5.00Excellent well-paced excursion with very knowledgeable/personable guide. Troy was much more than ruins and Gallipoli campaign brought tonlife.
Worth the tour.

5.00We had the BEST experience with Aykut. We ended up having a private tour as the only guests for the day. Aykut was a fabulous story teller. We loved visiting the Troy museum the most. We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed our day. It’s worth every penny and I recommend this tour a million times over!!
A must do.

4.00The only negative feedback I have is lunch, as I would have preferred a more traditional Turkish meal. That aside the whole day was a great day out. The morning pick up was punctual, the 2 different vans were comfortable & the 2 guides (Burak for Troy & Gagn for Gallipoli) very personable & informative. I learned a lot about Troy from Burak & the passion from Gagn on Gallipoli was felt by all. Please keep up the good work.
A very worthwhile day out.

5.00All aspects of this tour were excellent. The organisation from Hassle Free went above and beyond what we expected. We even received a WhatsApp message the day before the tour. The real standout was the guide, Hasan. He was extremely professional and knowledgeable. He was very passionate about the subject matter and presented it in an interesting manner. He also understood his audience and made sure he was presenting suitable information from his huge knowledge base. He gave a very balanced account of both the ANZAC and Turkish side of the Gallipoli conflict. We highly recommend Hasan as a guide.

5.00Incredibly helpful people all around. Booked two trips as a Canakkale walk-in. First day was a simple treat. Beautiful ferry ride across the Hellespont for a lunch by the water. Then a mini bus which effortlessly moved between important battle sites. Our guide was impressive. He knew, and loved, history. He knew every event and every name of all the protagonists involved in the battles. Day two was an equally rewarding half day trip to Troy. Same guide. He was even more knowledgeable about the history of this ancient city. His grasp of historic detail and his excellent English allowed for more than a ‘canned’ tour. He was very happy to expand on Troy’s influence an all aspects of history through the ages. Excellent!
Phenomenal

5.00Great tour. Well worth the money. Our guide Ercan was amazing, with 16 years experience he had so much to offer on this tour and so much knowledge on both Troy and Gallipoli. We were hooked on every word. The tour started with Troy and the guide clearly had inside knowledge on the workings of current archaeology, you don't get this on normal big tours. After this we were given an amazing lunch with an ocean view after a ferry ride. Then we were taken the beaches of Gallipoli after an introduction at the museum. The guide clearly put a lot of thought into the order of the day. 100% recommended. Best guide we ever had and we have been on many tours. Many thanks, Conor and Emma
