This tour was fantastic! - This trip was so well organised! We were well taken care of from start to finish. We had plenty of time for photos and food (everything was delicious!), and we were picked up and dropped off right around the corner from our hotel. I would absolutely recommend this tour!

Amazing/ extremely recommended - amazing. lots of information, mythology and archaeology. our guide Ibrahim IBO was extremely detailed and very funny. we learned a lot but also laughed a lot. the place to visit is friendly, with wooden bridges, trees and benches from time to time. it was much more welcoming than we expected and we traveled with my 87 year old grandmother. too short a time and we didn't have time to visit the Troya museum. I recommend 2 days but even 1 day is very good. Canakkale no is very cheap comparing to Istanbul. it's worth staying longer.

Interesting - The Troy element of the tour was very interesting and informative, the guide had a great deal of information. The lunch (at 11am) wasn't fantastic, but was passable. The dinner stop was good, my husband reports that it was a surprise that the best burger he has now ever had came from a service station. The coach transfer from Istanbul was interesting, it wasn't the drivers fault that something came off the road and smashed the ceiling window, however glass did fall down onto people as we didn't pull over for sometime and the fix was to find cardboard at a service station some way up the road. I would recommend this trip for the Troy element.

It’s a long ride but liked it - It was good. Picked up and driven there. I would say the only down side was the amount of time it took. Didn’t know we were going to take the ferry but hey that happens. The guides were good. One member had a medical issue on the tour which diverted the guide to helping them. But got back after taking care of it to finishing the tour.
