3.Istanbul by Night: Turkish Dinner and Show

★★★★★★★★★★3.5 · 145 reviews · from $180

Spend about four hours aboard a Bosphorus dinner cruise with hotel pickup, a four-course Turkish meal, local drinks, belly dancing, and an Anatolian folklore show. Expect lively stage entertainment, shared tables, and a strongly tourist-focused evening rather than a quiet city sightseeing drive.

“Was fun at first, and then just got incredibly cheesy and touristy. Belly dancing and Caucus dancing was interesting, otherwise the food was at best mediocre and the wine was not good. The rest of the shows were pretty meh. At one point a group of american teenagers were dancing on stage, if I wanted to see that I would go to a club in US. Certainly not worth 80 per person, probably not worth the investment of time if you are on vacation in Istanbul”
