By Sophie L.(New Zealand)June 11, 2025 Incredible history and smooth travel from start to finish!This 2-day tour from Izmir to Istanbul was the perfect way to see some of Turkey’s most iconic historical sites without the stress of planning everything myself.Pergamon was impressive, but Gallipoli really touched me — being from New Zealand, it was deeply meaningful to walk the grounds where so many ANZAC soldiers fought. Our guide was knowledgeable, respectful, and gave great context throughout the tour.Troy was also a highlight — I never thought I’d see it with my own eyes. The transportation, hotels, and meals were all very well organized. Ending the tour in Istanbul made the whole trip feel seamless.Highly recommended if you want to experience history, emotion, and great logistics all in one trip!Date of Experience: June 09, 2025
