    We were picked up on schedule by a great driver and friendly tour guide. After a couple more stops picking up other guests we were on our way. Our group was small and in a smaller bus/van which was nice – no huge tour buses here. Our guide was friendly and knowledgeable and we were able to see all of the sites as expected. Breakfast stop was really good, lunch not great. Would highly recommend this tour! Worth every minute spent on the bus!

    My main purpose of this journey was to visit my great uncle’s grave at Lone Pine. It turned into a very important history lesson about the lead up to the conflict, the conflict itself and the aftermath. Our tour guide, Ikut was an encyclopaedia of historical knowledge. Well worth the long journey from Istanbul.

    This tour was excellent but we did it on 6 June (part of the national Eid holiday) and had I known what the traffic would do to the journey home I would not have done it. We were told we would be home at 10pm but in fact arrived home at 1.30am. The driver handled the situation extremely well but it was very poor that the tour organiser did not inform us of this issue beforehand as it would have materially impacted on our decision to do this tour (the trip home was advertised as 4 hours – it ended up taking 7.5 hours on a stuffy bus with a stopover at an average roadhouse). We were unimpressed with the lack of communication about the fact there would be such a huge delay.
    The tour of the peninsula itself was fantastic. Our guide Burak was entertaining and incredibly knowledgeable.

    Tour guide was extremely knowledgeable and tour bus was comfortable. Would definitely recommend this day trip to Gallipoli.

  5. Gary T

    The trip was well organised, good driver and visited many sites. It is a long day but worth the effort. The issue that we had was with the guide. Although well intentioned and enthusiastic his English was not satisfactory for an English speaking tour. He seemed to have remembered all the facts and figures and delivered them as if reading from a book in a poor style. Our attempts at asking questions were frustrated as he rarely gave an answer relevant to the question which highlighted his lack of English skills. The company needs to provide further english training to him before he takes another tour.

    Whilst we are pleased we did this trip and really enjoyed the incredible settings; although very somber, which was to be expected, our trip was let down due to our guide. He was a very nice person but his command of English significantly compromised our understanding. Fortunately everywhere there is excellent signage in Turkish and English. Without this we would have struggled. We also have a good knowledge of the Gallipoli story anyway.
    This is not a cheap day trip and we felt very let down regarding our guide.

    Our guide was knowledgeable, on time and courteous. Going out of peak period allowed us to be the only people at Anzac Cove. Lunch was included and was good. Only 8 people on the bus of which we were a group of 4

    Burak was a fabulous and knowledgeable guide with a great sense of humour, especially of Australian and New Zealand slang/ phrases. He gave a very thorough run through of Gallipoli and world war 1 with a specific focus on the ANZACs and clarified many details around the landing that I was not aware of.
    The Gallipoli tour itself was great. It would have been helpful if the driver that picked us up from Istanbul had given us an update on how the day would run as this was not mentioned until we got to the local town.
    Otherwise, highly recommend!

    As Australians, my wife and I had always wanted to visit Gallipoli and it did not disappoint. All the sites were amazing and John (our guide) was informative, helpful and all round nice guy. The day is definitely long (4.5 hour drive one way from Istanbul) but we never felt rushed whilst we were in Gallipoli and had ample time to ponder and wander around taking photos. Highly recommend!

    We had a great day at Gallipoli. Guide was on time at our hotel and transport was fantastic. It’s a long day trip from Istanbul and our 10year old did pretty well. Our guide was very knowledgeable and keen to share. Thank you

  11. Sean_O

    Excellent guide with great knowledge. Good food for lunch. Well organised journey overall and well worth visiting. Just be aware it’s a long way from Istanbul.

  12. Cameron_O

    We had a fantastic tour with our guide Alp. He was very knowledgeable about the different sites and cemeteries around the peninsula. Would recommend. Thank you very much for a memorable tour.

    Very knowledgeable Tour Guide and Amazing scenery. Staff took Covid 19 precautions with Masks, Social Distancing and Hand sanitizing.

  14. Nick_Gee

    Absolutely fabulous tour from start to finish. I hadn’t realised how beautiful the peninsular is. The guide was amazing and I have no words for how good our driver from a Istanbul was

  15. Luminita_M

    The tour guide was very knowledgeable and very pleasant. The trip is great for people interested in history. Both me and my husband enjoyed it very much. I recommend it to people wanting to see something different than the regular tourist spots.

    I was promptly picked up at my hotel in a luxury bus, and taken to all the memorable sites in Gallipoli. My guide who was fluent in English gave me all the information, and was very detailed in his knowledge of the area, it’s history, and the significance of it. An unforgettable experience.

    The drive down the European coast of Turkey and seeing the building, agriculture, and the topography of the battle field. The high light was the guide taking two young women to see the grave of their grandfather.
    The hard part was the tour was much longer than advertised. We were picked up at 6:00 AM and not dropped off until 11:30 that night.

  18. Natasha_M

    The guide was extremely knowledgeable and friendly, as well as humorous. It’s a long day, but gives a thorough insight into the Gallipoli campaign.

  19. Paul_B

    One of the best tour guides iv ever had, can’t remember his name. The younger guy with tattoos. He Was really funny and knowledgeable and serious at the same time

  20. Francis_B

    Well informed guide. If it wasn’t so far from Australia it would be the ideal place to bring every young Australian.
