Very long day, was a 10 hour tour, but ended up being 15 hours. The tour guide chary was excellent from crowded house tours
The Gallipoli tour was great. The tour guide made the day. The transport to and from was comfortable with stops for rest breaks and snacks. Borak the tour guide was outstanding. He had a real passion for the history of the conflict and events leading up to it. Crowded House Tours were very professional and well organised.
To say this was a bucket list item would be an understatement. The experience from start to finish with seamless and first class. The tour was amazing and the tour guide is quite literally one of the best tour guides I’ve ever had in any tour I’ve been on anywhere in the world. His knowledge of the war and particularly the Australian and Kiwi component of it was so in-depth it was humbling and scary. His demeanor was typical Aussie, even thought he’s Turkish and he’s pretty much what we were described as Aussie larakin !! His name was “Burak” To person wanting to book this to her particularly if you’re an Aussie or a Kiwi, this should be your first choice for any day trip you look at Highly recommended

We are especially delighted to hear how much you enjoyed your day with Burak. We will be sure to share your wonderful comments with him—he is deeply passionate about Gallipoli's history and always strives to bring the stories of the ANZACs and all those who fought there to life with both knowledge and respect. We know he will be thrilled to hear your feedback. It was a pleasure to host you, and we sincerely appreciate you recommending our tour to future Australian and New Zealand travelers. We hope to welcome you back to Türkiye again someday, whether for another historical journey or to explore more of our beautiful country. Safe travels and thank you once again for choosing us!
