Our experience

We operate tours to the Gallipoli battlefields every day of the year. Since 1997, we have been one of the biggest tour operators for ANZAC Day tours. Our Head Tour Guides for Gallipoli are the best in Turkey. They brief and train the many licensed guides that we need to employ for our ANZAC Day tours so you can be sure of a brilliant 2015 ANZAC Day experience.

Get a good spot at the dawn service

As soon as we are able to, and following a visit to the archaeological ruins of Troy (and a fun lunch-time aussie BBQ), we will cross the Dardanelles to the Gallipoli Peninsula, and head straight to the Anzac area to secure the best spot possible.

Your price guarantee

If you want the cheapest ANZAC Day tour then you've picked the wrong place but just consider one thing - are you really going to risk your once in a lifetime 2015 ANZAC Day experience for less than the cost of a good night out? We wont give you something for nothing, but we guarantee to deliver what you've paid for.

Responsible travel

Turkey does a fantastic job every day of the year in accommodating Australian's and New Zealander's who want to visit Gallipoli, ANZAC Cove, Lone Pine, Chunuk Bair etc., especially on ANZAC Day.

Want to enhance your ANZAC Day experience?

There are probably 3 or 4 great Gallipoli tour guides in the whole of Turkey so if a company tells you that their tour guides are Gallipoli experts, well, you decide the truth? We suggest you read a little about Gallipoli before your trip, this will ensure you'll have a far greater appreciation of the commemorations. Please also remember that ANZAC Day is a huge event so be prepared that things may not go according to schedule.

ANZAC Day snapshot, what's it like at Gallipoli on ANZAC Day?

       

As soon as we are able to, you are taken to the site of the dawn service to get a good spot. There are food stalls selling a great variety of Turkish Kebabs, pancakes and fast hot foods close-by so you won't go hungry.

There are big screens and music to entertain you and to thank you - the people who have made the pilgrimage to Gallipoli for ANZAC Day. War veterans, military personnel and media will be everywhere and the atmosphere is electric. There is a unique feeling in the air, a celebration of peace subdued by a cloud of commemoration.

Within a few hours, the site will appear like a sea of colour with thousands of Aussies and Kiwis sprawling out on the grass, warmly wrapped up in sleeping bags, National flags flying high and rugby tops on their backs. Get a few hours of rest/sleep on the grass because soon the MC will be asking you to squash forward to try and make space for the thousands more people still to come.

The buzzing atmosphere will permeate the whole night. Well before the grey light of dawn signals the start of the dawn service, speakers and entertainers begin their addresses, folk songs and stories.

All prices are per person and based on share accommodation basis.
