I'm happy to help you write a review for the 3 days 2 nights of the Gallipoli and Troy tour: Tour Company and Guide: I recently went on the 2 days 1 night Gallipoli and Troy tour with Toursce tour company and our guide Leyla. I must say, I was thoroughly impressed with the knowledge and professionalism displayed by our guide throughout the tour. Itinerary: The itinerary was well-planned and gave us enough time to explore each destination without feeling rushed. We visited the iconic sites of Gallipoli and learned about the history of the region, including the significance of the ANZAC troops. We also explored the ancient city of Troy, which was a highlight of the tour for me. Transportation and Accommodation: The transportation provided by the tour company was comfortable, and our driver was skilled at navigating the narrow and winding roads of the region. The accommodation was also comfortable and located in a convenient location, making it easy for us to explore the area in our free time. Overall Experience: The tour was an unforgettable experience, and I highly recommend it to anyone interested in learning more about the history and culture of this region. Our guide was friendly, and knowledgeable, and went above and beyond to ensure that we had a great experience. The sites we visited were breathtaking, and the stories we learned about the ANZAC troops and the ancient city of Troy were both fascinating and emotional. Recommendations: I highly recommend this tour to anyone interested in exploring the Gallipoli and Troy region. I suggest bringing comfortable walking shoes and a camera to capture the beautiful landscapes and historic sites. Additionally, be prepared for a lot of walking, as some of the sites require a bit of trekking to reach. Overall, I had an incredible experience on the 2 days 1 night Gallipoli and Troy tour and would highly recommend it to anyone looking to explore the history and culture of this fascinating region.
We had a really very good two days with our professional guide and driver in Canakkale, Gallipoli, and ancient Troy. An easy on time pick up from our hotel location near Taksim and out west to the Gallipoli, stopping at the Turkish cemetery and then on to Kapatepe war site where we had a thorough ground and history brief from the guide before proceeding to ANZAC Cove and on up to Chunuk Bair via Shrapnel Gully, the Nek, Lone Pine, and Walkers Ridge. The hotel was in the center of Canakkale. On day two we headed for ancient Troy. A well excavated and fabulously organised track around the ruins of the town spanning thousands of years of occupation. Also, the Troia museum is also well worth the visit. Full marks to Toursce travel group, to tour guide and the driver for a great trip. Highly recommended for pilgrimage to ANZAC sites and a visit to Troy.
I was solo travel in Turkey. I was lucky to find your website and choose you. I felt so safe and all tour program was well arranged. Thank you so much I will highly recommend you to my friends. Gallipoli war peninsula and ancient Troy must visit.
Very informative guided 2 days tour. We really enjoyed our 2 day/1 night tour especially the guides, organizations, skilled drivers, and hotel in Canakkale. Be prepared for 4,5 hours of driving each day though and an early start for pickup and a late return around 10:30 pm. Azra our Gallipoli guide was fabulous and certainly gave a factual tour, changed my mind about the events of our brave diggers in a sensitive manner on the peninsula. Troy (Troia) was also very good too, definitely need a guide to explain everything to you. That is why we have been very happy to be on this tour. The hotel we stayed in Canakkale was very comfortable and nice. Their breakfast was good. We had lunch as part of the first-day tour, it was ok but nothing special! You are going to be tired at the end of the tour but you will be glad you went.
I did not know what to expect on this tour. But what an extra special treat Troy was. Would recommend it to anyone, come and visit Troy.
