! Thank you to our waiter who was looking after us would definitely recommend this to anyone who's interested.

    my cruise in turkey

    Jenny_V, Oct 2026
    great show, good food and friendly folks - great dancers and boat is big and comfortable - unlimited drinks

    Enjoyable Evening

    Susan_S, Oct 2026
    A relaxing evening enjoying the lit up sights along the river. We were allocated a table on the top deck which gave us easy access to the outside which was great as it was a lovely evening weather wise. Our meal was lovely although if you are vegetarian put that on your booking as were given two choices which wasn’t a problem for us(fish or meat). The entertainment was good and the waiting staff were attentive without being overly so. Bring picked up and taken back to our hotel was also helpful.

    Excellent Cruise Experience

    Ricardo_O, Oct 2026
    Everything was absolutely excellent! The food was delicious and generous, the show was beautiful, and the VIP lounge was very comfortable. Our table by the window was spectacular, with stunning views of the Bosphorus throughout the cruise. The service was outstanding, and the transportation from the hotel to the boat and back was excellent, smooth, and very well organized. A wonderful experience from beginning to end. Highly recommended to anyone visiting Istanbul!

    Average night, could do with some improvements

    Jack_P, Oct 2026
    Entry is super messy, lots of boats and queues quite confusing where you need to go. Onboard is a nice setting. The starter food was good, however the main was poor and very small as well as the dessert. Real improvements needed for those. Also the unlimited drinks isn't great, difficult to order as you have to flag down your waitor serving multiple tables. Tried getting another or ordering at the bar to be told it's not allowed. Beer option limited to only bremen which imo is not good. Not much space on the outside areas if you do want to go outside. Entertainment was okay but nothing special and can barely see half the time due to all the other people / tables.

    Stuff was friendly kadir was one of the best waiter starter was yummy but there was one problem the dinner was not good.

    Ismail_S, Oct 2026
    Every thing was perfect 100/100 the show the starter was yummy the food I will rate 0/100 waiters was kind and friendly

    Great night

    abellara0379, Oct 2026
    We had a wonderful experience with Lufer! Everything was well organized, and the entire experience was enjoyable from beginning to end. The staff was friendly, welcoming, and professional, making sure everyone had a great time. At the boat service was very friendly the food was good, fresh and delicious. Our server was very nice! We truly enjoyed ourselves and would definitely recommend this experience to anyone visiting Istanbul. Booking through Viator was easy and convenient!

    Excellent evening with superb food and entertainment
