By Jia N.(Singapore)May 17, 2026 Great Troy tour with One Nation TravelWe booked One Nation Travel for the Troy day trip from Istanbul during our anniversary visit to Turkey. The pickup was right on time, the van was very clean, and our guide explained the ruins without making it feel like a lecture. They even noted our anniversary and had a small sweet treat ready at lunch, which was a nice surprise. Long day, but very well handled.Date of Experience: May 17, 2026
