I was really impressed with how well organized and how fast this company put together an itinerary. I contacted them last minute and they were still able to accommodate me. Not only the guide spoke english but the driver did so I never felt lost. Unfortunately certain tours have the mandatory 'carpet tour'. I did feel a bit rushed and did not get enough time at the site that I wanted to. Despite these, I definitely would consider some of the other packages that they offer since they are so well organized.

The trip of a life time to see this place and the tour did not disappoint. Burak was a fabulous guide. Engaging, humorous and affable. highly recommend you allow another day for self exploration but if you only have one day this will give you alot!

Brilliantly organised customised private tour set up on request by Crowded House, and excellently delivered by Singe, Ibrahim & Mr Sinan. Travel from Istanbul was seamless, the guided visit around Troy was essential for understanding a fascinating and complex site, and around Pergammon helped bring these beautiful ruins to life.

I went on the Gallipoli and had Burak as my guide. He was enthusiastic, extremely knowledgable, and even added a little comedy to the experience. The weather and the locations they picked were perfect and gave a complete history of the Gallipoli campaign. There was still evidence of the brushfire but most of the area is well preserved. I even got to go into a World War 1 trench.

Bura Khan made it supremely memorable. He’s knowledgable & no nonsense. His effortless friendliness, warmth & depth made the City of Troy visit a trip to cherish for a lifetime. Highly recommended.

We booked this trip from Australia for myself and my 2 adult children. We were so impressed - door to door pick up and return from our accommodation, both guides were exceptional in their knowledge. The only criticism I can find is that one spoke quite quickly, and at times we had trouble keeping up with his information because he knew so much! I was assisted to find a family member, and I appreciated that😊 The accommodation was clean and satisfactory, and Sam escorted us both ways on the ferry to ensure we didn’t get lost! I’d recommend this to anyone wanting a tour of Gallipoli and Troy!

Brilliant experience all tours were well organised the guides were extremely friendly and professional and on time. We enjoyed every tour with crowded house thoroughly recommend this tour company as we are most impressed

Really good guide who spoke good English and engaged with all the guests, particularly the Aussies and Kiwis. The emphasis was on the military history and why the different sides did what they did. It felt like I visited all the important places on the Gallipoli Peninsula and certainly all the places I had heard of over many years.

I recently took a day trip to Gallipoli from Çanakkale, and it was an experience I'll never forget. Our guide, Charlie, was simply outstanding. As one of the most astute and knowledgeable historians I've encountered, he brought the history of Çanakkale and the Gallipoli Campaign to life in a way that was both engaging and insightful. Charlie’s wit, humor, and kindness added a special touch to the tour, making the complex history of the area accessible and interesting. I’ve traveled to over 30 countries, and this tour ranks at the very top. I knew very little about the Gallipoli Campaign before this trip, but I walked away with a deep understanding and appreciation, all thanks to Charlie. This was the best tour I have ever taken, and I am truly grateful to Charlie for making it so memorable. Highly recommended!

Our family did four tours (Gallipoli, Troy, Pergamon and Pamukkale) with Crowded House. We started in Istanbul and finished in Selçuk. Transfers and visit were all planned very efficiently by Ramazan with whom I always exchanged in English and mostly by email. Drivers were kind and always on time. Most of all, the guides knew their topics very well and gave life to all the historical places we visited. Huge thanks to Bulant for all his explanations on Gallipoli, to Burak for his fantastic tour of Troy, to Ahmet for guiding us in Pergamon and to Meat for his visit of Herapolis/Pamukkale. A huge thank-you too to Ramazan for his professionalism. We highly recommend Crowded House.

Crowded House Tours did a very good job organising this for me. Pick-up was just on time, and the driver was very welcoming and entertaining. He also got us everywhere safely. The Gallipoli Tour was first, and it was amazing. The tour guide (I'm sorry, I do not remember names) was a local from Çanakkale and knew quite a lot about the Gallipoli campaign (more than what us Aussies are taught 😅). He was also very entertaining and was able to lighten the mood when needed. He also knew quite a lot of aussie slang, which got a lot of laughs. He was also very happy to answer any extra questions anyone had and offered to help find any relatives that may have passed in the campaign. After the Gallipoli Tour, I was taken by another guide on a ferry across the Dardanelles towards Çanakkale. I was then shown to my accomodation which was very nice, although due to the location it was quite loud at night (it sits right above the bars) so if you're a light sleeper maybe let them know. The next day, I was driven to the Troy museum, and again, the driver was very friendly and helpful. I was given plenty of time to visit the museum before I needed to be picked up by the rest of the group to go to the archaeological site. Again, the tour guide was knowledgeable and helpful and entertaining, too. After the tour, we were taken back to Çanakkale to take the ferry back across the Dardanelles and were allocated into buses to head back to Istanbul. Overall , I had a great experience and would definitely book with Crowded House Tours again. The only thing I might add as a bit of info for anyone doing these tours on a tight schedule, the drive back to Istanbul was delayed by about 1-1.5 hours due to heavy peak hour traffic.

Tour guide (Mr sukru) was intelligent,we'll spoken,we'll learned and patient guide. He answered all questions with impressive depth and made certain I had an unforgettable day visiting the Ruins of Troy.10/10.

We went on a few Crowded House tours during our trip to Türkiye and I couldn’t recommend them more! We had Burak as our guide for the Gallipoli tour, who was super fun and engaging, but also extremely knowledgeable about the topic. Even though it was a difficult topic, Burak still made the tour very memorable and light-hearted which was great. He was also very passionate about helping those in the tour who had family in Gallipoli, which the group all really appreciated. For our tour of Troy and Pergamon, we had Çağri, who was very welcoming and knew so much about the history of the area. We really enjoyed our day tour with Çağri, as he was easy to talk to and made sure the tour went well. The last tour we had was for Ephesus with Mert, who again was extremely knowledgeable and friendly. He went out of his way to make sure everyone was happy with the tour. What we really loved was the enthusiasm of all three guides. Even though they’ve done the same tours for years, they still seemed very engaged and interested in sharing the history and beauty of the country with us. It was very appreciated, and we got a lot of out of our tour with these guides. I’d definitely recommend giving these tours a go! Very well planned and the guides are all fantastic.

Our guide for both days had 15 years experience as a Gallipoli & Troy guide. Being Turkish, he was able to give us a Turkish perspective on the Gallipoli campaign which we had not heard before. Gives you an even greater understanding of the sacrifice made by both sides.

Had a great tour of Gallipoli by a guide who spoke good English. Guide had incredible knowledge of the War and Battles and told it all very well from a neutral perspective. Good day trip to see the ANZAC and Turkey sites. Seamless pick up/ferry. Lunch is severed very early in day and wasn’t very good. Tour company provide good tours! We used Crowded House Tours multiple times through our trip in Turkey with no problems.
