when we are sleeping out side before the dawn service do you provide any sleeping mats, blankets or sleeping bags ? can you also purchase food or drink there ?

For the night before the Dawn Service (18 April 2026), you will need to bring your own sleeping bag or mat, as nothing is provided on site. Also, please note that no food or drinks can be purchased at the location, so we recommend bringing snacks and water with you in advance.

Are these $900pp in entry fees in addition to the tour cost?

The cost of the optional activities and the entrance fees are not included in the tour package. They will all be paid by the passenger on site.

How much is the cost for the single supplement and the total amount of his tour will be?

Is it possible for a traveller over 60 years old to join the tour and share a twin room with a fellow female traveller?

Are we able to join the tour if we are in our early 60s but very fit, exercising daily including running and boxing?

Our age range for this tour is 18 to 50 but we are trying to be flexible depending on the demography of the departure.

Hi there, i was wondering if we get any ocean time/beach time in this trip ? and is there any dessert camping ?

The tour itself do not include a swimming activity with the group, however accommodation facilities will offer swimming pools so you may take advantage of those

I am looking at this tour but my husband will be 63 and I 53. We are both fit and active. Is this acceptable please?

Of course, you are welcome to book the tour!

Is there an entrance fee to the Anzac Cove? Is hot air ballooning an option?

There is no entry fee to Anzac Cove and Hot air Ballooning is an optional extra for an additional cost.

Is there a local payment?

No, there is no local payment on this tour departure.

Overall, this was an absolutely brilliant tour! We had a great group of people on the bus, with a very friendly, helpful and generally excellent tour guide(Sami). Our two bus drivers(Oktay + Nafiz) were both brilliant, getting us around quickly + safely and always happy to stop to suit the tour group. The sightseeing + activities were great, covering all the main essentials that you want to see when visitng Turkey as well as a few extras. Although i booked the trip mainly for the Anzac dawn service at Gallipoli, i really did enjoy all the sightseeing. Anzac day was amazing!Show more

I Had an amazing experience on my 9 day anzac tour through Turkey. The scenery, culture, food, shisha and incredibly moving ANZAC dawn service made this a trip i will never forget. Everything was very well organised, our tour guide Kevs was 10/10, he had so much insight and knowledge of Turkish culture, its history, where to eat and drink and was entertaining. He went above and beyond to ensure we had our hot air ballooning experience despite weather disrupting original plans and we had the best time! Thankyou travel talk and Kevs for making this experience so epic. XxShow more

The Anzac tour was great, mainly because we had an amazing guide in Sami and also really good drivers. However there where definitely some organisational issues that stopped it being a 5 star review. It's not clearly stated but the Anzac tour is huge as in 7-8 full buses so if you're keen to travel with a group of people make sure you contact Traveltalk in advance as you may end up on different buses and staying on different hotels in some instances. We ended up staying at the Princess Hotel in Istanbul, it was away from the old town and literary falling apart (one room had exposed wiring and no plumbing) while the other buses stayed in a 5 star place near the old town. I was also given the wrong size hoody, which is minor but frustrating as TravelTalk called me to specifically ask what size I wanted. Other than that, I highly recommend the tour, Turkey is amazing and to experience Anzac Day day service was incredible and something I will never forget.Show more

It was amazing. Sami was our guide and he was so knowledgeable about everything from Islam, contemporary Turkish culture and ancient Roman and Greek history. The hotels were mostly superb and half board was included (dinner and breakfast). Hot air ballooning in Cappadocia and touring Ephesus were the highlights for me. I loved Istanbul, wished I could have had more time there. And there was Gallipoli too, with the ANZAC memorial services, so important to us Aussies and Kiwis. So glad I did this trip!Show more

Another amazing tour with Travel Talk! Anzac day was an unforgettable experience and thanks to Travel Talks organisation and fantastic local guide we were able to secure one of the best spots to watch the dawn ceremony and remember our fallen soldiers. The rest of the Turkey tour well and truly exceeded my expectations, with highlights including hot air ballooning in Cappadocia and the wild Turkish night. Thankyou travel talk for showing me your breathtakingly beautiful country!Show more
