This trip was epic! Our guide Cindy was amazing and very knowledgeable. This was a bucket list trip we’ve wanted to do for years and it was perfect! Especially loved that it was a small group ❤️
Thank you for your kind review 😊
A wonderful Tour from Istanbul to Gallipoli and Troy staying overnight in Cannakkale. Professionally run, good food and great accomodation. Whilst I enjoyed the whole tour, the absolute highlight for me was Gallipoli with Burak, his knowledge, sensitivity and group management skills were fantastic. The passion and flare he added to the tour really enriched the experience and lent depth to such a sombre, sensitive snd emotional place and period in history. As an Aussie with family assoociations to Gallipoli it was an important pilgrimage for me and I am grateful for having this opportunity.

We had an excellent experience with Crowded House tours doing a tailored version of the Gallipoli and Troy tour, adding in a local winery. They even made changes along the way to ensure we got back to Istanbul in time for an unexpected appointment. The tour was absolute quality, from pick up, ferry crossing, touring and the wealth of information provided by Hassan. He really enhanced our understanding of the battles fought along the Dardenelles and the Gallipoli campaign. His in depth information about Troy also meant that we got a lot more out of visiting the ancient site and understood all the layers of civilisation represented by the ruins. Would 100% recommend.

Burak the guide was hilarious and very knowledgeable and passionate about the ANZAC history. Highly recommend! He also went out of his way to revisit a site after a friend of mine said they had relatives in one of the cemetery’s we had visit he allowed me to go back to get photos for them back in Australia!

I traveled with my family, but I was under a different booking as I was a solo traveler. Well organize, friendly guides.. The one night accommodation was a nice hotel in the central of town. They gave us a lot of time at the Troy Museum, more than we needed. Nice, comfortable, clean mini bus.
Thank you for your kind review 😊
Good communication, well organized. People spoke good english and we could understand them easily. Nice comfortable bus. Offered to help us find a grave if we knew anyone buried there. We stayed in a nice Canakkale hotel in the centre of town which gave us breakfast.

We did a 2 day tour from Istanbul and having been on many tours over the years, Crowded House Tours have to be the most well oiled experience I have had. Everything is on time, excellent quality guides, Cindy and Ibrahim, a fleet of new vehicles, great communications throughout and just did a good job! It’s a 4 hour trip down from Istanbul with a stop at a services with the cleanest toilets I have seen and time for some refreshments. You arrive in Gallipoli for lunch and then off you go. The hotel overnight was average but convenient although the air con in our room sounded like a diesel tractor but that wasn’t the tour operators fault. Our friends air con was ok so we were unlucky. Great trip and very interesting.
