Private Gallipoli Day Tour from Istanbul - ANZAC & WWI Sites

We had an incredible experience on the Private Gallipoli Day Tour from Istanbul. The entire day was really well organised, and what made it unforgettable was our wonderful guide, Duygu Belkıs Tankut. Duygu's knowledge of Gallipoli and the ANZAC campaign was exceptional, and her passion for the history made every stop meaningful. Thanks to her extensive knowledge, she also took us to additional sites that other tour groups don't usually visit, such as the grave of John (Kirkpattick) Simpson "Simpson and his Donkey", which made the experience even more special. She also took us to a lovely local restaurant for lunch, adding another wonderful touch to the day. We left with a deeper appreciation of Gallipoli and its significance. We highly recommend this tour, and if you're lucky enough to have Duygu as your guide, you're in for a really memorable experience.

From pick up to drop off, everything ran seemlessly. Baha was an excellent tour guide, knowledgeable, friendly, extremely helpful. He went over & above to ensure we had the experience of a lifetime. Even down to buying spices & recommendations for dinner. Thanks for a wonderful day Baha. Highly recommend.

Well organised and structured day tour from Istanbul to all of the major ANZAC sites on the Gallipoli Peninsula. Clean and modern van with pick up and drop off direct from/to hotel. Made sure to have breaks for drinks and food during the long drive there and back. Sureyya, our English speaking tour guide, was excellent. He provided interesting background on Turkish history and points of interest along the way and was very knowledgeable about the Gallipoli Peninsula. Highly recommend for anyone wanting to do a day trip to Gallipoli from Istanbul.

It’s a very long day but well worth it. The driver and guide did a great job. We were given lots of information and the day was very interesting.

Our tour guide Kadir Kurt, was very knowledgeable and polite and tailored the tour to our needs and timing. Our driver Sercan was experienced professional and polite.

From Aussie 4 this tour, amazing, awesome guide Sebnem, she showed us everything, took photos of us & gave us plenty of time, great driver as well

This was an outstanding experience for the whole family. The tour guide, the tour bus, the tailoring to suit our family, which spanned three generations with different needs and capabilities, and the opportunity to tailor the day to connect with our family history at Gallipoli. So incredibly impressed, and left us all with memories and an incredible experience to hold to for our lifetime. Thank you

spent the day with Volkan as our trusted guide and couldn’t speak highly enough of him. He was extremely knowledgeable of events leading up to and during WW1 with all countries involved in the Gallipoli conflict. His insight into the history of Turkish involvement added to the already emotional experience. We would highly recommend volkan and his team to show you an Anzac experience to remember.Friendly team and prompt responses made it easy to book online. Richard/yasmin

So glad we did a private tour and able to go at our own pace. Highly recommend leaving really learning and getting to the area before the tour bus rush! Our guide was excellent, very informative and was able to accommodate our needs. The only thing is he didn’t introduce himself and had no idea what his name was till I read his name tag. Thank you Volkan and guided Istanbul tours. Brilliant day. Highly recommend

It a must do tour. A very moving and interesting day and giving plenty of reason to reflect on the events that occurred.
