Troy Day Tour from Canakkale – 4-Hour Guided Visit with Pick-Up

Troy day tour from Canakkale: the key facts

This is a four-hour guided group visit to the ancient city of Troy, with pick-up and drop-off at your hotel in Canakkale. A licensed guide takes you past the replica of the Trojan Horse, along the city walls, which the page dates to about 3,700 years ago, and through the many excavated levels of the site, including the sacrificial altars, the houses of Troy I, the agora, the odeon and the bouleuterion. Entrance to Troy Ancient City is included. Meals are not.

It suits travellers staying in Canakkale who want Troy explained properly in half a day, and who may be fitting it around a ferry, a bus or a Gallipoli visit on the same day. The price is from $93 per person.

Which departure time should we choose?

The FAQ gives two departures a day, at 08:30 and at 12:45, each lasting about four hours. The booking form, however, offers half-hour slots from 08:00 to 14:00, has no 12:45 option and marks 09:00 as "suggested". Those do not match, so choose the time closest to what you want and tell us in your message whether you prefer the morning or the afternoon departure. We will confirm the actual pick-up time in writing. The morning departure leaves the afternoon free; the afternoon one suits a late arrival in Canakkale.

Does this tour include Gallipoli?

No. The page lists the destinations as "Troy - Gallipoli", but the overview, inclusions and sights cover Troy only. Gallipoli is offered as a separate add-on. You can pair this tour with the Gallipoli half-day tour from Canakkale, or see the southern battlefields on the Cape Helles and ANZAC tour from Canakkale. Ask us to confirm in writing which sites your booking covers. Background on the battlefields is on our Gallipoli destination page.

What will we see at Troy?

The FAQ lists the Trojan Horse replica, the ancient city, the sacrificial altars, the walls, the Troy I houses, the agora, the odeon and the bouleuterion. The site is a set of layers built one on top of another over a long period, and the guide's job is to explain which wall or house belongs to which city. Only the entrance to Troy Ancient City is listed; the page does not mention the separate Troy Museum, so ask us if you would like to visit it as well. Read more on our Troy Ancient City and Troy destination pages.

Can you time it around our ferry or bus?

The page says pick-up and drop-off can be timed around a ferry, a bus or a same-day Gallipoli visit. Send us your arrival or departure time and the name of your hotel, and we will tell you which departure works and confirm it in writing. If you are carrying luggage on a travel day, mention it when you book so we can confirm there is room in the vehicle. Leave a margin between the end of the tour and any onward bus or ferry.

Is food included?

No. Meals are listed as not included. Eat before a morning departure, or have lunch in Canakkale before the 12:45 one. Bring water, especially in summer, because the site is open and there is little shade. Personal expenses such as drinks or souvenirs are also extra.

How much walking is there, and what should we wear?

The visit is on foot around the site, on paths, steps and uneven ground between the excavation levels. It is not long or steep, but wear closed walking shoes. In summer bring a hat and sun cream; in the cooler months a windproof layer helps, as the site is exposed. If anyone in your group has limited mobility, tell us before booking.

Which language will the guide speak?

The inclusions describe an English-speaking guide. The FAQ says English or Spanish and adds that the price may vary by language. If you need Spanish, ask when you book and get the language and final price confirmed in writing before you pay.

Coming from Istanbul instead?

This tour starts in Canakkale. If you are based in Istanbul, our Troy day tour from Istanbul includes the journey, and the Troy and Pergamon tour from Canakkale to Kusadasi is the option if you are moving south towards Ephesus. All options are on our Troy tours list.
