Christina· July 5th, 2023We had a wonderful trip with City of Sultans. Communication was fantastic via WhatsApp. Every evening we'd receive a message advising what our arrangements were for the next day. All transfers etc. were on-time and we had no issues at all. Thank you Yagiz and Ozgur for your wonderful organisation of our tour.Show more
City of Sultans commented on this reviewThank you very much for choosing our services. It was our great pleasure to serve you. We all hope to see you again in Turkey..Trip date: June 2023- VDValentin· May 14th, 2023We appreciated the excellent experience of our Turkey vacation. All appointments were delivered punctually, excellent hotel accommodations and knowledgeable travel guides. We would have preferred to have only one travel guide for the two days at Istanbul and Cappadocia instead of two. In this way accidental duplications could have been avoided. The flight from Istanbul to Cappadocia starting at 6:35am required an hotel pickup at 4am which was a challenge. Arriving in Cappadocia we had a 8 hour day tour and ended up to be extremely tired. In general, we appreciated art shows of carpet weaving, pottery and jewelry, however the carpet weaving show at Istanbul, twice in Cappadocia and Izmir seemed to be more than enough and to much of a sales pitch for our taste.Show moreCity of Sultans commented on this reviewThank you very much for choosing our services.

- WKWon· March 26th, 2021I had an amazing 9 day tour of Turkey with Ozgur and City of Sultans. From arrival to departure, everything was handled seamlessly. I am normally one to plan my own trips, but due to last minute changes I decided to try a tour company. I am so glad I did. I was able to explore three large regions of Turkey and have zero worries about arranging transportation, hotel, or tour guides. Ozgur took care of everything and was open to communication via whatsapp at anytime. If I had any issues, he was very quick to remedy it, and also helped me arrange covid-19 test prior to departure. I am so thankful for this company for allowing me to have a pleasant, once in a lifetime trip to Turkey. I cannot recommend this company more highlyShow moreCity of Sultans commented on this reviewThank you very much for choosing our services and for your review.

Deborah
Asked on April 17th, 2025Size of the tour is from 1 to 20 if it drops to the min of 1 will you still go and will the hotels remain the same? Will there be new guides in every city or one guide throughout the tour? Other than the balloon ride and Bosphorus cruise is there any other add ons? What is the cost for the Antalya/Waterfall tour? Are all entrance fees to museums and sites included?
City of SultansOperator•Written April 2025All of our tours are guaranteed to depart, regardless of group size. There are new guides in each city, as we want to make sure our guides are all experts in their specific locations. The package your are enquiring about does not have a visit to Antalya, so I would be unable to quote you for this on this package. The entrance fees to museums and sites are not included in the package.

Traveler•Written February 2025Is there any beaultiful city where we can book a Villa for 2 days with swimming pool without any tour booked for the days? I want 2 days to relax in a countryside town with good food.
- City of SultansOperator•Written February 2025
Çeşme (in Izmir) or Foça(Phokaia) (in İzmir) should be satisfactory for you. Please do take a look online! Please note, we do not provide private booking (or AirBnb) services so this would be booked on your own means.
