Best experience ever! - The best gallopoli tour we could have asked for! APO was unbelievably knowledgeable and painted a superb picture of the war. As NZers that land was as important for our history as it was for the Turks. APO presented a perfect mix of war, courage and respect giving perspectives from both sides! We have recommended this tour to all of our friends

Unexpected highlight - This was an unexpected highlight for me . Was not on my bucket list but was for my travelling companion. Our guide, Abdurrahim was passionate about the Gallipoli story. We had the entire site virtually to ourselves the entire trip which added to the experience. This is the sort of tour that is best experienced as a private tour and Abdurrahim is the preferred choice of guide.
