We thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Troy and Gallipoli, mostly because our driver, Cengis, (medicine man🤣)and our guide, Orcun, were both so personable and went out of their way to give us a special Turkish experience. Orcun was knowledgeable about history and made it interesting with many anecdotes, answering all of our questions with patience and enthusiasm. We had such a fun time, especially over a delicious dinner with many laughs. All in all a time to remember and cherish always. We feel like we have made new friends! The day before, we had a tour on foot of Istanbul and our guide was equally fantastic. So sorry but we’re not sure if we remember his name correctly so we won’t write it here. Highly recommend. Teşekkür ederim.

Wow. I am thoroughly impressed. Staying in Istanbul for a month (from America) to work remotely and do graduate school, and decided to take a look at Tripadvisor for some activities. Saw a "2 Day Gallipoli and Troy" trip, for a great price (transportation, meals, hotel stay, tours... everything you need for a great weekend). Coming during the pandemic actually made it a very pleasant (and less crowded) experience, something most people would not experience otherwise. My guide for the Gallipoli Tour (which was only me - was not expecting a private tour!) was INCREDIBLE (my apologies for forgetting, but his name was either Balut or Balun or something similar). He gave me all the historical information I could ever ask for, very knowledgeable, took great pictures for me, and was personable throughout the tour. I am blown away by the service and experience!

Both days had very knowledgeable and experienced guides. Highly recommend you do the two day tour; many of my fellow group members signed up for only one day and lamented the 4.5 hour drive from Istanbul, the 4 hour tour (Gallipoli or Troy) then 4.5 hours back to Istanbul on the bus. Go for the two day tour and see both! Plan for windy weather in Troy (on average 280 days per year).

Gallipoli was amazing and well worth the trip down! We also enjoyed our night over at Canakkale, what a nice town, and the accommodation was fine. The trip was very long and wouldn’t recommend it for a one day trip, however with the night stop over was very manageable. The Troy tour was quite short in time and not as well put together as the Gallipoli tour, I don’t think we would have been happy had we only booked for the one tour, but Gallipoli really saved it. All tour guides were great. Overall would recommend

Great trip with Noursedah (spelling?) and driver Mustapha. We had a smooth trip to Gallipoli and learnt a lot while there. The maritime museum in Canakkale was very interesting and well laid out. This morning we explored Troy, which was amazing. Excellent meals, guide and driver.
