Unforgettable trip! - Amazing trip. If you are a history buff or very curious about Troy, take this trip. Everything about this trip was amazing. They pick you up, take you to the site, have a great guide explain the history of Troy, treat you to a nice lunch and take you back to where you started. A nice vehicle and incredibly nice staff. Yes! Do it!

Troy: Is it true? Is it a myth? Find out from this tour! - Hasan, our guide, is funny and informative. He told us the history in details. The highlight if the tour is the Trojan horse of course. Lunch was good too!

The recommended visit is you are in Istanbul - It was a lovely trip; the driver was careful and on time. He picked us up from our hotel in Istanbul and drove us to Çanakkale (about 3 hrs). We stopped to get breakfast. The guide is very knowledgeable, and he told us Troy's history and answered all our questions

Just ok - The organization of the tour was good, tour company and tour guide including driver were good but troy is abit disappointing as after travelling almost 5 hours, i only get to see mostly little evidence of its presence and largely has to leave to own imagination. The short break at the village where the old ladies selling their hand made handicrafts as well as breakfast dinner stop where they sell delicious mutton soup were good though
