Join The Backpacker Tour Company at the dawn service where the legend was born -

In 2006 we will again be joining forces with Indigo Tours to offer great value, well organised, land based tours to Gallipoli for Anzac Day. Below are details for our 2006 tours,

All tours start and finish in Istanbul, giving you the flexibility to organise your own flight to Turkey and then let us escort you to one of the most moving experiences of your life.

Fully Qualified, Experienced local guides along with our tour reps will accompany you throughout the duration of your tour, giving you a combination of local knowledge with a touch of home. Indigo use air-conditioned, non-smoking, coaches and offer excellent 3/4 star hotels in Istanbul. Turkish style breakfasts are provided each morning. Along with packed breakfast for the Anzac period.

One of the attributes of our tours is that we don’t camp and we have our own rep on each tour. We also provide guided tours of the Gallipoli peninsula with a full historical background to the ill-fated campaign. All entrance fees to escorted sites are included as well as a souvenir Anzac Day T-shirt. Most importantly we will take you to the unforgettable dawn service on April 25.

Don't waste time. Now is the time to get yourself organised, you can book your tour and reserve your flights to Istanbul.
