The ancient region of Anatolia makes up most of central Turkey and its folklore has shaped much of the country's wider culture and customs. And this world-famous show tells you the story of its past through the medium of dance.

Featuring the incredible ‘Fire of Anatolia' dance troupe, it's Turkey's answer to Riverdance. Cue a cast of 120 dancers stepping, stomping and swirling to traditional folk music from the Black Sea to the Balkans. And ballet and acrobatic modern dance acts are all backed by swirling Turkish music and drumming. Add dazzling lighting and costumes and you've got yourself a show to remember.

Look out especially for the fastest dances. ‘Fire of Anatolia' holds the world record for performing the most dance steps in one minute – 241 to be precise. The trip includes transfers to and from the venue, the ancient Aspendos theatre, as well as your entrance tickets.

Picked up late, got to the “restaurant” and given 20 mins to line up for the buffet and eat. Terrible place to eat not fitting the price we paid. Meal probably cost no more than a few £. The show was great. The service from TUI deplorable. The guide was terrible. Gave us no info, made us exit the bus in actual road showed us no meet up point for after the show. Or tell us where the bus would be. We were lucky to find her after. Had to crawl through a barbed wire fence to get back to the bus!

The show was amazing however the service from TUI left a lot to be desired. The pick up and travel there was fine. Mehmet, our guide, left us in the middle of the path to the venue whilst he got tickets, we were then physically pushed through the turnstiles by someone else who was scanning the tickets and then left the other side of the barriers without any info. We didn’t know where to go or sit and most of the best seats were off limits, presumably for people who had bought better tickets

The show was spectacular, fantastic music, performance and lights in beautiful historic surroundings.

The show was amazing. The transfer was dreadful. A very old school bus, with little air conditioning, dirty seats with no foam and the springs sticking in our backs. No leg room. My husband is 6' 3" and I am 5' 9" . We where expecting a TUI bus transfer. A long transfer collecting everyone one, then dropped off at a local village restaurant for cold dinner? Not what we expected from TUI for £86 each. Very disappointing that you are letting your customers be treated like this.

Was with a disabled person who they made walk up to the top of the theatre then let just her sit on her own into the top of the V.I.P section while her husband stood behind her through the show and we had to sit separately even though we was supposed to have a night out together. The tour guide was nowhere to be found and when we told him he didn't really care as I suppose he was being paid anyway
