Hasan our guide was very knowledgeable! He made sure we were able to see and understand all elements of the history of Gallipoli. We enjoyed the efficiency of the tour.

Our tour guide Charlie brought Gallipoli to life for us. He was knowledgeable, intelligent, and very warm. Without him, I would give the tour a lower rating for sure. But Charlie saved the day! We could have listened to him all afternoon and were impressed by how well organized he was in presenting a lot of information at many different stops. However just about everyone else left us confused. We—and this includes others on the trip that commiserated with us—didn’t know where we going or when until we got on the actual tour bus. We stopped for breakfast at a gas station (and you can often find good food at gas stations) and it was pretty disgusting, as was dinner at the Shell station on the way back. The included lunch was cold French fries, cold rice, 2 tiny overcooked meatballs, and a skewer of tasteless chicken. It’s hard to believe this organization can’t find better food for its guests. All of that said, I’d do it again. Seeing and learning about Gallipoli was an unforgettable experience.

An excellent tour ( albeit a long day with pick up at 6:15 am and return about 10pm). Drivers were excellent. The tour itself was awesome , with our guide ( Burak) a great combination of humour and knowledge) and incredibly respectful of the area and the events. Highly recommended. The only downside were the meals. Lunch is provided in the tour price, but was very dry and no-one on our tour ate it all. Breakfast and dinner stops were an extra cost, with the drivers stopping at petrol stations with small cafeterias attached. Food selection extremely limited and the food was a fail. But minor issues relative to the Gallipoli experience.

Great trip. Long day (about 14 hours). Well organised and very informative. Lots of information to take in, but well worth the visit - recommend to others.

From meeting with Crowded House Tour's Haji to the bus dropping us back at our hotel post Gallipoli tour, we were impressed with their personable staff, organization, and quality of the tour experience. Our guide, Burak, was simply an outstanding historian who intrigued us with his knowledge, humor, passion and dedication to doing what he loves. This Crowded House Gallipoli tour was a highlight of our time in Istanbul. Thank you Burak!

Had a great day with young Burrach. Was very well informed Very good with the nationality of each individual - good fun. Local Turk who grew up with the passion for history.

Must do for any Aussie, Kiwi or Pom. Super knowledgeable tour guide, air conditioned bus, good sized group, easy to organize and enjoy. Highly recommended.

We have been travelling for 5 weeks from Australia and the Gallipoli tour with Crowded house was definitely a highlight. Burka was our tour guide, he was very knowledgeable and made the day unforgettable. A must do tour.

Hi my husband and I are from NZ and we stayed at the Gallipoli houses who organised a private tour with crowded house tours, our delightful and very well informed guide Ibrahim was fantastic . His English was great and his knowledge of both sides of the Gallipoli campaign was outstanding, he is a young man who is very passionate about his country. Make sure you ask for him to do your private tour as you won’t be disappointed.

it was a fantastic experience. Our tour guide was Tijen and her knowledge, guidance and patience was absolutely wonderful.

Excellent tour, very very happy with how the logistics where handled leading up to and during the tour. No hassle with hotel pick up or drop off, breakfast lunch and dinner was very nice, kept quick so not to reduce your time seeing Troy. The tour of the ancient city was amazing, our guide had a wonderful knowledge of the historical importance of the 9 cities of Troy, he had a wonderful sense of humour, even sorted out 3 non English speaking ladies on the tour with an audio guide to help them. He pointed out the tomb of Achilles which you would have missed so easily if you did t know it was out there. One improvement, would like to have had more time to see Troy, 2 hrs was fine but to wander a bit more around the area would have been nice. But as I said an amazing day trip from Istanbul.

Great value for money, the tour was also very well organised. Burak was an amazing tour guide, he was extremely knowledgable whilst also being engaging and entertaining to listen to. As a New Zealander it has made me appreciate and understand Anzac Day a lot more, the trip to Gallipoli will be an experience that will really stick with me. This was aided by the amazing experience we had through Crowded House tours. Thank you for the day!

Wonderful day trip to Gallipoli. Bhurat, the guide at Gallipoli, was outstanding both in knowledge and in people skills. He tailored his comments to the interests of the group. His understanding of the history and significance of Gallipoli was outstanding. He is a real asset to the company. The only suggestion we have is that it would be wonderful to have something like a prerecorded message or a brochure on the bus ride from Istanbul to Eceabat, so that travellers understand the outline for the day. All in all, we highly recommend this trip.

A fabulous experience with a very knowledgeable and passionate guide in Charlie and attentive bus driver. The lunch they served was great also. As this was a day trip from Istanbul it made for a very long day!

We loved our Gallipoli and Troy tour with Crowded House. It was a very emotional day seeing Gallipoli but our guide was excellent and very knowledgeable. He was also very passionate and personable. Our Troy tour was fantastic with another very knowledgeable guide. Crowded House were amazing at organising everything and even bringing the bag we forgot (twice) back to our hotel. Highly recommended for those wanting to pay their respects to those who lost their lives in Turkey and for history buffs.
