By Ruby C.(Toowoomba, Australia)July 18, 2026 Gallipoli memorials made the long day worthwhileThe early pickup sounded rough, but it kept the day running on time. Burak was organised and gave us enough context at each stop without holding things up. ANZAC Cove, Lone Pine and Chunuk Bair were the parts that stayed with me most. It is a long day from Istanbul, and I was tired on the ride back, but the schedule felt sensible and we never had to rush through the memorials. I'd recommend it for a practical Gallipoli visit.Date of Experience: July 18, 2026 -
Verified PurchaseBy Brock P.(Kingston, Canada)July 8, 2026 Gallipoli in one day from IstanbulPickup in Istanbul was early, but Mert was right on time and the drive felt easy enough. I went with friends on the Gallipoli day trip and it was a long 18-hour day, so be ready for that. Burak kept the history clear without making it feel like a lecture, and we had a few really good photo stops. Some waiting and traffic on the way back, but nothing crazy. Tired by the end, very glad we went.Date of Experience: July 06, 2026
