I liked the way this tour combined two different periods of history. Even though I knew about the Trojan war, being there is a whole different experience. The ancient city has a lot to see. Our guide was a lovely girl, and oh, she knew a lot!!! If you ask me, Gallipoli was the coolest place. We went on to explore modern history, which is quite interesting. We went to several battle fields and memorials. The overnight stay was good, hotel was nice, and all the meals we had were tasty. In general, I think this is a cool tour to join, it had a bit of all.
