Well organised and structured day tour from Istanbul to all of the major ANZAC sites on the Gallipoli Peninsula. Clean and modern van with pick up and drop off direct from/to hotel. Made sure to have breaks for drinks and food during the long drive there and back. Sureyya, our English speaking tour guide, was excellent. He provided interesting background on Turkish history and points of interest along the way and was very knowledgeable about the Gallipoli Peninsula. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to do a day trip to Gallipoli from Istanbul.
It’s a very long day but well worth it. The driver and guide did a great job. We were given lots of information and the day was very interesting.
Our tour guide Kadir Kurt, was very knowledgeable and polite and tailored the tour to our needs and timing. Our driver Sercan was experienced professional and polite.
From Aussie 4 this tour, amazing, awesome guide Sebnem, she showed us everything, took photos of us & gave us plenty of time, great driver as well
This was an outstanding experience for the whole family. The tour guide, the tour bus, the tailoring to suit our family, which spanned three generations with different needs and capabilities, and the opportunity to tailor the day to connect with our family history at Gallipoli. So incredibly impressed, and left us all with memories and an incredible experience to hold to for our lifetime. Thank you
spent the day with Volkan as our trusted guide and couldn’t speak highly enough of him. He was extremely knowledgeable of events leading up to and during WW1 with all countries involved in the Gallipoli conflict. His insight into the history of Turkish involvement added to the already emotional experience. We would highly recommend volkan and his team to show you an Anzac experience to remember.Friendly team and prompt responses made it easy to book online. Richard/yasmin
So glad we did a private tour and able to go at our own pace. Highly recommend leaving really learning and getting to the area before the tour bus rush! Our guide was excellent, very informative and was able to accommodate our needs. The only thing is he didn’t introduce himself and had no idea what his name was till I read his name tag. Thank you Volkan and guided Istanbul tours. Brilliant day. Highly recommend
It a must do tour. A very moving and interesting day and giving plenty of reason to reflect on the events that occurred.
Great day tour from Istanbul. Our Guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. The vehicle was very clean and driver was very good.
We did a day trip from Istanbul to Galipolli and return. It is a very long day but a truely amazing experience. While everyone knows the background and story about the campaign to see the actual location and topography first hand really shows the amazing spirit and tenacity of the ANZAC’s and all other Nations soldiers during the battle. A bucket list must for all Australians. Our guide Sherraia and driver were excellent. Their passion and enthusiasm completed the experience.
