Very enjoyable day trip to Troy. - A very enjoyable day trip to Troy from Istanbul. The journey is quite long but we stopped twice which was nice. There was also a ferry from Europe to Asia and back which had some nice views. The history of Troy is very interesting and not just about a wooden horse or Helen of Troy! We were treated to a wonderful tour and we learnt so much!

This tour will take you to Troy with ease! - I had initially planned to take the bus myself, but the bus terminal was a bit far from the city center and the Troy ruins were also a bit out of town. This tour was well organized and I was pleased with it. The staff picked us up at a nearby hotel in the morning and dropped us off at the same location on the way back. Lunch was included and the ferry fare was also included. Our guide was knowledgeable and had a good sense of humor. You should definitely experience this tour too!
