My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
5 Days Çanakkale History, Gallipoli Battlefields & Turkish Cooking Lesson Private Tour
Highlights of the Çanakkale & Gallipoli Heritage Tour
Immerse yourself in the profound history of the Dardanelles region with this comprehensive five-day journey. Your adventure begins in Çanakkale, where you will explore the majestic Kilitbahir Castle and the strategic Namazgah Bases, guided by experts who provide detailed insights into Ottoman-era artifacts and military fortifications. The tour extends to the historic Seddülbahir Front, offering a glimpse into the critical defensive lines of the past.
The heart of the itinerary is a detailed exploration of the Gallipoli Peninsula, a site of immense historical significance. You will visit the Anzac Cove, the Ariburnu cliffs, and the poignant Anzac Cemetery, listening to the story of the Anzac landing. The tour continues to the Red Ridge, the original Anzac battlements, and the tunnels where war tactics were executed. You will also visit the 57th Regiment Martyrdom, Kesikdere, and the iconic Conkbayiri, the area associated with Mustafa Kemal, concluding with a visit to Kemalyeri and the New Zealand Monument.
Beyond the battlefields, this tour offers a rich cultural experience. You will participate in a professional Turkish cooking lesson, learning to prepare authentic local dishes such as Flap, Metez, and Tumbi, followed by a delicious lunch. To complete the relaxation aspect, you will enjoy a traditional Turkish bath (hamam), a bathing tradition that blends Turkish customs with older Roman and Byzantine practice. This balanced program ensures a deep understanding of the region’s military history alongside its vibrant culinary and cultural traditions.

What Our Travellers Say
Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
