          War graves
          Beautiful cemetery, very well kept and interesting to read the gravestones. Most of these men were young when they died . So sad . Good to see the memorial too .

          A lesson from history
          A 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.

          South 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.

          Private Tour
          Tour 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.

          Great tour of Troy
          Booking 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.

          Absolutely wonderful experience
          We 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!!

          A 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.

          Our 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 😄.

          “The luckiest men were the ones that were killed on the first day”.
          An excellent summary from our guide. A very peaceful resting place for so many young men from both sides.

          Everyone should do this!
          From the beginning to the end everything was planned and executed impeccably well by the travel agency. They were responsive to our inquires, and timely so. The highlight of our experience was our tour guide Hasan. He is supremely knowledgeable about the geography, the history and the war itself, and clearly cares deeply about honoring the lives lost and preserving their stories. He has a great sense of humor, very tactful and thoughtful. Our driver was awesome as well. We recommend with no reservations.

        We were fortunate to be the sole participants,(2 adults, 2 young adults), of this tour when we embarked. From the pick up to return to hotel, we were extremely happy with the service provided by the tour guide drivers and the extensive knowledge from Ercan, our tour guide. Ercans' knowledge of the areas we visited was extensive without being over detailed or boring, very factual. Lunch was included on our first day at the Maydos restaurant where were greeted pleasantly and treated to a delicious 3 course meal. Transfer by ferry to Cannakkalie and overnight at the 4/5 star Kolin motel before our journey to Troia was enjoyable. The Kolin motel had well appointed spacious rooms, dinner and bfast included. For the amount of great history in Gallipoli and Troy, Ercan, our tour guide was able to condense facts suitable to the time limitations. Highly recommend. Ercan and No hassle tours

        We wanted to find the grave of Lt Commander Stuart Brodie, Commander of Royal Navy submarine E15, who was killed trying to get up the Dardanelles Straits during the Gallipoli Campaign in 1915. All this was organised for us by our wonderful guide, Ercan, who showed us the grave in the Canakkale cemetery and also took us on a fascinating tour of the Gallipoli peninsula. He was a really good guide, extremely knowledgeable and interesting and in touch with all sorts of historians and military personnel, who had similar interests. Our last minute request to visit the new museum at Troy was fitted into our schedule without hesitation and, again, this was something very worth visiting.

        Hassle free tours organised our return transport from Istanbul and also private Gallipoli and Troy tours for a party of six. The pre-trip communications and arrangements were perfect and we received regular updates prior to our trip.

        Our tour guide for both was Ercan who guided us around the Gallipoli North and South peninsula battlefields and cemeteries. This was a full day trip departing at 8.30am and arriving back at our hotel around 6.30pm. Day 2 we visited Troy for half a day before departing back to Istanbul.

        We could have not asked for a more knowledgeable person. Ercan was happy to talk to us one to one or as a group. There is so much to cover but Ercan was incredibly helpful and very patient with us. There is simply no way to cover the amount of places we visited without staying much longer. There is a long list of places on Hassle free tours that we visited but they can modify it to suit individual requests.

        We were equally amazed on day 2 with Ercan's coverage of Troy which we added as a bonus as it is so close to Gallipoli. He is really a special tour guide so if you are looking to visit Gallipoli I would urge you to use Hassle free travel but also make a request for Ercan (you will need to be lucky as he will be booked up!!) - thanks again for a memorable and emotional trip

        Very 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.

        We 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!

        We did the Gallipoli trip from Istanbul and stayed over in Çanakkale to see Troy, and make best of the long journey from Istanbul.
        Abdurrahim Boz was our guide in Gallipoli and was brilliant. Very knowledgable, neutral in his presentation of the facts and with great empathy. Highly recommend him.
        Troy was fascinating if brief , our guide Mustaffe extremely knowledgeable and fun. I am not sure I would go all that way just for Troy though.
        Re the journey too and fro. Abdurrahim was NOT our driver, but I would strongly recommend him to ensure his drivers are told not to use mobile phones for texting, calls or translations. I don’t mind fast driving but with a phone in ones hand it becomes very dangerous. Oh and the hard shoulder in my books is for emergencies not undertaking, or getting to the front at traffic lights.
