ANZAC Day 2009
2009 ANZAC Day Tours
2009 ANZAC Day tours operated by Trooper Tours get you to the ANZAC day Dawn Service at ANZAC cove as well as the Australia service at Lone Pine memorial and the New Zealand service at Chunuk Bair memorial. Trooper Tours have several ANZAC Day tours from 2 days to 16 days.

Our experience
We operate tours to the Gallipoli battlefields every day of the year, in fact, we even have a branch office near Gallipoli at Canakkale. Every year since 1997, we are one of the biggest tour operators for ANZAC Day. Our head tour guides are the best Gallipoli tour guides and will brief and train our 50 or so other licensed guides that we need to employ for ANZAC Day.

Get a good spot at the dawn service
Following the afternoon tour of the Gallipoli battlefields, we go straight to the site of the dawn service to get a good comfortable spot on the grass near the front, by 9pm the grass areas is full and people are squashing in up the back, around the sides, wherever they can fit - not a comfortable way to spend the night.

Your price guarantee
If you want the cheapest ANZAC Day tour then you've picked up the wrong brochure but just consider one thing - are you really going to risk your once in a lifetime ANZAC experience for less than the cost of a good night out? We wont give you something for nothing, but we guarantee to deliver what you've paid for.

Responsible travel
Turkey does a fantastic job every day of the year in accommodating Australian's and New Zealander's who want to visit Gallipoli, Dawn Service and ANZAC Day ceremonies, especially on ANZAC Day. When you travel with Fez you can be sure you are putting something back into the local Turkish economy as Fez are 100% Turkish owned - our head office is in Istanbul.

Your peace of mind
Trooper Tours holds a Group A TURSAB (Turkish Tourism Authority) license, which offers you, the client, maximum peace of mind. Fez is a member of the European Tour Operators Association (ETOA) and the American Society of Travel Agents (ASTA) and we adhere to the ASTA code of ethics http://www.astanet.com/about/codeofethics.asp

Want to see Turkey on a budget?
Then check out our Fez Bus Tours designed to do just that! These fully optional tours follow the same circuit as our hop on hop off 'Fez Bus' network does, though there is no need to hop on or off as they stop at the most popular places on the way. They also help you stretch that budget as much as possible by including hostel accommodation and the choice to do as much or as little along the way as you want.

Our tours have a range of inclusions:
  • Early arrival to the dawn service (around 5pm on the 24th)
  • ANZAC Day at Gallipoli Commemorative gift
  • Transportation in a fully air-conditioned non-smoking coach
  • Professional English speaking tour guide for the duration of the tour
  • Anzac Day memorial services at Gallipoli
  • All hotel accommodation as per itinerary
  • Daily breakfast (other than ANZAC day) usually with several other meals along the way
All prices are per person and based on share accommodation basis.

Get the most out of your experience
There are probably 3 or 4 great Gallipoli tour guides in the whole of Turkey so if a company tells you that their tour guides are Gallipoli experts, well, you decide the truth? The fact is, most Turks have never heard of ANZAC Cove. Do some reading about Gallipoli before you come for ANZAC Day and you'll have a far greater appreciation of the commemoration. Also remember that ANZAC Day is a huge event and every year things just go wrong. Don't let a cold cup of tea dampen your ANZAC spirit of commemoration.

ANZAC Day snapshot, what's it like at Gallipoli?
After the orientation tour of the Gallipoli battlefields - the stories, the trenches, the grave yards - you will possess a much deeper appreciation of what happened at Gallipoli. At the end of the Battlefields orientation tour you are taken to the site of the dawn service to get a good spot. The local Turks also sell a great variety of Turkish Kebabs, pancakes and fast hot foods.

We try to arrive at the dawn service early evening to get a good spot on the grass, already, there are several hundred people about. There are big screens and music to entertain you and to thank you, the people who have made the pilgrimage to Gallipoli for ANZAC Day. War veterans, military personal and media are everywhere and the atmosphere is electric. There is a unique feeling in the air, a celebration of peace subdued by a cloud of commemoration.

Within a few hours, the site will appear like a sea of colour with thousands of Aussies and Kiwis sprawling out on the grass, warmly wrapped up sleeping bags, National flags and rugby tops. Get a few hours rest/sleep on the grass because by 9pm the MC will be asking you to squash forward to try and make space for the thousands more people still to come.

The buzzing atmosphere will permeate the whole night. Well before the grey light of dawn signals the start of the dawn service, speakers and entertainers begin their addresses, folk songs and stories.
