Your tour start after you cross to the other side in the ferry (after lunch), before that you don’t know much of what is happening so there’s a lot of time just spent on the bus or ferry but they won’t explain anything. The same on the way back. Punctuality and professionalism was top.

It's a long trip to Troy, but is totally worth it once you are there. The trip is long and the time in the arquealogical place is no more than an hour or two including the city and the ferri, so that's what you must expect. The drivers and the guides are really profesional and kind. Overall is a good experience.

A magical experience in being able to visit the ruins of what was once the legendary city of Troy. The tour was quite long, in addition to having taken a ferry to go from the European side to the Asian side of Turkey and changed vehicles to get to the place, but it was very worth it to know such an iconic place that was part of the mythological war present in the imagination of so many people (especially mine).
