David· May 24th, 2025Generally 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.Show more

- MWMasako· January 2nd, 2023First 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。Show moreCity of Sultans commented on this reviewThank you very much for choosing our services.

- Adrienne· December 15th, 2022The 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.Show moreCity of Sultans commented on this reviewThank you very much for choosing our services.

Gillian
Traveler•Written March 2025What does partically guided mean? Do we travel from place to place in a bus or van?
- City of SultansOperator•Written 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.

Catherine
Asked on March 15th, 2025Which is the most convenient day of the week for me to be in Istanbul in order to be able to see St-Sophia basilica, the Blue Mosque and the Bazar open. 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.
- City of SultansOperator•Written March 2025
Everyday except for Friday and Sunday should be good, as there are the prayers on Friday and the Grand Bazaar is closed on Sunday. It is possible to have the Bosphorus Cruise and the Balloon Ride added on, the prices are as below: The Bosphorus Cruise: 65 USD / Per Person. The Hot Air Balloon Ride: 349 USD / Per Person.
