What people love about Budget Tours in Turkey
- Turkey in Depth
Well done, Explore. It was a wonderful holiday and I look forward to travelling with you again.
- Cappadocia, Ephesus and Pamukkale in 5 Days
Turkey is a beautiful place with so much to see, learn and experience— I would love to return and spend more time exploring! We appreciated Özgür’s responsiveness while planning the trip, and he remained responsive during our whole time in Turkey. He kept us informed of the next steps and of any unexpected changes in our itinerary due to weather, asking for our preference when possible. Our transitions between locations were smooth. The guides in each location are professional, friendly, and knowledgeable— they made the experience interesting and enjoyable. The hotels where we stayed were comfortable— the one in Cappadocia was especially lovely. I really appreciated the guides’ efforts to help me with my meals during lunchtime— I’m on a plant-based diet and although the main dish usually had meat, the guides spoke to the restaurants and arranged a delicious alternative for me. I managed well during breakfast with the options at the hotels, and other restaurants had good options for dinner. I feel I ate well. Overall, I had a wonderful experience. I highly recommend visiting Turkey, and I’m sure you will have a good experience arranging a tour with City of Sultans.
- Best of Cappadocia, Antalya, Pamukkale, Ephesus in 6 Days
I would like to recommend City of Sultans and their services to all the people who might be looking at reviews in order to get their money's worth, everything from our accommodations to the guide was great! Mr. Ozgur was especially helpful and we could reach him about anything whenever we wanted to before and during our stay!

Most budget tours provide 3-4 star hotels in cities and traditional cave hotels in Cappadocia. In Istanbul you'll find stays at properties like Celal Sultan Hotel or Antea Hotel near the Old City. Cappadocia offers unique lodging at places like Zula Cave House or Under Cave Hotel. According to a TourRadar review: "The hotels were all excellent - the best is the Fresco cave in Cappadocia excellent service excellent place."
When is the most affordable time to visit Turkey?
Plan your visit during March-April or October-November to find the best rates. These shoulder season months offer lower hotel prices in key destinations like Istanbul and Cappadocia along with comfortable temperatures for exploring. A TourRadar traveler confirms: "The October weather was perfect for sightseeing in Cappadocia and Istanbul without the summer crowds and high prices."
Which regions offer the best value for budget travelers in Turkey?
Look to Cappadocia and Mediterranean coastal cities like Antalya and Kusadasi for budget-friendly options.

As noted by a TourRadar traveler: "Kusadasi and Cappadocia offered the best value with reasonable hotel rates and plenty of free or low-cost activities."
How much should I budget for entrance fees to attractions in Turkey?
Set aside funds for key optional activities such as hot air balloon rides in Cappadocia (290 EUR) Turkish bath experiences (75 EUR) and Bosphorus cruises (55 USD). A TourRadar traveler shares: "The hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia was worth every penny extra - it's a must-do experience despite being outside the basic tour cost."
How much additional money should I budget for meals not included?
Plan for 20-30 USD daily for meals not covered by your tour. While hotels typically include breakfast and some tours provide lunch dinners are often separate. Local restaurants in Istanbul and Kusadasi serve main dishes for 8-15 USD.
