As an Australian, attending the Anzac Day Dawn Service with the Ephesus Trooper Tour was a truly emotional and unforgettable experience. Everything was perfectly organized, from the heartfelt ceremonies at Gallipoli to exploring the ancient cities of Troy, Pergamon, and finally reaching Ephesus. The guides were incredibly knowledgeable and respectful of the history, making the journey even more meaningful. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to honor the ANZAC legacy while discovering Turkey’s incredible cultural heritage.
