- JKJames Winston· April 18th, 2025This 10-day tour was an incredible way to explore Turkey’s rich history, stunning landscapes, and vibrant culture. Everything was well-organized—from airport transfers to daily tours—and the itinerary struck a perfect balance between iconic sites and hidden gems. Highlights included walking through the ancient city of Ephesus, soaking in Pamukkale’s thermal terraces, exploring Antalya’s coast and waterfalls, and witnessing the magic of Cappadocia’s fairy chimneys and underground cities. Each destination was brought to life by knowledgeable, friendly guides. The accommodations were clean and comfortable (especially the cave hotel in Cappadocia!), and the included meals gave us a great taste of Turkish cuisine. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting to see the best of Turkey without the stress of planning. A seamless, enriching experience from start to finish!Show moreCity of Sultans commented on this reviewThank you very much for the beautiful review, James.

- Namrta· August 20th, 2024Had a great experience touring with TourRadar! The guide was excellent in explaining the landmarks in English and the groups were small which was very helpful. Yagiz, one of the associates, was very responsive which I appreciated! If I were to go on another tour, I would research the hotels thoroughly / may be upgrade the hotels because some of them were very small to stay in. Overall a good experience and I would consider this company again.Show moreCity of Sultans commented on this reviewThank you very much for choosing our services.

- SBSarah· June 3rd, 2024The itinerary was packed with lots of places to see. Would have been great to have spent additional time in Kusadasi as it was a beautiful town! I have a few issues to bring up. First one is that when you initially book your tour you are not informed of the entry prices up front to the museums etc. This is misleading and only after you book are you provided with the amounts which add up quickly (the email letting me know the prices had been attached to my account went to my junk mail so never found out until after tour had started) Then you are expected to pay your tour guide in cash which we didn't have. I had to reach out to the tour company and ask to pay via credit card. When we were scheduled to fly out of Istanbul to Izmir the tour company did not check us in. We were dropped off at the airport with the other traveller's who had their seats assigned on our flight. We were told to speak to the airline service desk as we didn't have assigned seats. We were initially told we may not make it on the flight. We were extremely stressed and I reached out to the tour operator for assistance. By the time they got back to us we had been assigned seats at the very last minute. Not a pleasant experience. On our way back from Cappadocia to Istanbul I proceeded to check us into the airline ourselves as I didn't want a repeat of what happened earlier. Our tour guide Ali was not great. One incident occurred at a restaurant in Konya where we ate lumch at a restaurant. He explained to us what was on the menu and walked away. I ordered my meal and stepped out to take pictures. I was called back to the restaurant by my mother telling me Ali was annoyed I had left and that I needed to order something else off of the menu as what I had ordered was not an available option to us. When he returned to the restaurant I told him he should have communicated what was and was not available to order. He provided a lack lustre apology and said he didn't think I would order the one thing on the menu that was not an option. They should provide the option that if you see something else on the menu that is not included you can pay the difference. My friend wanted a salad at another restaurant and we only noticed it on the general public's menu not the menu we were provided. Finally at the end of our tour Ali barely said two words to the group. No formal good bye, no thank you for touring with him no safe travels. He seemed more concerned about getting a family to the bank machine so he could collect their cash. Before we knew it he was off the bus and down the street. We couldn't even find him to give him his tip.Show moreCity of Sultans commented on this reviewThank you very much for your valuable feedback.
