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!
