Great to learn the Troy is here - It was great experience in Çanakkale, where the ancient legendary city Troy ! The guide is knowledgeable, the driver took a long journey to service us to and from Istanbul

Long but great visit to Troy - The tour of Troy was amazing! We got to see all the ruins and since we were the only group there we had a private tour. It is a VERY long day trip so make sure you're rested beforehand. Between the van, ferry, and bus it took us about 7 hours to arrive in Troy. The way back was a bit faster but it's still still a long trip. It was very worth it though! Our guide was very knowledgeable and made it a great experience! The one piece of feedback we would give would be to provide more information to the travelers when we get picked up. More information would have been more helpful. Overall, we highly recommend it!

Long drive and hot and exhausted. - The one way trip takes 4 hours. The Trojan horse is under repair. We were taken to a replica of the Trojan horse for just 5 minutes of photo taking. I was disappointed. It wasn’t mentioned in their itinerary that the real one is under repair. The lunch included is nothing to rave about. No drinks included.

good - The tour guide Burak was friendly, respectful, kind, knowledgeable and his delivery was full of humour. However the meal was disappointing, the early start and length of tour day offered little time for for a meal before and ofter the tour. lunch could have been more substantial and palatable. The transport, drivers and organizers were BRILLIANT!

Troia!! - It was an amazing experience for us this tour! It was all very well organised by the team!! The tour guide (Burak) is the highlight of the whole trip! Great job by him explaining us the significance of the place! Just keep in mind that this is a trip which has a travel time of more than 9 hours to and fro, so book the trip accordingly! Cheers!!

Good tour, bad drive back - Good actual tour, lots of good history provided (my husband studied Ancient History so we feel able to judge critically and the guide was good), nice to take the ferry across the by the Dardanelles. However, the driver on the way back left a lot to be desired. The place he stopped for food served genuinely some of the worst food I’ve ever eaten and in Turkey that takes special effort because almost all food is delicious. He also decided to drop our family, the only group with a kid, off dead last at 9:40 at night, after dropping couples and individual adult travelers off earlier— including when our hotel was literally about a 2 minute drive from other stops he made earlier and after which he then drove back across the water over by the Tower, and then back to Sultanahmet dropping us off dead last— strapped with a more-tired-than-needed kid because he’d been riding around in the van for an extra 30-40 minutes beyond what was needed. Tour operator should tell drivers to prioritize dropping off families first, and find a better stopping point on the way back. Food was just horrifically bad.

Too far to go for a short tour - Everything was pretty much as advertised. However, having done the tour it just didn’t seem worth spending the whole day cooped up in a van for what was essentially a one hour tour around the small site at Troy. The food, stops along the way etc were nothing special. Confirming we left the hotel at around 6:30am and were back at 9:30pm. The drivers, guides and quality of the transportation were all good. I think you just have to really want to go to Troy.

Great tour; not great return trip - Tour of Troy itself is great; nice to take the ferry. Only real way to do this in one day from Istanbul, I think. However, the driver on the way back made some strange choices like driving on an unpaved farm road rather than the clearly immediately visible highway to Istanbul. May have slowed us down, and we were running behind schedule then anyway. Rest stop on the way back was BAD— terrible food, some of the worst I’ve eaten anywhere in the world. I’m sure better options were available (Turkey has great food!). Also super unhelpful that the driver left us, the family with the young overtired child LAST to drop off, crisscrossing Sultanahmet several times before he dropped us off at 9:30PM. It would have been nice if an effort had been made to drop the tired kid and his tired parents off the roughly 30- minutes before when the first guests were dropped off just down the street (if we’d realized, we would have gotten out there and walked instead of crossing the bridge to over by the tower and then back to Sultanahmet for three more stops before we were the last ones to be dropped off), but we did not until it was too late. If you do this with a kid in tow, insist on being dropped off first…

Thank you for the hotel... - Thank you for the hotel pick up and drop off. A long day due to many pick ups and drop offs. Tour was great and enjoyed the food, sites and fellow passengers.

Troy good perhaps find different provider - We took this tour on our second day in Istanbul. We booked and added address for pick up. I messaged a couple times and address was confirmed just waiting confirmation of pick up time - morning of arrive and still had no received so we waited downstairs at 6:30am we then had to call and were told to go to another hotel for pickup. I said we didn’t feel comfortable as it was still dark walking and we had paid for pickup which was told okay. We then received a message 10 minutes later from the driver asking where we are. We reluctantly walked to a different hotel where the driver was very rude and continued to be so throughout the trip. We had our nationality mentioned numerous times throughout the trip & being the only ones from our country we knew to whom he was referring we already had comments made at us if we were last on bus etc “just like this morning “ The bus was full so we’re at different seats throughout the drive and on the way back we’re dropped at a completely different hotel after 10pm at night. The tour it’s self was interesting we recommended to do it perhaps just with a different tour company.
