Great Ephesus plus more personal tour

Published on Nov, 2024

We enjoyed our own personal guide who knew alot about all the areas we visited. We enjoyed every place we went and our lunch was great. We want to go back and spend more time in Turkey! Our driver and van made the trip!

Highly recommend

Arzu was our tour guide, and she was fantastic! Her knowledge of history is impressive, and she made the tour enjoyable with her friendly demeanor. I highly recommend her!

Great Guide and Content

Published on Nov, 2024

The ruins of Ephesus are a must see!! The house of the Virgin Mary was also quite compelling. Our tour guide, Tuba, was fantastic. She was both knowledgeable and engaging. She even helped us buy a Turkish rug! Got back to the ship in plenty of time. Great tour for a great price. We skipped lunch to have more time to see the sites and they adjusted the price accordingly. I highly recommend Travel Showtime and this tour. Tolga responds to questions on WhatsApp in a timely manner. We paid in cash at the tour since our advanced credit card payment to a company in Turkey had issues going through. That worked out fine.

Wow!! Marvelous sites.

Published on Nov, 2024

Our guide was wonderful , informative and patient she knew her history. The sites were so grand. We had early booking and it wasn’t too crowded. Easy pick up at the dockside of our ship. Catered to our wishes. Perfect day. A Turkish lunch was a fun experience.
