    · November 15th, 2024
    I loved the tour and places visited except for one hotel I was stationed, tge Sula Cave Hotel. I felt isolated as it was far from the town proper and the surroundings was dirty with. The room was excellent. I'm glad that City of Sultan moved me tge following day. The guides were great and helpful. I wasn't too thrilled with the mandatory factory tours of Turkish rugs, potter's and jewels but I guess, that's helpful to their industries. The rides and pick-up were always timely. Not much time for souvenir shopping though. Overall, Turkey was awesome. Would recommend City of Sultans to anyone.

    Hannah

    Asked on January 26th, 2025

    1) Hot Air Balloon Ride: does this include a hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia? If not, can it be added? When in the tour itinerary do we have time to go on the hot air balloon ride? 2) Istanbul - At the end of the tour, can we extend our time in Istanbul and get a ride to the airport a few days later? How much is it for extra days of hotel if we fly back on August 4, 2025? We are a family of 5 (2 adults and 3 kids ages 17, 14 and 14 years old). 3) Pammukle - Does this tour include a chance to go into the pools? Wad in the pools?

    Tour Details
    • City of SultansOperatorWritten January 2025

      The hot air balloon ride is not included in the package, but it can be added on at a cost of 349 USD per person. You would be doing it on Day 6 of your tour. Regarding the extra nights in Istanbul, this is also possible but I would need to know the room types you require. There will be time to go into the pools while in Pamukkale. There is a fee but is paid locally to the administration, it is dynamic and your guide will help you with that too.

  • S

    Stuart

    Asked on January 20th, 2025

    Do you recommend any specific places to see hot air balloons in Cappadocia?

    Tour Details
    • City of SultansOperatorWritten January 2025

      The Goreme area is known for its stunning views of hot air balloons. Hotels there have rooftop views.

    Bianca

    Asked on January 15th, 2025

    Is it a group tour-I mean same group for all 9 days? Can we get Vegetarian meals on tours? Is it possible that we will be our family only in small vehicle if no one else join the tour? What about Dinner? Do we need to go ourselves to find restaurants or Tour Vehicle will drop us as Dinners are not included in tour?

    • City of SultansOperatorWritten January 2025

      Vegetarian meals can certainly be arranged for, simply let your guide know during the tour. It is entirely possible that you will be with your family only during the tour, but not guaranteed. Dinners are, as you stated, not included in the package, so you would have to find restaurants on your own, however, there are many options to choose from!

      TravelerWritten January 2025

      Please confirm if all entrance and admission fees to all monumnets included and all tour charges included. There is no hidden charges. Also saw your ballon ride as USD 349 per person whereas My Friends did directly in Cappadocia at USD 70-110 per person. Why so much difference? Also Hotels-where we stay-have vegetarian Food options in their Menu? We may be too tired to go outside for food once back from Tour.

    • City of SultansOperatorWritten January 2025

      The entrance fees are not included in any of our packages. The price for the Hot Air Balloon Ride on TourRadar is set as a fixed price for the highest possible price for all seasons, the actual pricing is done depending on the season and availability received from suppliers. The hotels serve an open buffet breakfast, so you will be able to pick and choose from the served food. Not all hotels we use offer lunch/dinner services.
