    • TrafalgarOperator•Written February 2023

      Katrina

      Traveler•Written February 2023

      The date is perfect but the price is too expensive. Sadly I can not afford this one. But do you also organise air travel?

    • TrafalgarOperator•Written February 2023

      The tours we offer will not include international airfare, as Travellers can join the trip from many different countries. We do have a helpful place to search flight prices and book your own flights. You will be responsible for booking your own flights to meet at the starting city of your tour.

    Renee

    Asked on January 1st, 2023

    Does this tour enable us to attend the Dawn Service at Anzac Cove? If so is it necessary for us to apply for an official pass through the New Zealand or Australian Defence Forces?

    Tour Details
    Travel Support
    • TrafalgarOperator•Written January 2023

      This departure does allow you to attend the Dawn Service. All guests must pre-register with the Department of Veterans Affairs to the Anzac Day Dawn Service in Gallipoli. Historically registration opens approx. 2 months prior to Anzac Day.

    • R

      Renee

      Traveler•Written January 2023

      I have checked the New Zealand Defence Force registration page and found we have to choose between the Dawn Service at Chunuk Bair (New Zealand) or Lone Pine (Australian) due to time constraints not allowing attending both. We would prefer to attend the Chunuk Bair service. I am assuming this is possible but am just checking.

    • TrafalgarOperator•Written January 2023

      Yes, it is possible to attend the Chunuk Bair service. Generally, Australian guests attend ceremonies only at Lone Pine and New Zealand guests attend ceremonies only at Chunuk Bair due to time constraints, though it is possible for our guests to choose the ceremony they would like to attend.

    • R

      Renee

      Traveler•Written February 2023

      Can you please confirm the approximate time the tour arrives back into Istanbul from Ankara on day 13 of the tour.

    • TrafalgarOperator•Written February 2023

      The approximate time that the tour will arrive in Istanbul is early in the afternoon, please note the timing may vary depending on traffic conditions. A complete itinerary information will be given to the guest 21 days prior to the departure of their tour.
