- D8862IWcameronm0 contributionsAmazing experience visiting GallipoliWe have just finished our private 2-day tour from Istanbul with Hassle Free Travel to Gallipoli/Çanakkale and we absolutely LOVED every second of it. We were SO INCREDIBLY fortunate to have the services of a wonderful guide (Ercan Yavuz) who was just amazing! When we first booked this tour, we knew roughly what we wanted to do but Hassle Free also made recommendations to us, which we gladly went with. As an Aussie family of 4, it was important to us to visit not only the sites that are so well known back home but also to visit other locations and pay our respects to all of those who fought. Whilst we managed to get in a huge amount over the 2 days, it has left us wanting to come back and do more. The sites associated with the Gallipoli Campaign were just incredible and to get a first-hand glimpse at these locations was unforgettable. Adding on to that was the fact that we were able to visit Troy/Troia on the first afternoon, which we all just loved! Our guide Ercan was such an incredible part of our experience and I HIGHLY RECOMMEND requesting his services. His love and passion for what he does is obvious at every given moment - it is clear he wants visitors to have 'the experience' but he wants to ensure everyone leaves feeling completely satisfied. One of his first questions was whether we had any immediate connection to men who had served and whether we had a desire to find a particular resting place. When I mentioned that my great grandfather had come ashore on 25th April 1915 and which regiment he had served in, he knew and had immediate insight into things to see and places to go. As a History teacher myself, I feel like I have a good background about the locations of Gallipoli and what took place in each but his insights and specialised knowledge truly blew me away. He always wove tales of his experiences as a guide, working with different individuals, families, large groups and foreign dignitaries into what he shared with us at the many sites we visited. He would often share anecdotal stories from the time of the events in 1915, giving us a closer connection to the men serving at the front. Ercan was also incredibly warm and good with our teenage boys; he made sure to offer accounts of situations that could allow them to appreciate the horrors of the conflict for both sides whilst also helping them to more fully appreciate why the events mattered so much for all nations involved. He really did an amazing job and I would GLADLY go on another tour with him if I were even given the opportunity. Just as a little side note - the transportation from Istanbul was great...very easy and convenient in terms of pick up and drop off. Everything was very well organised in regards to food (lunch both days was delicious) ferry transportation across the Dardanelles was easy and enjoyable and our accommodation in Çanakkale was wonderful with a great dinner and breakfast (DoubleTree by Hilton). Thank you to Hassle Free and Ercan - we had such an amazing experience!Written November 2, 2023
- enjeekay0 contributionsA lesson from historyA touching place to learn about the history and the tragedy that happened to the brave soldiers. The marked cemetery has tombstones with touching messages, but none were sure if the bodies were buried there as some were lost at sea and some on land.Written October 16, 2023
- Graham S0 contributionsSouth eastern Turkey . Seeing the parts of Turkey not many Australians see.We had a good experience . We saw the real old history of Turkey. The guides were good / the food was good/ we liked the bazaars and markets as they were not as busy as Jnstanbul and more authentic.Written September 25, 2023
- lyndat6330 contributionsFantastic tripVery informative trip. Hulya's knowledge was incredible. It more than exceeded our expectations. Standing in the terrain, Hulya brought the scene to life. Glad we had sun hats with us and plenty of sun screen. The air conditioning in the bus was much appreciated. Would definitely recommend this tour to others.Written September 21, 2023
- R8115VGmaryc0 contributionsPrivate TourTour guide was incredibly knowledgeable, he tailored the tour to help us trace our relative. The private bus transfer was also comfortable, which we appreciated as we were travelling from 4 hours away for the tour. We would definitely recommend Hassle Free Travel. The staff were very helpful in booking and we really enjoyed it.Written September 17, 2023

I met also the staff and the owner of the agency I absolutely recommend this tour operatorWritten September 16, 2023
- 942belindas0 contributionsGreat tour of TroyBooking our tour of Troy through Hassle free travel as the name suggests was straight forward. Our friendly guide met us as agreed at the port and took us by private vehicle to Troy which was around 30 minutes drive away. The guides knowledge of the site and explanations of it were excellent. We really enjoyed our visit.Written August 29, 2023
- 719karenaf0 contributionsAbsolutely wonderful experienceWe had the BEST experience with Aykut. We ended up having a private tour as the only guests for the day. Aykut was a fabulous story teller. We loved visiting the Troy museum the most. We learned so much and thoroughly enjoyed our day. It’s worth every penny and I recommend this tour a million times over!!Written August 14, 2023
- Hiroko M0 contributionsGreat HistoryGreat place to visit, especially if you're Aussie and Kiwi. Very interesting. Must have a well informed guide.Written July 16, 2023
- Phil-Joel0 contributionsA must do.The only negative feedback I have is lunch, as I would have preferred a more traditional Turkish meal. That aside the whole day was a great day out. The morning pick up was punctual, the 2 different vans were comfortable & the 2 guides (Burak for Troy & Gagn for Gallipoli) very personable & informative. I learned a lot about Troy from Burak & the passion from Gagn on Gallipoli was felt by all. Please keep up the good work.Written July 15, 2023
- MaBCDC0 contributionsOur only and *best* tour in all Turkiye.We had trouble with our hotel and they, not only helped us, but offered us an *amazing* tour around the memorials of Gallipoli. Hülya was really nice and attentive and Arjan was an outstanding guide. Everything was organized, timing was perfect, and we had lots of fun. One month already passed and I have the certainty I will never forget that day 😄.Written July 11, 2023

I loved visiting Gallipoli with remarkably expert guide, Abdurrahim Boz (Aka Apo). The transport and lunch were all up to the mark. He took me to the battlefields of Gallipoli Peninsula including Turkish memorial and the Anzac Cove. It was certainly memorable one-day trip.

Apo was super impressive with his knowledge of Gallipoli's history and present status. His recall and explanation of every event was mind boggling. I loved how he detailed the events to cater to each person on the trip showing each individual the part their country/city played. Great personal touch very professional in his approach to such a sensitive topic. Great job App.

Although a VERY long day in the bus - particularly an under-powered bus - the tour of the Gallipoli battle sites, and the Museum were excellent - and very well delivered by Apo, our guide for the day. I can strongly recommend this tour for anyone - even if not Turkish or an Anzac!
