- JSJune· March 22nd, 2025First time visit to Turkiye and we loved it. Communication was excellent from tourradar who organised the contract tour operators. The itinerary allowed us free time to explore on our own and then time with an organised tour. Hotel in Istanbul was a 4 star hotel inside the ancient district - suited us, close to all the sitesShow more

Asked on May 7th, 2025On the last day May 25 what time does the plane arrive back to Istanbul. Because we have a 2pm flight we have to make on the same day from Istanbul to Los Angeles USA
City of SultansOperator•Written May 2025We could book you for a flight that would land at Istanbul at 10:25 AM, which would give you 3 Hours and 35 Minutes to make it to your flight.

Frances
Traveler•Written May 2025Ok. So after I join this tour do I demand a message to arrange the 10:25 am flight?

Asked on July 13th, 2023Do you know about what time the flights depart from both Istanbul and Cappadocia? I am traveling after I leave Turkey and my travel agent is wondering what time I will arrive in Istanbul from Cappadocia to see if I need to stay another night there or can I just wait at the airport until my next flight to Rome. About how many people will be in a group in October on average?
- City of SultansOperator•Written July 2023
After booking, regardless of cancellation date, the minimum cancellation penalty is 10%. October is mid-season, so we expect the groups to be medium sized.

Tina
Traveler•Written July 2023Could you give me an idea what time the tour ends on the last day, because if it's too late in the day, I may end up still needing to spend one night in Istanbul before flying to Rome. Just an estimate time, please. Also, you mentioned Oct. is still mid season so groups will be medium sized. About how many people is a medium sized group?
- City of SultansOperator•Written July 2023
The tour ends at around 18:00. The groups are made up of a maximum of 16 people.
