About this experience
Go on an epic adventure by visiting the the legendary, ancient city of Troy. Begin your trip by getting picked up from your hotel accommodation in central Istanbul. You will get down at the town of Eceabat, where you will feast on a delicious meal at a local restaurant. After lunch, you will get to wander around the ancient ruins of the city where the ancient Greek story of The Iliad is set in. Drop by the majestic remains of many of its architectural marvels, such as the Odeon, a stage where poetry recitals and musical performances took place; the ruins of the Temple of Athena; the Bouleuterion, where political affairs were discussed. You will get to witness excavations currently in progress as well as a towering replica of the Trojan Horse. You will get glimpses of Turkey's past and learn more about Greek mythology. You will even go on a ferry ride on the Dardanelles, a strait that forms part of the boundary between Europe and Asia; you will be in between two continents at once!

Absolutely wonderful trip
This was such a brilliant trip. Visiting Troy has been on my bucket list for years, and our guide Serhat really helped to make the experience. He was very knowledgeable, talked us through the archaelogical finds in detail and was happy to chat history and theories with this massive history and classics nerd :) Everything was organised smoothly - collection from the hotel, the trip down to Canakkale, lunch, the ferry ride across the Hellespoint/Dardanelles Strait, and the final 20 mile drive to Troy. We stopped at services both outgoing and return, so we had chance to get coffee. Massive shout out to our driver too, who dealt with awful traffic!
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for such a wonderful and detailed review! We’re thrilled that visiting Troy lived up to your bucket-list expectations and that Serhat’s knowledge and passion for history made the experience even more special. We’re also glad everything from the hotel pickup and lunch to the ferry crossing and journey to Troy ran smoothly. A big thank you for recognizing our driver as well, especially for handling the challenging traffic. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you on another historical adventure soon! 😊 Kind regards, Tourmania Team

Best day in ever!
It was a great tour, not only informative but well organized. The tour guide was excellent, knowledgeable and with a great sense of humor! It is a long day, so unless you like burning the candle at both ends, recommend keeping the next morning free.
Response from the operator: Dear Guest, Thank you for the wonderful feedback! We’re glad you enjoyed the informative and well-organized tour, and that your guide’s knowledge and sense of humor made the long day worthwhile. Great tip about keeping the next morning free 😊 Kind regards 🧿 Tourmania Team

Exploring Ancient Troy
It was a great trip for the entire day. The ride to there and back was pleasant and the group size was small so we could all hear the tour guide. The tour guide was amazing and we learned about about the city itself and how it grew from a settlement to a major city-state. I definitely recommend this tour to people
via Tripadvisor
Overall, I highly recommend visiting Troy to anyone interested in history, archaeology, or Greek mythology.
My trip to Troy was a memorable experience. The tour operator was professional, well-organized, and made the entire trip to Troy enjoyable.

Why this scores 82
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Troy Full-Day Guided Tour incl. Transfer, Ferry Tickets w/Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does Troy Full-Day Guided Tour incl. Transfer, Ferry Tickets w/Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $125 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Istanbul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Troy Full-Day Guided Tour incl. Transfer, Ferry Tickets w/Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 17 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Istanbul is not rushed.
Is Troy Full-Day Guided Tour incl. Transfer, Ferry Tickets w/Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 82 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 146 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Troy Full-Day Guided Tour incl. Transfer, Ferry Tickets w/Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Troy Full-Day Guided Tour incl. Transfer, Ferry Tickets w/Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 17-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Troy Full-Day Guided Tour incl. Transfer, Ferry Tickets w/Lunch?
+
Around 51 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Istanbul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Istanbul and add a light layer if any part of the 17-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Troy Full-Day Guided Tour incl. Transfer, Ferry Tickets w/Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Istanbul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Istanbul?
+
On Outty we rank every Istanbul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour, Istanbul Luxury Bosphorus Yacht Cruise with Asian Side Stop, ISTANBUL BEST: Iconic Landmarks Full Day PRIVATE Guided City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Istanbul?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Istanbul?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
