Highlights of Turkey

We booked our Highlights of Turkey Tour, and Best of Greece Cruise through Grace from the instant week made the initial enquiry through to questions we had on a Cruise, Grace was professional always replied within a few hours, and she always checked in that we understood the answers etc. to our questions.
We have travelled with Trafalgar before read more and was the main reason for booking the Highlights of Turkey tour and it did not let us down, our tour director Tolga was amazing and so was the tour, sometimes very fast paced with early mornings and late nights but that's all part of travel. Highlights for us was Cappadocia it was like being on a different planet truly amazing. Gallipoli was also a highlight to see Anzac Cove and be able to walk along the beach a wonderful and sobering experience.

Wow what an experience. It was so easy to find a tour and book with Tracey through the Global Journey's website. We chose the Best of Turkey with Trafalgar Tours because of the itinerary. It seemed to cover most of eastern Turkey with a couple of 2 night stays here and there to slow the pace. Then the war happened.... Tracey was great in helping to read more find solutions to the air travel that we had booked and so glad we went. Our Tour Director Daghan was one of the best.....not only the extensive history but myths, local knowledge and recommendations. Would definitely book with Global Journeys and Trafalgar again.

Tracey was fantastic in handling the booking, the tour was fantastic, mainly due to Peter the tour leader in Greece. He is a gem, couldn't do enough for us two in particular because we had a few issues of our own. Those islands are incredible , we had never been to the mediterranean before , so it was all mind blowing and we kept on running out of phonebattery read more taking so many pictures. The only negative comment and it's only related to us personally, was that being over 80 and not used to walking 5 miles over goat tracks and up and down mountains, we may have chosen a less strenuous holiday. 10 out of 10.
The accommodations, bus and food were great as a starting point. Our tour director was so knowledgeable, informative and personable as well as making sure everything was the best it could possibly be and everyone was cared for. And the places we visited were iconic, with good local guides providing insight , it was a very fulfilling and memorable experience. read more Visiting off season was perfect. The weather was still good and the crowds were down. Seeing the Parthenon, Olympia and Delphi were peak experiences. A beautiful country with wonderful people and great food.
Gallipoli/Troy
Gallipoli Pilgrimage
Wayne and Cass, NSW, Australia, Nov 2025
Considering the distance from Istanbul to the Anzac sites (5 hours on a mini bus), it was absolutely fabulous. Pickup smooth, trip smooth, comfort stop half way, lunch plentiful, transition to guide smooth. 12 on our bus, Australian, Kiwi, Canadians. Our guide for the afternoon’s tour of WW1 sites was Burak, and he was pure gold. We stayed on for the read more second day (others headed straight back to Istanbul). Gorgeous half hour across the Dardanelles to the delightful surprise of Canakkale. Staff transitioning us across and to our hotel fantastic. We then bar hopped our night away and met the most wonderful Turkish people. Çanakkale was fantastic. Slow morning. Cafe hopped. Short (25 min) bus ride to the ruins of Troy - it was nice, but that’s all. Back across the Dardanelles and to our hotel in Istanbul by 9.30pm, which was ahead of schedule. If you must see Gallipoli, you also must have a night out in Canakkale. Glad we did it.
