Without a doubt Troy is the most famous city of the ancient world, capital of a land of myths and legend, of heroes and Gods, and a land that we can take you to.
This tour is specially designed for those visitors who want a more detailed tour with an expert guide, and who wish to walk in the footsteps of Achilles, Hector and the beautiful Helen and learn of how a long lost city was rediscovered.

Although long, a beautiful drive through the country side and along the sea to visit an area full of history and lore. The lunch was great, excellent coordination, and a wonderful tour of ancient Troy.

My partner and I were based out of Istanbul with no rented card, so this was definitely the best way to experience Troy! It was a very long ride in the van (I get motion sickness, so... Glad I made it!). I agree it's kind of unavoidable, but there is a ferry that goes from Istanbul direct to the location. Surprised we don't use that...?
However, the guide was wonderful and it was nice to get extra flavor text on the ruins and the area's history. This trip included a stop for souvineers, which was much appreciated. For the money and time, this is definitely worth it, specifically when you don't have many other options like we did.

The ride there was terrifying, with the driver driving entirely too fast, and the food served for lunch was sub par. Everyone was nice, though, and the actual guided tour of Troy and the history of Gallipoli provided on the ferry over were wonderful, though. Our guide explained things well and always answered our questions.

It was a long day tour from Istanbul, and the tour company did everything very well and all was well organized and smooth. Guide was energetic and did a good job too, and the driving was safe.
However this tour doesn't offer so much to see. In the archaeological site there is not much excavated, and you will mostly look at various stones spread out on the ground. Also the wooden horse is not built up yet.
Lunch was provided on the tour but a very low cost option set menu and simple foods; also had to eat quite fast as the bus was leaving shortly. Food was not something I would remember this tour for.
A tip for improvement is that the driver on the drop off tour should not make every effort to deliver guests the last 50 metres to the front door inside alleyways. A lot of time was wasted this way. It would be much faster for everyone to get home if there were some drop offs along main roads only with walking distance to hotels.

Had a fantastic time touring around Ancient Troy. Without a knowledgeable guide, it just looks like random rubble of various stone walls. Our guide Simke or Cindy was excellent at bringing the history to life with context and archaeological evidence of what likely happened. As an expert on the Iliad, it was great to hear her connect the dots from the Iliad to the actual structures on site.
Your company was very efficient in picking up, providing breaks and meals, driving and ferrying us to Ancient Troy. There’s a very high ratio of transit time to touring time, but this company managed it quite well. Def download some music or videos because you’ll be in transit for at least 8-10 hrs….

I would highly recommend the tour company and the guide. Extremely professional and efficient. The transfers in the van (including a ferry to and back) was seamless and on time.
As for Troy itself, it was very informative, but a very long drive and most of what you see are the ruins of Troy. But if you are a die hard history buff or into mythology , you will enjoy it .

The walk around the ruins of Troy, to be able to sense the ancient city as it might have been, and the interweaving of the history and the myth made it come alive. I had known about Troy and the stories associated with it. the displays were informative and interesting.

It was an amazing and really interesting tour! Our guide Burak was so passionate, enthusiastic and educated! He told us a lot in details, showed illustrations! Moreover, the transfer was good and comfortable, everything was on time and good! My hubby and I were delighted.
Hope to visit some more places with guide Burak one day! (Soon)
