Great tour! - Start to finish, Crowded House Tours did a wonderful job of handling all of the logistics. Our guide, Çağrı, made the experience a memorable one with his storytelling and attention to detail. Pergamon and the visit to the Desen carpet weavers collective were my favorite parts of the tour. The vehicles were clean and well maintained and the drivers were diligent. Even though our tour was listed as ending in Kuşadası, the tour company was kind enough to drop us off at our hotel in İzmir. We don't usually do organized tours, but we had no regrets booking this one!

Once in a lifetime trip! - We absolutely cannot recommend this business highly enough. Previous to our trip we were in contact with Ramazan every step of the way. I would send and email in the afternoon/night and by the morning I had a response, every single time! We were given tour options, they booked our flights, transfers and accommodation. Our guides were next level, Fundat (ANZAC Dawn service), Ibrahim ANZAC tour and Charlie who took us to Troy and Pergamon Acropolis. Their knowledge of the history of the locations was fantastic. The price we were quoted in Australia for one person was the same as our family of 3 and it included so much more. Please, please if you have a real interest in attending the Dawn Service, a family connection or just want to see this area of the world you simply cannot go past Crowded House Tours!

Must see, amazing passionate guide who loves his topic! - Great tour. Our guide Hassan was fantastic , very passionate about his subject and make the place come alive. He was also really helpful to my husband who had a really bad back after a skiing fall the week before and was finding it hard to walk. Hassan was so good helping him around so he did t miss out. We had a fabulous 2 days with Hassan.

Crowded House Tours are exceptional! - Crowded House Tours was exceptional. We did the two day Gallipoli and Troy tour. Everything was so good we booked two more tours with them and a private car to Bodrum. The guides were highly informed the vans were clean and safe, the drivers were incredible and every lunch we had was delicious. We ate vegetarian food and it was never a problem. The organisation for all the different tours pick ups drop offs different language guides was like a well oiled machine. This company made our holiday wonderful. We never had to worry or miss anything. Value for money and highly recommend. Would use them again without hesitation.

Highly recommend - All parts of this tour was terrific. Ibrahim showed us Troy and Pergamon. He had an extensive knowledge, understood our needs and kept us engaged on a very hot day! He is also great to chat with. Charlie took us around Gallipoli. He was able to answer many questions and had a meaningful way of telling stories from both ANZACs and the Turkish.

Awesome Gallipoli, Troy and Pergamon tour - Thank you to all at Crowded House Tours. We did the Gallipoli, Troy and Pergamon tour over 2 days from Istanbul, ending in Selcuk. Communication from start to finish with this company was excellent. Charlie, our guide was informative, fun and helped make the last 2 days ones we will treasure. Thank you Charlie. The size of the groups were small, perfect. All our questions were answered, the tours were run so professionally. We have used this company before when travelling in Turkey and would highly recommend them.
Thanks guys, your the best. If you are coming to this part of Turkey use this company and don't miss Pergamon, it's incredible.

These guys are great! - The touring was great. Fantastic destinations with a very knowledgeable guide and punctual driver. Easy-going crew but you can tell they are a well-oiled operation.
In fact, Ramazan (Crowded House’s manager) ended up helping us with not only Çanakkale tours, but also utilized his contacts to help us out in both Cappadocia and Istanbul. He provided a driver from the Istanbul airport and tracked our flight delays, so the driver was there waiting for us when we landed late. Ramazan was also very patient with all my questions about dates and times and in-country flights. He is awesome and is now a trusted friend. Crowded House executed everything perfectly (and at a very reasonable price).

Stunning scenery, well organised tour! - Our entire tour was fabulous, the pick ups and transfers all worked without a hitch, the hotels were decent (one average one, but mostly great) and the food was organised well too. We met some great people and the sights were beyond wonderful. Ephesus and Pergamum were absolute highlights in terms of photography and ancient ruins, but Troy's tour guide (Mufasa) made that tour really memorable as he lives and breaths Troy. In saying that, our Ephesus tour guide was incredible also, allowed us to take photos without rushing and told some excellent stories. Gallipoli, as an Australian, was very impactful and I'm so glad we got to experience the whole space.
