Depart early morning for afternoon tour of Troy. We take a ferry across the Dardanelles and drive to Troy which is famous with the legendary Trojan Horse from the times of Beautiful Helen, the Queen of Sparta, and Paris, the Trojan Prince. After the tour, we return back to ferry port to take a ferry across the Dardanelles. Return to Istanbul after the tour.

All arrangement were good! Hasan & driver were excellent guide and driver. If you plan to stay longer, try to get a night stay in a hotel.

Tour guide was amazing! The buses were very comfortable. Trip planning was efficient which is important considering the long drive.

I will reiterate what many others have said - the Troy excursion alone is fine (better if you are an archeology buff or know the Iliad very well). But the distance and the time spent is rough if you only do Troy.
It’s an early morning, then a 5 hour drive to Escabat, lunch, a ferry ride across the Dardanelles, a 30 minute ride to Troy, 1-2 hours at Troy (you get an overview of the Iliad on the ride to Troy and then go through an archeological visit at the site itself), and then the whole thing in reverse (minus Lunch).
If you can swing it with time - DEFINITELY opt for the two day Troy and Gallipoli tour instead. You’re on the same bus out, but you do either Troy or Gallipoli on day one, with an evening and morning to explore Canakkale before doing the other tour and heading back.

Drivers were smooth and safe. One of our party did not geft motion sickness, so we are greatful for good drivers. Lunch included was quite nice and offered enough time to have a meal and conversation without rush. Our guide, Charlie, was knowledgeable and truly engaged the group with legends and archeological fact. We talked about the iliad and we were impressed especially when charlie pointed out the south gate where legen has it, is the place Achilles died. I was thrilled as a little boy to be in that spot.We liked his youthful zeal which even captursd even the oldest members of tne tour. This trip i have been planning for over fifty years and this life dream was made all better with the excellent drivers and charlie of course.

It was a long drive and just few hours on the site .Very tiring experience . Better to do a 2 day trip but we did not have the time.

All I can say is “wow!” Loved this tour! So much history and our guide Burat was very fun and engaging with everyone. He really knew his stuff! He basically taught us a archeological lesson and made sure everyone had an amazing time.
