Great tour and fantastic service by Gallipoli Tour & Tukey Tour Booking (Allstar Travel)…
Our guide, Hasan, spoke very good English and was extremely knowledgeable in the details of the battles that took place on the peninsular.
Really enjoyed it, well organized from the hotel pickup back to the hotel.
