Learning and appreciation for this who have it all. - We are a young couple and we did not know anything about this war other than World War One. Today I leave with much respect for those who have the ultimate sacrifice and those forgotten. Wars do not happen just because it changes many lives and shapes the work for tomorrow.

Private tour - What an amazing day my partner and I had on our private tour, Cenk pick picked us up from our hotel in Istanbul first thing in the morning for the drive to Canakkale. Before arriving we stopped at a wonderful restaurant just of the highway for breakfast, where we were introduced to gozleme and turkish tea🤤, you have to try them. When we arrived at Canakkale we met our tour guide Ibrahim. He had fantastic English and could understand us quite well, with only learning it in the last 3 years. The knowledge he had on Troy when we were walking around he made it so fascinating and being shown the difference between the Troys . After Troy we stopped to have lunch at a Turkish restaurant where we had the best kebab we have ever had and the pilaf rice didn't disapoint the taste buds. Once we got to Gallipoli we stopped at several key land marks and had the chance to be told what happened and some of the stories. This meant a lot to me as my family have a strong military background. The most memorable moments were seeing the terrain and hearing about the battles the Anzacs and Ottoman fought over. Then to finish it with an amazing sunset with just my partner and I.
Thank you guys you definitely made it memorable.

A great tour for Australians, Kiwis and WWI history buffs. - The tour included transfer to and from Istanbul on a comfortable late model mini-bus. We were picked up 5 mins walk from our hotel in the morning and driven south to the Gallipoli site. After an excellent lunch we started the tour. Our guide was knowledgeable, passionate and had a good sense of humour.
The tour was enlightening, the failed attack on Gallipoli is commemorated in Australia every year, so the site is important to our country. Seeing the key sites, the topography and the scenery made it very real for my family and I.
Moreover, we have a much greater understanding of the importance of the campaign for the people of Turkey, and the bond that it creates between the countries that fought on both sides. The independent identities of the Turkish and Australian nations are rooted here.
The tour was smoothly run, all staff were courteous and helpful, thoroughly recommended.

Superb. Couldn't ask for a better experience. - Superb. Both tours were excellent, and the drivers and guides who shuttled me around the Dardanelles were courteous and cheerful. The min-vans are brand new, with USB chargers on every seat, and lunch in Eceabat was great. Troy (9:00-10:30am) is a challenging visit, as it has so many layers of history and requires a lot of imagination (it's definitely more of an archeological dig than most ancient sites), but the guide was very good at pointing us at the interesting bits. The Gallipoli leg (1:00-4:30pm) was easily one of the best tours I've ever had, with a passionate guide providing careful sequencing of information to ensure we could place each site in context, helpfully showing us where the best photo spots were, and doing a fantastic job of straddling both the Turkish and Anzac history. Staying in Canakkale made for a comfortable day (8:30am-5:30pm), compared to those who made the early start from Istanbul and were starting to fade by the time we hit Lone Pine and Chunuk Bair.

Best travel experience - We went on the morning private Gallipoli tour with Cagri (Charlie) and afternoon group tour of Troy with Ibrahim (Ibo). Both guides were wonderful, very knowledgeable and extremely helpful. Charlie even had old photos of various locations at Gallipoli to compare during the tour. Both men take a lot of pride in their work and go to lengths to make it enjoyable (Charlie is further a tourism inspector showing his dedication).
The company itself is also fabulous. We booked the tours before travelling to Turkey, through whatsapp with Bhutan. He was so wonderful, he even helped to book a tour to Pammukale after we left Canakkale, and helped arranged transfers to our hotel in Kusadasi. They were all so lovely to deal with, we cannot recommend them enough
