Well-constructed, well-planned, and exceptionally well-led tour of Gallipoli and Troy. Our guide Burak has an immense knowledge of the region and brought the events fully to life with engaging dialogue and an effortless ability to make the group feel welcome and at ease. Having been on several tours, this was definitely the best.

After three years waiting my Mother and I finally made it to Turkey (thanks to Covid) Crowded House couldn't have been more helpful. Ramazan, the manager arranged for us to visit a particular war cemetery that is not on the usual itinerary in search of a relative's grave. We visited the Gallipoli WW1 sites with Hasan, who was incredibly knowledgeable and really cared about telling the whole story, making sure that we knew our relative's story, wherever possible. We visited Troy with Baruck, who brought the whole place to life, and was very good humoured throughout the trip! Our boat trip to the landing beaches was on a smaller boat than we expected, but was an unforgettable experience. Safe, calm professional drivers in very comfortable minibuses. Worth every penny and highly recommended

This was a fantastic side trip. I arrived in the early hours of the day the trip was to commence. I was concerned as I had not reconfirmed, but they turned up on time and ready for me to climb aboard.It is a 4 hour trip Eceabat near Gallipoli, but in the early hours Istanbul is soon left behnd. They stop halfway for a breakfast break. You pay this yourself. Biggest challenge is working out how to eat Turkish food. The bus is new and very comfortable. When you arrive at Crowded House main office in Eceabat you are greater by a very organised woman who speaks good English and lets you know what’s happening for the day. You commence with a nice lunch around 1:00 pm. After this you head to Gallipoli and you are provided with an excellent Guide, Burak. Although I have read a fair bit of Gallipoli material, nothing beats being there and the Guide also provides evidence that some of the ideas about the landing are not substantiated by fact. The tour is well balanced and comprehensive from an Australian and New Zealand perspective. You return to Eceabat about 5:30 pm a tad tired. You look after your own evening meal and I was over nighted in the Crowded House Hotel. This is quite adequate, except it would be worth taking the ferry across to the other side Cannukule, which is a much larger and more dynamic area for the evening. The next morning a Turkish breakfest is provided, I was still trying to work out how to make it work. You have free time until 12:00 pm and then you have a supplied lunch at around 1:00 pm, same as the day before. Then the ferry across to Asia to experience an informative and interesting tour of Troy. The bus heads back to Istanbul around 5:30 pm and stopping halfway at a different location for dinner, you buy this yourself. The drive is long but you do have an added bonus of seeing some beautiful countryside. I was very surprised to find out that much of the Gallipoli area is wonderful fertile farmland. The roads you travel on are very safe and expressway standard. I did this side trip by myself and would thoroughly recommend it to anyone who has two days to spare. Some do as a day trip, but this would be very tiring as you are looking at 8 plus hours of driving or being driven. My only suggested improvements would be to provide the option or encouragement to visit Çanakkale on the other side of the Dardanelles, if not to sleep but in the morning before you meet for the Troy tour. Also a quick briefing on how to arrange Turkish food for breakfast would be helpful.
