We booked this tour as we wanted to visit the first named UNESCO World Heritage site in Turkey, as well as reading about it. Dory collected us at the port and although it was about a 2 1/2 drive from Kusadasi (which we knew), the tour went very quickly. Dory was an excellent guide, very accommodating and very knowledgeable about everything we saw and discovered during the day. We visited the ruins of the ancient city of Hierapolis and of course the area where calcium minerals are left by flowing water (Pamukkale). Absolutely beautiful! We would highly recommend this tour and do ask for Dory!

We had an excellent experience exploring Ephesus with our tour guide, Arda. His explanations were fascinating, informative, and easy to understand. He was attentive, knowledgeable, and patient throughout the tour, taking the time to answer all our questions and ensuring that everyone felt comfortable. Arda truly brought the history of Ephesus to life, and we highly recommend him to anyone visiting the area. It’s worth the money.
Excellent fascinating experience just make sure you bring a personal fan and parasol Food very tasty our guide Toga was great
This was an excellent company to work with. From the beginning starting with booking and confirmation details on how to meet up with guide, until drop off after Tour was completed, this was an outstanding experience. Communication top notch, Meeting deliverables, in terms of getting us back to Cruise Ship on time, exemplary at every level. Derya was the name of our Guide and she did an excellent job!
Thank you to both our tour guide Seyhan and driver for the wonderful experience today. They were very professional, thoughtful, and organized, which made our trip very enjoyable. We were able to see the amazing Pamukkale and Hierapolis, and they also ensured we returned to the ship on time safely. Very much appreciated!
We had a beautiful visit to Pamukale with Emel, our tour guide. It was very comfortable day in nice private vehicle. Emel went at our pace and shared knowledge about the place. Her knowledge and passion for her work was commendable. This was our second trip with her in two days, her tips and schedule suggestions were perfect for the place despite the public holiday crowds. We had a great time, thank you Emel and Travelshow.
Wonderful tour experience with Goksel. Very easy to understand. Fascinating demonstrations of ceramics and Turkish carpets. Fun to try Turkish coffee and fabulous lunch. Highly recommend this tour of Ephesus.
Arda was great! He was very knowledgeable and made us feel extremely comfortable and secure along the way! We came from a cruise and would highly recommend...and yes we did get back in time for our ship departure 👍🏼
Amazing Pamukkale tour! Great lunch, comfy drive, and learned so much. Our tour guide, Tolga, is very outgoing and fun!
Aidan was a great tour guide. We enjoyed our day with him. Bring water shoes if you can as the walking to the mineral pools is tough on the feet but so beautiful
Had an amazing day with Abe from start to finish. He was extremely knowledgeable, good personality, and the transportation was safe & professional. Highly recommend this tour as the historic site was fascinating to witness in person. Delicious lunch too.
Tour guide was very affable, but a bit difficult to understand Tour was fascinating, a bit long for us, but we'll worth the price.
Had a wonderful experience with Arda our guide who is very punctual and knowledgeable about his country! Thank you for the experience!
Seemless, professional, and very knowledgable tour guide. Thoroughly enjoyable day with Tolga who is a pleasure to be around.
Arda was very knowledgeable and eager to share his culture and history. The spot is lovely, and our driver was very safe and kind. Comfortable car with good A/C. I loved seeing the stadium and the pools, although it was nicer to look at than to get in because of all the people. Cleopatra’s pool was also closed for renovations at that time, which I think would be a cool experience. We enjoyed the local food and based on our interests, were taken to a nice food store for some goods to take home. As cruise passengers, this tour was very convenient for us because we could customize the timing for our needs. The day went by so fast! We wish we could stay longer.
Our ship broke down in Kusadasi and we were looking for things to do. We found this tour through Viator and it was perfect. The company communicated quickly and accurately. They found us with a sign and brought us to a very comfortable air conditioned mini bus. Elif was our guide and she could not have been more kind or knowledgeable. Pamukkale was stunning. I am so glad we made the trek. Elif made sure we saw the sights comfortably by suggesting we rent a golf cart, which made the trip so much more comfortable on such a hot summer day! Lunch was also quickly served and delicious. I would recommend this tour and tour company to anyone visiting Kusadasi.
We had an amazing time visiting the ancient city and the springs. Our tour guide Arda was great and very knowledgeable.
I spent the day with Adra for a private tour to Pamukalle. He was very accommodating and ensured the experience was relaxed and enjoyable. As a solo traveller it was nice to have the local knowledge and a person to take some pictures at the sites.
We had a truly memorable trip. Arda as the tour guide was extremely helpful and accommodating. He has great knowledge of history and knows deeply about the Pamukale site and surrounding areas. He provided us great insights about the place, its culture and the historical context. We had great conversations with him about the broader history of Turkey and the surrounding regions. I would highly recommend this tour.
Amazing tour. Tolga was a great guide with great suggestions and also adapted to things we did and didn’t want to do. Saw some great ruins. Pamukkale is amazing. My wife got to paraglide. Wow. Book this tour!
Great experience an amazing place. Our guide was relaxed and patient and provided a lot of information. We are already planning our next visit Thank you Tolga
Lovely way to see Pamukkale with only a day to spare. We came off a cruise ship and only had limited time but the company assured us we would be back in time and we were! Was such a beautiful place to see. We went into the pools and had a great time taking pictures and looking around. The private car was spacious and our tour guide was very kind and friendly.
Excellent Tour from Kusadasi Cruise Port to Pamukkale Historic Site with new Car and Safe Driver for 3 Hour Drive. At Pamukkale a local knowledge Guide took us thru the site. Total Tour was a comfortable 9 hours,
We had an amazing time. Our tour guide Mustafa was the absolute best. He is very knowledgeable about everything we toured and had great history lessons throughout the city. Please give him a raise he deserves all of the blessings. Thank you Mustafa for making our tour AMAZING!
The fact that they were willing to take us to Pamukkale when other companies denied due to time restriction was appreciated! We had plenty of time to spare, while seeing everything we wanted and more! Huseyin was incredibly personable, professional, and knowledgeable. The views were out of this world. I highly recommend this tour!
The views were amazing! The experience was unforgettable and had a wonderful guide who told us all the history of the area. We had plenty of time to enjoy each site without being rushed.
Our family of four was very impressed written our tour to see Pammukale travertine pools, the ruins of Hierapolis and Cleopatra's Antique pool. Our lunch was delicious and authentic to Turkey, including soup, salad, Turkish pizza, and tea. The drive to and from the sites we're in a comfortable, roomy, air conditioner van. Our driver did a fantastic job driving safely and keeping us on schedule. Our tour guide, Elif, was amazing. She was so knowledgeable and shared many facts, information about history culture, mythology, etc., answering our questions along the way. We would highly recommend this tour with the company Travelshow, that we booked through Viator.
Great guide- Goksel was very knowledgeable and taught us about the history of Turkey. Amazing food and atmosphere! I would recommend!
Well organised service, very customer orientated, fulfilled all our needs and very helpful. Had very enjoyable trip to Pamukalle, spent good amount of time and seen Pamukalle to the full without any rushing. Trusting and recommend this operator 100% Thank you for your service and very enjoyable time.
We an Indian couple, heartily appreciate The Travel Showtime for the praiseworthy service we received during our trip to Pamukkale on 12th May. It was a wonderful experience of journey in a nice clean car driven by smiling driver Mr.Yahuz and with our leader an incredible guide Mr.Tolga. Thank you very very much!Your knowledge and enthusiasm made every moment special. We are truly grateful for the genuine care and attention you provided throughout the tour. You made our experience memorable. Thank You ! We will be meeting again.
We are a family of 4 from Singapore in May 2024. I saw the good reviews of Travelshow and contacted Tolga. He was very responsive and communicates clearly. We took 3days2nights tour with him where he & his driver picked us up from Antalya. We did the Pamakuele & Ephesus route. We stayed in a thermal hotel and then a nice hotel at Kudasai. Whole tour went smoothly. Tolga was a great guide and very informative and CARING. He made sure we have enough drinks and even stopped by to get us fresh strawberries. His car was new and clean. Highly recommend this private tour who will take care of everything from hotel bookings to lunches which are included in the tour on both days and a dinner on the first night.
What a beautiful experience with knowledgeable and amazing staff. Ms. Tuba was friendly, attentive, and overall a great tour guide. The driver was so helpful with assisting my mother with a wheelchair so she could experience the whole thing. I would highly recommend this company!!!!
It was amazing biblical tour of 7 churches of revelation. Tour guide Mr. Tolga was very friendly and having excellent expertise in biblical history of all the churches, ancient history of Turkiye and food culinair as well. We will recommend him as your tour leader when you visit Turkiye as we had great moment with him during the private tour. Thank you wish u all the best - Rumpoko (Jakarta, Indonesia)
Tolga is the 3rd generation of travel guides in his family, and the experience shows. He is very knowledgeable in the history of his fascinating country, and communicates well. We enjoyed the day with him very much, and would travel with him again. Highly recommended!
Great communication from Nazim show us the history of Ephesus and what it is about. Took us to the ruins to discover the history of what Turkey offers
It was a great tour, we really enjoyed seeing Pamukkale and had a lot of fun. Would highly recommend this tour!
Our guide was so kind and willing to answer all our questions, the transport was super comfortable and we had the time to enjoy the terraces so no rush at all.
Had an awesome time at this tour! Got to paraglide, swim and experience beautiful scenery. Tolga was funny and engaging and very knowledgeable. Overall, would definitely recommend it
Favourite part was that Tolga( our guide) had a very good knowledge of the place and also knew all the local people who helped us to go for paragliding, swimming in thermal baths especially before it got very crowded. Must take this tour for personalized experience and to get away from crowds and enjoy every moment at our own pace .
Absolutely beautiful and amazing. Tolga and Tugba are fantastic guides who are very knowledgeable attentive and accommodating. We are very thankful for their hospitality and have learned lots about Turkey, it’s history, culture and people. Highly recommended.
I enjoyed the wonderful experience at Pamukkale with Mr. Tolga. How is a wonderful and experienced agent. Pamukkale is a natural wonder with lot of calcium pools and history. If anyone is visiting Turkey, I recommend them to contact Mr. Tolga for a nice experience. A must try experience here is also the para gliding over the beautiful calcium mountains, which gives it a nice view from top.
The experience with Travel Show, Turkey - Kusadasi was excellent. The tour operator and also the owner Mr. Tolga was friendly, gentle and courteous. Pamukkale has breath taking scenery and pre historic calcium ponds. Great for photography and views. If you are in Kusadasi / Izmir and looking for a good time, please do contact Mr. Tolga, he would the best. We were satisfied with the service and recommend him to the others as well.
We booked our entire excursions in Istanbul and Cappadocia including Cappadocia tour from izmir with Travel show. All the tours were amazing and very timely. My personal favourites were the Cappadocia tour. We have visited the underground city, red valley and imagination valley. Finished the day with sunset quad bike which was extraordinary. Thank you Tolga for providing such lovely service. Hope to see you again for the hot air balloon flight which we missed.
To good place, guidance of tour super, food enovioirment everything small small things taken care, detailed explanation all no words
It was a truly amazing sight at Pamukkale- one that I will never forget till the day I die. It was so , so beautiful, so white and so magical. It is true the journey was a long one but because of comfortable Mercedes provided by Tolga we didn’t feel it. Plus, our tour guide Nazim kept us well-informed about the landscape, people and their livelihoods. Nazim was always very careful and concerned with where we walked as both of us are in our sixties and have knee problems. All in all we had a real great time at Pamukkale and the best thing was our lunch was also free and it was authentic Turkish food all thanks to Travelshow Travel Agency.
Had a full day tour of Pammukale with the guide named Pinar. She was thoroughly professional and had extensive knowledge of the area. She guided all the way through. She was accommodating as we had kids and she was very considerate of it, though it was a group tour. My only advice to future travelers is that do please check the weather before visiting as it was utterly hot in the second week of August
An amazing guide. The private vehicle was very comfortable, Tolga was knowledgeable, kind , attentive and friendly. Would surely recommend him for the tours around Izmir
Great communication and very knowledgeable! Family run business and personalized experience. We did back to back tours and both were great tours. Thank you!
Excellent tour! Kutay was a great guide!!! Attentive and super available for us to make much better use of the time. Also speaks perfectly well Spanish!! I highly recommend this tour!!
Naš vodić bio je super. Pun informacija o mjestu, povijesti... Okupali smo se u termalnim vodama, te poslije išli probati lokalnu kuhinju. Preporuka.... Yes
