    Generally the trip achieved all the programme apart from on incorrect tour which was refunded. The guides and transport all were on time. The guides were excellent. Hotels ranged from excellent to good. The included meals were good. This advertised as a small group tour so there was an expectation of touring with a common group of people. In fact it was a series of a dozen or so separate small group tours so there was never an opportunity to get to know fellow travellers, arrange dinners etc. For a single traveler that was disappointing.

    First I am very thankful for Ozgur. My first time in Turkey, we were very uncertain especially with Covid tests. However, Ozgur was very kind and helpful throughout the entire process. My daughter and I had such a wonderful time and made great memories. Everything went smoothly: the transportation, tours, hotels, etc. I hope to come back to Turkey with my husband someday. 夢だったトルコ旅行、Ozgur のサポートのおかげで安心してツアーに参加する事が出来、心から感謝しています。 ツアーガイドの皆様もとても良い人達ばかりで、本当に楽しい時間と素敵な思い出が出来ました。このツアーおすすめです。

    The tour was great. Loved the destinations. Felt very well supported by Ozgur from city of saltans. Highlights definitely Cappadocia Istanbul Pamukalle and Ephesus. Majority of day tour guides terrific. Disappointing that I was charged a substantial single supplement when I was on a customised tour where there was no hope of sharing?? I don’t get that? Paid a lot for the tour and the hotels in Istanbul and Antalya substandard and most hotels could have been more central. In particular istanbull too far away from main sites and almost inaccessible by car. Walking essential. There are far more central hotels close to restaurants etc tram and sites. I would recommend the tour. I had a great time but need to pin down some specifics with regards to accomodation with city of Saltans.

    All of our guides were well informed. Locations of hotels were great! Most of the hotels held up to 4 star status. I would reccomend not using Best Western Anatalya in this package. Overall, 4.5 for fantastic experiences in Turkey! Thank You for such a memorable trip.

      TravelerWritten March 2025

      What does partically guided mean? Do we travel from place to place in a bus or van?

    • City of SultansOperatorWritten March 2025

      There are no mandatory vaccinations as far as I am aware. As we are not experts when it comes to international travel requirements such as visas or other forms, I would not be able to give you credible information. You may refer to your local embassy website for detailed information. Regarding the balloon ride, the price would be 349 USD / Per Person for the high season. The price includes roundtrip transfers to the flight zone, 45-50 minute long balloon flight and a toast of champagne with appetizers after the flight.

Would like to know if its possible to have add-ons like Bosphorus cruise, hot air balloon and swirling dervishes on the list. If yes, how much would it cost.
