I would like to thank you for sorting out a fantastic tour for us. Bulent “Bill” was the perfect guide and we all felt much more informed about what happened and why it happened. We have gained a real respect and affection for the Turkish people as a result of our time up there and will definitely recommend your services to others. Our driver Hassan was also brilliant. He is an excellent driver and we all felt very comfortable with him behind the wheel.
Gallipoli was deeply moving with so much history around every corner. Troy’s ancient walls and artifacts were fascinating to explore. This tour gave me a meaningful insight into both sites and their importance.
Loved visiting both Gallipoli and Troy. The guide was very informative and friendly.
A well-organized tour with knowledgeable guides. Gallipoli and Troy are must-see destinations for history lovers.
I joined the Gallipoli and Troy Tour in one day and honestly… it was one of the most powerful experiences of my entire trip to Turkey.The day was long but very well organized. Transportation was comfortable and on time, and the guide was simply outstanding — incredibly knowledgeable, kind, and full of passion for the history of the region. Walking through ANZAC Cove, Lone Pine, and Chunuk Bair was a deeply moving experience that gave me a new appreciation for what happened there. Then visiting ancient Troy, with its ruins and mythical past, was like stepping into a completely different world.What struck me most was how much history, emotion, and beauty were packed into a single day. I never felt rushed, and there was plenty of time to take in the sights and reflect.If you're visiting Turkey and are even slightly interested in history, don’t think twice about this tour. It was incredibly meaningful and something I’ll never forget.
