You will be collected from the airport and as a group we will make our way to the hotel where we can drop off our luggage before the first of our walking tours.

We start our walks with a tour of the old city which includes the Blue Mosque, Hippodrome and Topkapi Palace.

Today we travel via Troy to the Gallipoli Peninsula. We shall make a few short stops at places along the way to discuss the allied submarine campaign which played a vital, yet often overlooked part, in this campaign. The amazing sights of Troy will captivate you and reinforce the fact that the allies of the Great War were not the first invaders of this ancient land

An early start as we push offshore so that we are out on the water as the dawn breaks over the "first ridge". Here we shall see a perfect silhoutte of "The Sphinx" which would become a major land mark throughout the campaign. Whilst the men of the 3rd Infantry Brigade touched shore at 4.30am, we shall await full light to view the Anzac skyline u2013 cruising the Anzac positions as far north as u201cFishermanu2019s Hutu201d and as far south as Gaba Tepe. Once our cruise is complete, we will come ashore at Anzac Cove and explore Beach Cemetery. The rest of the day will be spent on a tour of the Gallipoli Peninsula by vehicle. This will encompass all of the main positions of the Anzac's which are accessible by vehicle; before we head down to Cape Helles where the British and French forces landed.

This is a full day trek which will see us commence from Anzac Cove. Referred to as the "Loutit Incursion", we will cross the southern shoulder of Plugge's Plateau and trek down through Shrapnel Valley. We will then clamber up the steep slope which forms the northern end of the 4000 Plateau (which formed part of the Second Ridge), taking in the 4th Battalion Cemetery amongst others. Traversing down the northern side of Owenu2019s Gully, our goal on this day will be Scrubby Knoll on the Third Ridge.rnrnEarly on the morning of August 6, 1915, a combined force from the 3rd Australian Light Horse Brigade and the 8th and 10th Light Horse Regiments made four successive but ultimately futile attempts to seize the Turkish trenches.rnrnThe Allies undertook a major offensive to try and break out of the u201cAnzacu201d area in conjunction with feint attacks at Cape Helles and Lone Pine, and a further British landing at Suvla Bay. It was hoped this would allow the Allied armies to capture the Straits of Dardanelles, their original goal. While the main Turkish trench was taken in the first 20 minutes, there were four days of fierce fighting that followed resulting in some 2000 Australian casualties.

Seven Australians were awarded the Victoria Cross for their bravery at Lone Pine.

Today will entail a bit of a climb, taking in the area just north of Ari Burnu through Russell's Top - up to Baby 700 and Battleship Hill. During this climb we will discuss the exploits of some of our New Zealand allies and walk on hallowed ground as we explore positions manned by the Australian Light Horse during the August Offensive of 1915 - The Battle of Lone Pine.

Today, we will explore the site, which was previously fortified by the Turks, the promontory of Gaba Tepe. Our exploration today will take us over those southern spurs and valley that formed the right flank on the Australian line. The valleys and spurs to the south of Lone Pine are rarely walked or explored; encompassing many of the names which you have no doubt seen on a map, but possibly never contemplated. This is the ground once dominated by snipers on both sides, especially one Queenslander dubbed "The Gallipoli Assassin". From Bolton's Ridge to the area that was once known as "The Wheatfield". Other areas such as Ryrie's Post, Tasmania Post, Holly Ridge and Eanes's Trench, Allah's Gully and Silt Spur, Coonee Gully and the "Knife Edge" of Snipers Ridge through to Pine Ridge, just to name a few.

Today you walk in the footsteps of the "men with the donkeys", whose contribution to the campaign has become legendary.

Having passed through Shrapnel Valley earlier on our tour, today we will take our time to explore Shrapnel Valley and the surrounding area. This will include a visit to the cemeteries in the valley. We will explore Monash Valley and surrounding areas as well as Anzac Cove and the gullies below the sphinx.

Today we will visit Hill 60, known to the Turks as Kiajik Aghala. We will then travel onto Suvla Bay. Suvla Bay was selected as an appropriate site for the landing of reinforcements after the landings at Anzac Cove and Cape Helles. Here, there will be plenty of opportunity to explore the ground on foot.

Much of today will be spent travelling by vehicle and a good chance to rest your legs. Very few visit this northern flank which is an essential part of the overall story.

Apart from Anzac Cove, Lone Pine is perhaps the most well known of all positions on the Gallipoli Peninsula. Taking in both lobes of the 400 Plateau, including "The Cup", we shall thoroughly explore this area. A short walk along the road will reveal a tunnel, which was excavated by Australian Engineers during the campaign.

This is our last day at Gallipoli, and a fitting way to conclude our time here.

Today we travel back to Istanbul where we will enjoy a farewell dinner.

Today we make our way to the airport.
