Aussie in Anzac - Our tour guide, ( I’m so sorry but I can’t remember his name), was just amazing. So friendly, funny and incredibly knowledgeable on the Anzac Gallipoli campaign. I swear that bloke is half Aussie. Such a great day. Highly recommend this tour! Thanks so much

Fantastic - best experience - What a beautiful pocket of the world, I absolutely loved this area. The tour was amazing, Sam on our first day, despite being quite new in the company - did a fantastic job looking after us and as there were only 3 of us worked in some flexibility to add some special moments to the afternoon. Our tour to Troy with Cindy was fantastic, she is so knowledgeable and was a fantastic guide - I learned so much more about the Ancient City which has only encouraged me to read more about it. We had Ibrahim in the afternoon for Gallipoli, who was also fantastic - providing a really comprehensive history and story to all the sites we visited. All in all, the experience was absolutely perfect and we thank you and your team for an incredible end to our holiday across Europe and in Turkey. I hope to visit again one day!

Excellent Gallipoli tour - Really excellent. I had two guides Hassan on the first day and then Erjan on the second, both were excellent and were very insightful re Gallipoli. I was keen to see Suvla bay and the tour company arranged a private taxi tour. Every part of the experience has been really good. No area that o would fault.

Perfect tour to Gallipoli and Troy - We booked the two-day excursion to Gallipoli and Troy from Istanbul in Belgium (TUI). This excursion was perfectly organized: - comfortable vans with smooth drivers - excellent guides (Hassan, Burak) who knew a lot about Gallipoli and Troy and could also convey this compellingly, - flexible organization, which allowed us to arrange an adjustment in our transport even late at night - excellent value for money In short, an absolute must for anyone interested in history Bart and Katty Desimpel -Kerkhofs Belgium

The trip to Gallipoli that went off without a hitch! - Unlike Churchill, these guys plan your mission and execute it to perfection. We were picked up in Istanbul and driven to Eceabat by our great driver Suleiman - No. 1 driver in Gallipoli. He took us all through Anzac Cove with our fabulous guide Okan. Okan was incredibly knowledgable, respectful and told us about the Gallipoli Campaign from both sides. We thought we knew a lot about Gallipoli, but after spending the day with Okan, we easily doubled our knowledge. Funda steers the ship and knows where everyone should be and where they are going. This is one slick tour group - we highly recommend them.

Excellent tour, highly recommended - An excellent tour. Our guides were very knowledgable, the tour was a good pace, and being a small tour it was easy to see and hear everything. Gallipoli is a must do for Kiwis, and I'm so pleased we went with Crowded House. Highly recommended.

Two days, three guides - a wonderful experience - An amazing two-day excursion jammed pack with history and vivid descriptions delivered by three wonderful guides who were not only extremely knowledgeable about their specific areas of expertise, but delivered their commentaries with humour and imagination. I cannot recommend this tour highly enough for those seeking an introduction to Gallipoli and the ancient city of Troy. All credit to Crowded House Tours for unbelievable time management - our two day adventure was timed to perfection no standing around waiting, yet plenty of time to enjoy and experience.

Great history tour of Gallipoli with knowledgeable guides and well organised company - Really good guide who spoke good English and engaged with all the guests, particularly the Aussies and Kiwis. The emphasis was on the military history and why the different sides did what they did. It felt like I visited all the important places on the Gallipoli Peninsula and certainly all the places I had heard of over many years.
