A washed-up showman turned reluctant tour guide, a busload of retirees with nothing left to lose, and a road trip nobody signed up for the way it turns out — that is the setup of Tur Rehberi, a 2025 Turkish comedy directed by Hakan Algül.
What is Tur Rehberi about?
Ercüment used to command a stage. Now he leads tours, a comedown he has clearly not made peace with, and his latest assignment does nothing to help: a group of elderly travelers who treat the trip less like a vacation and more like a last stand. Where a calmer guide might smooth over friction, Ercüment is stuck matching wits and patience with a busload of passengers who have stopped caring about the itinerary and started making their own rules. The film leans on that mismatch for its comedy — a guide trained to perform for an audience now stuck managing one that refuses to follow the script, on a route that keeps threatening to fall apart entirely. Cem Gelinoğlu takes the lead as Ercüment, with Alp Öyken, Atılgan Gümüş and a supporting cast rounding out the tour group's mismatched cast of characters.
About the cast

Context & significance
Tur Rehberi is a Turkish production directed by Hakan Algül, working in the broad ensemble-comedy mode that has long been a staple of Turkish commercial cinema — a familiar setup of mismatched characters thrown together in close quarters, here on the road rather than in a single location. The film's comedy comes from generational and temperamental friction rather than any single running gag.
