Worth the time and effort to get there! - It's a long van ride there and back, but worth it! Our for guide Cindy blended history and a little humor for an unforgettable tour experience.

A must in Turkey - It is an essential walk for those who like history and archaeology. The journey from Istanbul is long, but worth it.

This tour was fantastic! - This trip was so well organised! We were well taken care of from start to finish. We had plenty of time for photos and food (everything was delicious!), and we were picked up and dropped off right around the corner from our hotel. I would absolutely recommend this tour!

Amazing/ extremely recommended - amazing. lots of information, mythology and archaeology. our guide Ibrahim IBO was extremely detailed and very funny. we learned a lot but also laughed a lot. the place to visit is friendly, with wooden bridges, trees and benches from time to time. it was much more welcoming than we expected and we traveled with my 87 year old grandmother. too short a time and we didn't have time to visit the Troya museum. I recommend 2 days but even 1 day is very good. Canakkale no is very cheap comparing to Istanbul. it's worth staying longer.

Dardanelles: from 1 straight to the other . - It seemed a bit hectic all the changes of vehicles , but it was actually very well planned, and they were very responsible, carefully checking who went where. Personally I liked a lot crossing the Dardanelles. Lunch was good; better yet with close feline companionship ( this is Türkiye!). At Troy/ Truva/Troia ( you choose ) the guide was very thorough. A little tiresome to stand in the sun, listening, but young people probably didn't care. Beautiful views of Marmara sea & Dardanelles.

Interesting - The Troy element of the tour was very interesting and informative, the guide had a great deal of information. The lunch (at 11am) wasn't fantastic, but was passable. The dinner stop was good, my husband reports that it was a surprise that the best burger he has now ever had came from a service station. The coach transfer from Istanbul was interesting, it wasn't the drivers fault that something came off the road and smashed the ceiling window, however glass did fall down onto people as we didn't pull over for sometime and the fix was to find cardboard at a service station some way up the road. I would recommend this trip for the Troy element.

Great tour but be prepared for a long drive - The tour of Troy was informative and enjoyable. The guide was very knowledgable and did a great job explaining the history and the archeologists who uncovered the ruins. The meal was good and the rest stops were at gas stations with hot food service and clean bathrooms. The reason I would not recommend this tour is the length of the drive. The tour operator offers overnight tours with additional stops which would make the drive More Tolerable and might be a better option.
