2-Day Troy and Gallipoli Tour from Istanbul

Words are hard to describe the experience of Gallipoli…As Australians we felt a deep emotional connection. This was enhanced by Omer’s detailed knowledge and local perspective. His Troy stories were also enlightening. Omer tailored his commentary and itinerary to our specific interests. Our driver, Murat was exceptional!

Both staff were obliging, attentive, friendly and very professional.

We would highly recommend this experience!

Fa was so knowledgeable & enthusiastic. it was a pleasure exploring Gallipoli & Troy with him. We loved his imagination & storytelling of Athena while at Troy.

We hav we just completed our Troy / Gallipoli two day tour...a great experience. Day 1 saw us visit the "stacked" city of Troy, plus a quick visit to the naval museum...up close and personal in a submarine! Day 2 was the Gallipoli tour...a must for all Aussies and Kiwis. Through it all, our guide Omer was well organised, helpful and good fun to be with...add our trusty and skilled driver Jengis and it made for a great tour. Slightly less enthused with the Hilton Hotel at Cannakale...efficient I suppose, but snooty...we weren't made to feel welome at all. Rest of the trip? Awesome!

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).

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.

Great trip. Guide was very knowledgable and informative, was always very pleasant and friendly and spoke very good English.

Meal breaks were very good (especially lunch on the 2nd day) and the accommodation at the overnight stop in Çanakkale was Of a high standard.

We had a really good two days with Onur our Guide and Safi our Driver. An easy on time pick up from our Air BnB location near Galata Tower and out west to the Gallipoli Peninsula, stopping at the Turkish aid station memorial and cemetery and then on to Kapatepe where we had a thorough ground and history brief from Onur before proceeding to ANZAC Cove and on up to Chunuk Bair via Shrapnel Gully, Lone Pine, the Nek and Walkers Ridge. Excellent commentary from Onur along the way. Day two we headed for Troy. A well excavated and wonderfully organised track around the ruins of the town spanning thousands of years of occupation. The museum is also well worth the visit. Full marks to Fez travel and to Onur and Safi for a great trip. Highly recommended.

Excellent tour. Good value, in comfortable bus with wi-fi and good local guide,
