Unreal day today with the crowded house team. Tour Guide Charlie was extremely good at what he does. Great personality, sense of humour but also extremely knowledgeable. Definitely Recommend
Thank you for your kind review 😊
I had a wonderful day visiting Gallipoli with Charlie on this Viator tour. The itinerary was perfectly paced, with just the right amount of time at each stop to appreciate the history without ever feeling rushed. Charlie was an excellent guide—friendly, knowledgeable, and thoughtful in the way he answered questions. He explained the strategic importance of the Gallipoli Peninsula, the perspectives of the different nations involved, and how the campaign unfolded over the days and months with clarity, balance, and diplomacy. His storytelling brought the history to life and made the experience deeply meaningful. A truly special trip that I would highly recommend.

Thank you for your kind review 😊
We were undecided about taking this tour as it was going to be such a long day travelling from Istanbul, but we are so pleased we did! The day was amazing and Baruk was a fantastic tour guide! He was engaging and funny, while still giving the more solemn moments the respect they deserved. The only glitch we had was a mix up in the pick up time. We had a message the day before saying 6:30am, but then the driver was there and expecting us at 6am. There seemed to be mixed messages given to other tour members too, so these procedures may need to be improved.
Thank you for your kind review 😊

We really enjoyed the whole day. It was very informative and sobering, but Hasan certainly was so knowledgeable , and had such a great lot of photos to show us. The lunch was very nice, plenty for everyone. The only down side for my husband and myself, was the it being such a hot day. Hasan certainly made the the day with plenty of jokes and fun things. We would certainly recommend this tour.

This is a long day, about 15 hours as it is 4 hours distance from Istanbul. However it is well worth it. Our guide Gagri (Charlie) was excellent. Good English, good history knowledge and a sense of humour.
