My wife and I were worried about traveling far from home with our one year old daughter, but thanks to your planning and flexibility we had a wonderful time! The hotel was in a prime location, close to everything, and our tour guide Eren was knowledgeable, pleasant and even helped us with our daughter Sophia! I read these testimonials before we decided to choose City Of Sultans for our tour, and let me suggest to anyone else considering a trip to Turkey that this company is professional and excellent. In addition, the people of this fine country are warm and friendly, and Istanbul can certainly be described as a "magical" city.

Asked on August 28th, 2022Hello there, its fantastic that you also offer airport pickup with it! I'll be arriving in Istanbul on the 14th and will be a solo traveller for about 4 or 5 days till I meet up with a friend in Goreme on the 19th.. so having a tour group straight away would be perfect for me, as well as the airport pick-up.
- City of SultansOperator•Written August 2022
Yes, the tour includes Airport Pick and drop off as well. You can book the tour online, and get instant confirmation.

Heather
Traveler•Written August 2022I'm going to book and am happy to twin share if I can, but I can only book as a so traveller. If there is someone else who would like to share, would you keep that in mind for me as it is quite a big jump in price as a solo traveller?
- City of SultansOperator•Written August 2022
We do not provide twin share for single travellers. You should book the tour by adding the Single Room supplement, and you will have a Single room at the hotel.
