Traveler reviews
Outstanding Tour!
We couldn’t be more pleased with the service that we received from start to finish! The booking process was clear and easy to complete. But the best part was the day trip itself. Of course, the Gallipoli memorials were very touching and it is a beautiful peninsula. But our tour guide, Muhsin, was excellent! He was very kind and attentive. He did a great job anticipating our needs and questions. He is an absolute encyclopedia of knowledge on every topic/question that we had! Wow! We were so very impressed with him! I give him the highest recommendation possible! Additionally, our driver, Ismail, was outstanding! The sprinter van was spotless inside and out! Most importantly, we felt very safe with the way he drove…and he was knowledgeable about shortcuts to avoid traffic congestion! Thank you both SO much!
The best way to visit Gallipoli and the ANZAC sites.
Our private tour was fantastic. The guide Muhsin was excellent from before the start. He messaged me the day before to introduce himself and again 10 minutes before he arrived at our apartments to collect us. The vehicle sent was a 15 seater So we had plenty of space to stretch out on the 3.5 hr trip there. His knowledge was fabulous and could answer any questions we had. Both he and the driver were so professional. It is a long 12 hour day but so worth it. It far exceeded our expectations.
Emotional, humbling and unforgettable
What an AMAZING experience. We are brought up in Australia with the history of the ANZACS. To be present and stand in the origin of its beginnings is simply humbling, bewildering and emotionally taxing. Our guide (Kadir Kurt) brought the harrowing six months of Gallipoli as we know it to life with his knowledge and passion. The eleven hour round trip from Istanbul with our private driver and guide sounds daunting but was a dream. Time flew by and ‘Smile’ (our driver) handled the roads like a smiling assassin and kept us on schedule. Lest we forget
Anzac Cove experience
Muhsin our guide was very knowledgeable and attentive to our requests. The driver was a very professional and a safe driver. Try to leave as early as possible to beat the traffic. Tour last 12 hours so be prepared . For Australians a must do tour.
Gallipoli Experience
It was an excellent tour. The pick up was right on time from our hotel. Our driver was very good. Our guide Mehmet was truly excellent. Knowledgeable, friendly and engaging. I had doubts about the possibility of doing a one day tour from Istanbul to Gallipoli. My doubts were misplaced. I rate our experience highly. It is of course a long day but that is to be expected
