During our recent visit to Turkey, I booked a day trip from Istanbul to Gallipoli. We were collected from our hotel in a very comfortable Mercedes Benz vehicle for the approx. 4 hour drive, whereby shortly before arriving, we collected our guide APO (Abdurrahim Boz). As proud Australians - my husband, an ex infantry serviceman - we thought our knowledge of the events at Gallipoli was strong and clear however, APO put paid to the idea. This well spoken, very articulate gentleman has 17+ years of researched knowledge, backed up by visual aids which he is very happy to share and explain. His highly respectful tone and genuine approach makes him the perfect guide for a day at Gallipoli. In our opinion, this was a VIP experience, second to none. To use any guide with lesser passion, respect or knowledge would be a waste. We are appreciative of APO’s time, knowledge, kindness, respect and genuine passion for the events at Gallipoli and hold him in high esteem for the efforts he went to to make our Gallipoli Experience one we will always remember.
