About Gallipoli Tours Turkey

Gallipoli Tours Turkey is a local team of licensed guides and history enthusiasts who have spent years walking the peninsula and sharing its story with visitors from around the world. We exist to make a visit to these battlefields not just informative, but genuinely moving and personal.

Our story

We began with a simple belief: that the people who travel thousands of kilometres to stand at ANZAC Cove or Lone Pine deserve more than a rushed checklist. Many of our guests come to honour a great-grandfather, an uncle or a name on a memorial, and we treat every visit with the care that responsibility demands. Over the years we have guided families, school groups, veterans and first-time visitors, and each journey has deepened our commitment to telling this history well.

Our guides

Every tour is led by a licensed, English-speaking guide with a genuine specialism in the Gallipoli campaign. They know the sites intimately, but more importantly they know the stories: the order Ataturk gave at Chunuk Bair, the charge at the Nek, the quiet courage of the men in the trenches. A great guide turns a row of headstones into a human story, and that is what we strive for on every visit.

How we work

We keep things straightforward and comfortable. Our day tours from Istanbul handle the long drive and logistics so you can focus on the battlefields, while our two-day Gallipoli and Troy itineraries and private tours offer a slower, more tailored pace. Groups are kept manageable, vehicles are air-conditioned, and we build in time to pause and reflect rather than hurry from site to site.

Respect and remembrance

Gallipoli is a place of remembrance for many nations, and we honour every side of the story. We give equal weight to the Allied and Ottoman experience, from the ANZAC cemeteries to the Turkish memorials, because the campaign belongs to all who fought and fell here. Above all, we believe these hillsides should be walked with humility, and we are privileged to share them with you.
