- Pamela· August 6th, 2023City of Sultans organized all the details perfectly. Day tours, hotel stays, ground transportation were all managed with precision. Best of all I had 24/7 contact with City of Sultan by WhatsApp from before I landed in Istanbul for the 12 day tour. As a solo traveler whose Turkish is limited to a few words and phrases that was a comfort. I highly recommend this tour operator to anyone wishing to travel.Show moreCity of Sultans commented on this reviewThank you very much for choosing our services.
