We booked the private tour to Troy from Istanbul on our honeymoon and it was such a lovely day. The transfer was on time and comfortable, which mattered with the long drive. Our guide kept the history easy to follow and gave us time to wander together without rushing. One Nation Travel also surprised us with a small room upgrade at our hotel after the tour, such a nice touch. We felt really looked after.
