Gallipoli experience

5.00Our guide Elcan was amazing. So much knowledge about the operations, people and battle defining moments of the Australian, New Zealand and Turkish armies. The ferry ride was first up followed by a very enjoyable lunch which was needed as the tour then kicks off. At times hard to fathom the number of soldiers killed on both sides for no real reason. All up a great experience
A great tour....highly recommend

4.00Beautiful cemetery, very well kept and interesting to read the gravestones. Most of these men were young when they died . So sad . Good to see the memorial too .
A lesson from history

5.00A touching place to learn about the history and the tragedy that happened to the brave soldiers. The marked cemetery has tombstones with touching messages, but none were sure if the bodies were buried there as some were lost at sea and some on land.
Bucket list item ticked

5.00I was confident I had a quite good understanding of the story of the Anzac’s but the knowledge and level of detail that Ercan has is incredible With a fair bit to see he coveted everything so to anyone considering this tour I’d recommend thinking about the 2 day tour to truly soak it all in Oh and lunch was excellent at Maydos
Great History

5.00We had trouble with our hotel and they, not only helped us, but offered us an *amazing* tour around the memorials of Gallipoli. Hülya was really nice and attentive and Arjan was an outstanding guide. Everything was organized, timing was perfect, and we had lots of fun. One month already passed and I have the certainty I will never forget that day 😄.

5.00An excellent summary from our guide. A very peaceful resting place for so many young men from both sides.

5.00From the beginning to the end everything was planned and executed impeccably well by the travel agency. They were responsive to our inquires, and timely so. The highlight of our experience was our tour guide Hasan. He is supremely knowledgeable about the geography, the history and the war itself, and clearly cares deeply about honoring the lives lost and preserving their stories. He has a great sense of humor, very tactful and thoughtful. Our driver was awesome as well. We recommend with no reservations.
