The focus on Gallipoli is done respectfully and thoroughly. The transition to Troy and Pergamum felt natural. Kapadokya was the perfect, visually stunning ending. Tip: Pack light! You’re moving hotels constantly, so minimal luggage is a lifesaver.

“Best Organised Trip Ever.” Zero hiccups. Every transfer, every meal, every ticket was sorted. Pınar was funny and knowledgeable. The view from Uchisar Castle in Kapadokya was insane. I can’t believe how much history we crammed in. Book it!

Seeing Chunuk Bair was a profound moment. The guide was respectful and factual. Then, BAM! You’re in Kapadokya looking at mushroom rocks. The contrast is awesome. Pınar was a legend, and the underground city was creepy fun!

As a Kiwi, seeing Gallipoli was essential, and it was handled with such respect and knowledge. The rest of the tour is a brilliant history lesson—Troy, Ephesus, unbelievable! Burhan’s team managed the overnight transfers perfectly. Tip: Wear really comfy shoes for Ephesus, the marble is slippery when wet!

It’s a busy eight days, so be prepared to move! The sites are worth it. My only issue was the bus seats on the longer transfers were a bit worn out (Economical category). But seriously, seeing the Library of Celsus made up for any stiff back. Great job, tour team.
