Troy Tour Customer Comments

Rebecca Edwards

A big mythology buff, I definitely knew that a day trip to Troy was in order as part of a long layover in Istanbul. After a lot of research, I selected RSL Tours, and am very happy with my selection. Oli, the coordinator, was kind enough to allow me to bump up my trip date due to an unexpected schedule change, and was a pleasant conversationalist via e-mail as well! The bus pick-up was right on time (within 3 minutes) and the ride was comfortable, given that it is over 4+ hours each way.

The guide, Burak, was terrific - filled with lots of interesting insights and information, and very passionate about the topic (he has a forthcoming book with some theories on archaeological questions at Troy) and made the visit come alive for all members of our small group.

I'm hoping to come back in the medium-term future after the museum (under construction at the site) is completed to see even more of the archaeological findings, and will definitely use RSL again.

Great job!

I used RSL Tours (& Eceabat Hotel) to travel form Istanbul to Troia. The day trip was made the better for a polite service, timely rest stops and pleasant food. It was well worth the effort, as it was a long day.
