“Our guide Elcan was amazing. So much knowledge about the operations, people and battle defining moments of the Australian, New Zealand and Turkish armies. The ferry ride was first up followed by a very enjoyable lunch which was needed as the tour then kicks off. At times hard to fathom the number of soldiers killed on both sides for no real reason. All up a great experience”

“Very well organised. Crowded House do a lot of tours and during the off season, these often end up being combined. So it was great to see some very well planned coordination between all guides and drivers! Troy was nice, but the highlight for me was definitely Gallipoli!”
