It was an amazing and really interesting tour! Our guide Burak was so passionate, enthusiastic and educated! He told us a lot in details, showed illustrations! Moreover, the transfer was good and comfortable, everything was on time and good! My hubby and I were delighted. Hope to visit some more places with guide Burak one day! (Soon)

Great tour guide. The driver was nice too. This was a cheap excursion so I highly recommend everyone do it. Ask for Charley to be your guide.

How brilliant to be able to see and walk through 5000 years of history. The walls date back to 3000 BC and there was evidence even of the settlement that predated the walls. The guide at Troy itself was knowledgeable and entertaining, answering all questions in an engaging manner.

Wonderful experience. The pick up was right on time. We travelled in a very comfortable minibus to the breakfast stop where you can buy a full meal or just snacks. It's then onto the lunch stop at a traditional Turkish Restaurant in the Gallipoli area. Our lovely guide Simge then took us across the Dardanelles by ferry. Our first stop was the Wooden Horse used in the 2004 film Troy. It was then onto Troy itself. As someone who loves the works of Homer and Ancient Greece it was wonderful to be in the ancient city. Simge is a great guide and told us so much about the different layers of the city as she took us around the entire site. It was then back to the ferry then onto an evening stop for food or snacks in the same place as breakfast. We were then dropped back to our hotel in Istanbul. The drivers were extremely good, our guide was fantastic, and we highly recommend this tour and the tour company.
