- JHJennifer· January 11th, 2025Our 7-day tour of Istanbul and Cappadocia was an unforgettable experience! The journey started in Istanbul, where we explored the stunning Hagia Sophia, the vibrant Grand Bazaar, and the magnificent Topkapi Palace. Each day was filled with fascinating history, incredible architecture, and delicious food. The highlight of Istanbul was a boat ride along the Bosphorus, offering breathtaking views of the city’s skyline. Afterward, we traveled to Cappadocia, where the landscape felt almost otherworldly. The hot air balloon ride at sunrise over the fairy chimneys was absolutely magical, and the cave dwellings and ancient rock formations were truly unique. Our guides were knowledgeable and made the trip even more enjoyable with insightful stories and tips. Overall, the tour was well-organized, with plenty of time to explore each destination at a relaxed pace. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the rich culture and natural beauty of Turkey in one trip! Special thanks to Ozgur and Yagiz from City of Sultans for all of their assistance in enabling this beautiful trip!Show more
City of Sultans commented on this reviewThank you very much for the kind words, Jennifer, it was our great pleasure hosting you here in Turkey. Best Regards, Yagiz - City of SultansTrip date: February 2024 - DJDaryl· January 9th, 2025The timings of the flights and tours were impeccable, we have enjoyed our tour thoroughly, our guide in Istanbul was a knowledge house. The hotel in Istanbul (Recital Hotel) was located very close to the tour sites and also very clean, the breakfast was great. For dinner, there are a lot of places to eat nearby in Istanbul, so you can take your pick. The hotel in Cappadocia (Zula Cave House) is a historical rock building converted into a hotel so it was a different experience, the staff was very helpful and always had a smile on their faces, the breakfast was okay. The hotel in Cappadocia is also located close to many restaurants, so you can enjoy the local food. Overall, it was worth it to go through with this adventure, thanks to City of Sultans for helping us organize everything.Show moreCity of Sultans commented on this reviewThank you very much for the kind words, Daryl, It was a great pleasure serving you here in Turkey.

- FOFujiko· May 16th, 2024Visiting historical places should be more than spending a lot of time for introducing souvenir shops in Istanbul even I enjoyed visiting the Turkish carpet display place. The tour guide in Istanbul was good, every knowledgeable. Not enough time spent for the interesting places in Cappadocia. The hotel in Cappadocia (Cave Hotel) was not the one you confirmed to me. It was not ideal hotel for elder people as the transport vehicle could not come in front of the entrance. I had to drag the suitcases on unpaved road to the entrance of the hotel.Show moreCity of Sultans commented on this reviewHello Fujiko, Thank you very much for your feedback.

Richard
Asked on April 30th, 2025We are planning to book the tour from 28 June to 4 July. My concern will be that we want to fly back to Europe on the 4th July in the evening around 7 pm. What time you normally book the flight from Cappadocia to Istanbul? Do we have enough time to catch the 7 pm flight to Europe?
- City of SultansOperator•Written April 2025
We can definitely book you for a flight that will allow you to catch up to your flight at 7 PM. You may book now and get instant confirmation. After you complete your booking, I will get your flight tickets sorted out and sent your way provided that you provide your passport information while completing your booking.

Pat
Asked on April 14th, 2025I know international flights are not included, so how do I know what times to book for my international flights to and from Istanbul? I assume the international flight arrival time into Istanbul is not an issue, do I just tell you the flight arrival time and the transfer to the hotel is organised once this is confirmed? Then I don't know what time to book our flight out of Istanbul after arriving back from Cappadocia. Will you let me know what time the flight arrives at Istanbul from Cappadocia so I know when to book a flight back home straight after this?
- City of SultansOperator•Written April 2025
Certainly, the arrival time is up to you, simply let us know the flight information and we will greet you upon arrival. The return flight can also be arranged to suit your needs, kindly let me know your intended return flight and date before booking it and I will check if there will be a flight suitable that will allow you to catch up to your international flight.

Pat
Traveler•Written April 2025I was originally looking at a flight out of Istanbul at 14.45 (2.45pm) on Saturday 21st June. Would this be possible or is that too early?
- City of SultansOperator•Written April 2025
At the moment, a suitable flight is available. The flight I am looking at is Turkish Airlines - TK2011 - Arriving at Istanbul Airport at 10:25 AM. This would allow you 4 Hours and 20 Minutes to make it to your international flight, which is plenty. However, I'd like to inform you that the availabilities checked are momentary, and I can only guarantee this flight when you have completed your booking.
