- We had an outstanding experience on our tour with Crowded House Tours. The first day guided by the exceptional Hasan, his deep knowledge of the campaign, paired with a warm, friendly manner and sharp sense of humour, made the day both engaging and enlightening. Hasan’s commitment to ongoing research really stood out — he continually updates his understanding of the battlefields and is passionate about dispelling common myths, ensuring we left with a more accurate and respectful appreciation of the history. An unforgettable and enriching experience. The next day we visited Troy with our guide, Simge. Her passion for the ancient city was evident from the start, bringing the ruins and their stories vividly to life. Simge’s depth of knowledge and ability to explain the complex layers of Troy’s history in an engaging and accessible way made the experience both educational and captivating. Her enthusiasm was infectious, leaving us with a deeper appreciation for the site and its enduring significance. Everything was well organised and well priced we wouldn't hesitate to use Crowded House again the future.

Great experience - The tour was a small group, which meant we could visit more sites and ask questions. For the Gallipoli tour, the guide was knowledgeable and had been doing this for 15 years, so he knew the history. The time at each stop was just right except for North Beach, where, as an Australian, there was a weight and sense of history that needed a bit more than 10 mins to absorb. Other than that, it was an excellent tour. The Troy tour was also excellent with a knowledgeable and experienced guide and a small group that made the tour enjoyable.

Two days well spent - The trip was not only well organised but well paced.Gallipoli was well explained from the perspective of both sides which gave a real sense of the horror of the campaign.Likewise at Troy the different layers of the time periods were made clear.would have liked some time at the new Troy museum .pickup transport and accomodation was al very good

Gallipoli &Troy - a must for both - Fully packed two day tour with very well organised hand offs and transfers. Very friendly staff with guest comfort at the centre of their hearts. Just be aware that the Gallipoli trip does require frequent off and on to the tour bus as many interesting sites are close by. The Troy trip has many steps though all very manageable but need to wear sensible shoes.

An exceptional experience! - We did the 2 day Gallipoli & Troy tour from Istanbul! The entire tour was absolutely fantastic! We cannot speak more highly of the experience! Every detail, from hotel pick up to drop off was organised to perfection! All staff were amazing but we cannot speak more highly of our tour guide who was absolutely brilliant! He was very informative, was an exceptional story teller & made everyone in our group feel comfortable! And we struck gold when we had him for our 2nd day tour as well! We would highly recommend this tour to anyone!!

Fantastic Tour - This was an excellent tour. Very well organised - pick ups rests communication etc Highlight was definitely our guides - Charlie for Gallipoli and Hassan for Troy. Both really knowledgeable and explained the background and history exceptionally well. Good fun too. Both sites are fascinating and well worth seeing. We stayed overnight in Çanakkale which is a lovely town and our hotel - Arthur - was very nice. Great to have downtime there after an early start Coach - minivan - was very comfortable between 10 and 14 of us typically in it so nice small groups. We were back in our hotel in Istanbul just after 9pm I would highly recommend this tour
