The only redeeming part of the trip was the guide in Troy. Quite informative and well worth your time. The rest was a nightmare. The 3 hour drive from Istanbul turned out to be 6 hours because the driver drove 40 mile per hour all the way. The 5 star hotel was 4 star at best. The Gallipoli tour was basically drive 100 feet, get out, listen to the guide drone on for 45 minutes and get back in the van and repeat for 4 hours. Drive back to Istanbul was another 6 hour marathon dropping people off at their hotels. Not worth the time or money. Food was not particularly good either.
