    This 8-day tour with City of Sultans was one of the best travel experiences I’ve ever had. From the moment we arrived in Istanbul, everything was perfectly organized. Each destination including Istanbul, Cappadocia, Ephesus, Kusadasi, and Pamukkale had its own unique charm, and the itinerary was thoughtfully planned with a great mix of guided exploration and free time. Our guides were knowledgeable, friendly, and brought the history of each location to life. Visiting iconic sites like Hagia Sophia, the underground cities of Cappadocia, and the ancient city of Ephesus was unforgettable. Accommodations were clean and comfortable, and all transfers and domestic flights were smooth and on schedule. City of Sultans provided excellent support throughout the trip, making the whole experience seamless and stress free. I highly recommend this tour to anyone wanting to discover the beauty and history of Turkey with confidence and ease.

    Laurie

    Asked on October 30th, 2024

    Do you pick up from Wyndham Istanbul Esenyurt Hotel? I've read on some sites that the luggage allowance is 15kgs. As I'm coming from overseas, my suitcase will be around 20-23kgs + my carry on. How do I go about this? For my return back to a hotel in Istanbul, can it be a different hotel? I'd like to stay in the centre of town after this trip. Also, what time would we roughly get back into Istanbul? Is there an option to do the hot air balloon ride and how much is this?

    • City of SultansOperatorWritten October 2024

      The hotel you mentioned is very very far from the city center and out of the insurance zone, so we would not be able to provide a pick-up from there. You would be able to purchase additional luggage online after you have booked and your tickets have been purchased. Since the package you are enquiring about ends with the flight back to Istanbul. There would be no transfer back to the hotel upon arrival, this can, however, be added on at a fee of 120 USD - Including greeting service upon arrival. You would be back at Istanbul in the evening, between 8 - 10 PM. The hot air balloon ride can certainly be added on, it costs 349 USD at the moment.

    Can you arrange pickup at the airport? Also can we select flight to the same airport at the end of tour?

    Flights / Transfers
    • City of SultansOperatorWritten May 2024

      We can arrange for a pick-up at a cost upon arrival, as the package does not include an arrival transfer. The Price would be 120 USD - Including greeting service upon arrival. You would be arriving back at IST (New Airport) by default unless requested otherwise.

      What is the pick up time for this tour? We plan to stay in a hotel near the airport, is this okay?

    • City of SultansOperatorWritten May 2024

      Pick up time would be in the early morning, but also depends on the location of your hotel.

      Is this hotel okay? This hotel is 11km from Istanbul airport. What will be the approximate pickup time from this hotel?

    • City of SultansOperatorWritten May 2024

      We are only able to provide pick-up from hotels located in Taksim and Sultanahmet. We would be unable to provide pick-up from the hotel you stated.
