ANZAC Day Traveller Reviews - On The Go Tours

the tour was really fast paced. maybe a bit to fast for the age group on our bus. the drinks were expensive at the hotels we stayed at, this may have been inflated due to a captive audience or their normal prices, i'm not sure but $5 for a glass of coke is dear. there was not time given to actually look around the Gallipoli peninsular which was disappointing. the fact that there was not enough hoodies for every one on our bus was really poor. our travel agent had emailed you with our sizes but they were not available. my husband wears a 6xl (Aus size), we were told a 4xl was ordered for him but this ended up on another bus. in the end he took a xl so that at least he had one, and my 2xl was not available either. this was really disappointing as we had made the effort to inform your company of our sizes.

on a good note Tolga our guide was really good. he was a wealth of information about many things to do with Turkey both historical and modern along many fronts to do with religious, political, social and economical aspects. he was also very helpful when we could not understand or get across our wants/needs due to the language barrier in some places. ”  

Emrah made our tour sensational! He went above & beyond to ensure we did not have to wait any longer than necessary for meals & tours. He would often ring through our orders ahead of time, to stream line the process & in most restaurants & cafes, we were served first, while other tour groups had to line up. He was very knowledgeable about Turkey & its history & he was extremely personable. He always made sure we were informed & that we could locate him at all time. Emrah quickly became our friend, he did not feel like a tour guide. I would certainly request a tour with him again. Emrah was passionate about his country but was able to give an objective view. His English was excellent & was able to relate to all the ages on the bus. He helped us fall in love with Turkey even more! My 24 year old son is not normally a 'tour' type person but Emrah's genuine care & regard for everyone made us feel safe, educated & enthused, even after some very long days. Any tour group with Emrah is in for a 'fantastic' time. Kerrie”  

The tour met all our expectations and was well organised- with very good communication.

Tour guide Emrah was exceptional. In our eight years of overseas touring he was by far the best guide that we have experienced. His English was excellent, he had exceptional knowledge of his country and history and had excellent interpersonal skills. ”
