5.00I cannot imagine a better private guide than Tolga/TravelShow company. Every step of the booking was seamless. Tolga was very responsive — all tickets were arranged beforehand. Tolga was informative, trustworthy, funny, and very efficient with time. The amount of ground we were able to cover was impressive during a short cruise stop, with 3 cruise ships in port. Tolga’s historical knowledge and local connections (and the fact that he is multilingual) make him truly one of a kind. Our first experience of Türkiye was overwhelmingly positive. Thank you Tolga!
Excellent tour with a terrific host

5.00Abe was excellent. His knowledge of Ephesus was outstanding, and we opted for a more religion based tour. This was the best tour we had been on. Lunch was very nice too, and healthy as well. Be prepared to learn heaps. I know we did. 10 out of 10 for this tour.

3.00We trust EN the guide without having previously reviewed the planned route. The guide changed NO route without asking and until we reached the boat we did not realize. Turns out we visited NO church DE San Juan, nor did he ask us... he took us to a DE leather shop, which we happened to like. But if we knew we were NO longer missing the visit to the cappella, we wouldn't have accepted... Another issue ES that at the time DE finish the visit, the guide can offer the visit to the factory as an extra tour under his time... NO 5 am (DE 0940-1420) But NO unilaterally DE since arriving at the boat and discovering the route actually contracted we feel deceived... POR else all good.
We had Tolga and he was...
