Heldags Troy & Gallipoli-tur (från Canakkale)

It took more than one hour to get out of istanbul, due to the very many hotel stops to get people. The driver is talking on the phone while driving, both drivers, on the way to Troy and the return. The food was terrible, very poor quality in our opinion. We found the guide in Troy rude, his jokes offesnsive, and we felt we didn't see the whole troy ruin compound available.

An absolute joy to undertake a tour that was first class from the outset. Guides were so very knowledgable, well prepared and efficient. In the six hours on the island we covered so many sights driven by a safe driver in a clean van. Guides also had historical photos to compare 1915 to present day. A sombering experience for two Kiwis but grateful to honour our past. Crowded House Tours was very good value and highly recommended.

We had an excellent experience with Ibrahim in Pergamo and Troy. Canakkale is a beautiful city with a quieter pace compared to Izmir or Istanbul. Ibrahim knows the story very well and made the tour very entertaining. I definitely recommend it.

We have just spent a fantastic day visiting Troya & Gallipoli. Gallipoli is a must see and our tour guide Burak was sensational. Very knowledgeable and very friendly ( and funny) . Would highly recommend this tour if your coming to Türkiye

It was an amazing experience !!!, our guide very aware of every detail , we enjoyed it very much , we highly recommend it

My wife and myself are Irish and although we wanted to visit Suvla Bay and the Anzac areas we really wanted to visit Seed el Bahr and asked Crowded House if they could arrange this. They agreed and the extra money for this addition was not a large amount and so so worth it. We were lifted at our hotel in Istanbul exactly on time and met our guide Ibrahamin at their offices in Eceabat. Ibrahamin was brilliant in the sense that he was so knowledgeable and answered all our questions. Vey professional and an unforgettable day. Thank you so much

We had a fantastic tour with Burak to Troy and Galipoli. He was very knowledgeable and very funny, and I would recommend him and the tour to everyone. He even went out of his way and found the name of a relative of mine on the Helles point memorial.

The visit of Troy was really interesting. The visit to Gallipoli, on the other hand, was a little long and a little redundant because we went around several cemeteries. The dinner was also very ordinary.

Hassan is a truly superb guide. It is not easy to guide people around the battlefields of Gallipoli. The locations are extraordinarily beautiful, but what happened there was almost unimaginably horrible. And, of course, most people are on holiday, although some may be on a personal pilgrimage. Hassan managed a very well-judged combination of empathy, humour, and detail, while giving everybody space to reflect and relax. His knowledge of the Gallipoli campaign is deep. He countered many myths about the ANZAC forces' time there, while being respectful of the importance of Gallipoli in those countries national stories.

Charlie was an excellent tour guide. He was full of knowledge but more importantly, he really made history come alive in how he told the story. He looked after us all very well and made an effort to connect with each person in the group. I highly recommend this tour.
