Our guide was ok, but struggled with English and repeated himself a lot. Apart from that, the trip was well organised and worth doing.
We had a great time on this trip - was great to see in person a piece of Aussie/Kiwi history. It was a long day, but we were given so much information from a wonderful tour guide once there in Gallipoli. Don't expect too much on the bus trip - we were hardly given any information to or from Gallipoli which we were hoping for. We did however have the opportunity to watch a Gallipoli documentary on the way back in the bus which was good. Would definitely recommend this if you have any interest - it is a very informative, educational and eye opening day.
Magnificent tour in every respect. Every Australian should do it. Guide professional and very informative. Would highly recommend this tour company. Transport comfortable and trip very pleasant over such a long distance. Saw all the sights and with expert cometary, it put the entire confrontation into perspective for both countries. Plenty of time left at each site for visual and contemplation.
Excellent trip, but exhausting. Guide, who lives in Canakkale, was nice and very informative. I recommend this trip, but be prepared because the whole trip takes about 17 hours.
A very long day , but most informative and a memory that will last forever thanks Terry and Karen
I was very much looking forward to seeing Gallipoli desipute the long drive to do it in one day, particularly to see the site where my great-grand father had fought.
We were picked up late from our hotel even though our booking and we had received no communication we would be travelling under another tour company.
The transport was most definately not an air conditioned coach as the booking form says, but rather a mini-van with air conditioning that leaked water on us, bad suspension and a driver who drove very inappropriately (speeding, swerving, braking hard etc) that even my hoon of a husband felt like complaining then and there! For such a long journey I expected something a little more comfortable.
The food was average, lunch was reasonable but dinner we just stopped at a service station which really only had one hot food option - I would recomend bringing your own dinner!
Now all that aside, down to the actual tour of Gallipoli. Our guide was good, but not fantastic. He gave us a good overview but not too much detail - he said he didn't want to bore us with detail but that is exactly what we were there for! Being Australian we already knew the overview fairly well, although to his credit he gave a very good wider explanation of WW1. I mentioned by great-grathers squadran to him, but he basically just said "oh OK" and offered no further informaiton.
The reason I rate this "worth doing" is that we still enjoyed visited Gallipoli very much as it is a special place.
There are alot of good reviews about a female guide, perhaps these people actual did travel.
This was a very long day but well worth the travel time . Well organised .
Well organized trip, well-informed and friendly guide, good atmosphere, travelled with a small group of people which was good.
unfortunately the trip is very long (5h drive one way), but it is definetely worth seeing!
This was one of the best tours I have ever done. Excellent value for money and so informative, brilliant tour guide. I would recommend this to anyone that is interested in Gallipoli and Troy.
Our Gallipoli trip started later than forecast by the operator but other than that small issue the trip went asa described. The bus was comfortable, the guide was professional, the tour covered all the key points of the battlefield from both sides. Be aware the drivers in Istanbul survive by inches do not be alarmed they are very good.
Brilliant tour - highly recommend! Excellent Tour Guide, great hotel. Very interesting information provided about both Gallipoli and Troy. Had a fabulous time - thankyou!
Overall, a positive experience. We enjoyed the view of the Dardenelles, the history of the Gallipoli battlefield, and especially the tour of the ruins of Troy/Ilium. It was worth the overnight stay, and our accommodations at resort hotel outside of Cannikale were very pleasant.
It was good to have hotel pickup and dropoff in Istanbul. However, the pickup was 45 minutes late (the guide apologized), as they had difficulties finding hotels. Our dropoff was near, but not at, our hotel in Sirkece.
It seemed that the subcontractor, was somewhat disorganized. There various groups on different itineraries overlapping. Our guide for Troy, while knowledgeable, had no idea whether we were supposed to return to Istanbul that night.
In the end, we spent about two hours at Troy. I would have liked at least two more hours to explore the site on my own. Perhaps the tour could be reorganized to allow for more time at this world historical site. The Aussies love ANZAC cove, where we spent an entire afternoon. But we were more interested in Troy, where little time was spent, after a five-hour busride in each direction.
