About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Stay802870 contributionsBaris Rhymes With Paris!Baris was amazing! His passion for his city and its deep historical significance were immediately evident. He promptly met us in the designated location and clearly communicated what to expect for the day. The Blue Mosque was definitely the highlight of our day. The bazaar, the hippodrome cistern, and Hagia Sophia were all connected by the context our tour guide provided. He connected us to some amazing street food, leather goods and Turkish rugs; all authentic. Especially the people. Baris was rich. Definitely hit him up!Written March 11, 2025
- RekhaB80 contributionsTour with AtaVery knowledgeable guide. Loved visiting Ephesus. Extremely grand place and ATA explains things very well and is very patient. Highly recommendedWritten March 11, 2025
- N7457XXdianav0 contributionsThe Great Ephesus TourThis tour is definitely a must go see before it’s too late to fully appreciate the natural beauty and history. Our tour guide Efe and his sidekick driver who’s name I forgot worked well together to bring a great experience. The tour guide was extremely knowledgeable with all the information about this tour and also about the country and would highly recommend the two for your Ephesus tour.Written March 1, 2025
- 906gerir0 contributionsEphusesUnbelievable scenery/ruins. Great tour guide with good information & very helpful. The terrace houses were worth the extra time and were great exercise - they are serious about terraces! Wished for hiking poles on the way down.Written February 27, 2025
- annetteburstein0 contributionsWonderful tour!The tour guide was very informative and the information provided was very well presented. We enjoyed the tour even in the cold rainy weather conditions.Written February 27, 2025
- 961blaised0 contributionsGreat day at Ephesus tour!Ugur is a excellent guide with an outgoing personality and vast knowledge of the sites that we saw (Ephesus and Virgin Mary). He is knowledgeable of all things Turkish and extremely approachable, made us feel quite at ease. Highly recommend him!!Written February 27, 2025

- Anilahq0 contributionsTransfer services Istanbul AirportCity of Sultans provided a transfer service to and from Istanbul Airport to our hotel in Sultanahmet. The service was professional, efficient and on time. Driver and rep were well informed very lovely. Highly recommend transfer services from this company.Written December 12, 2024
- unvalerie0 contributionsBest experience in Turkey with City of SultansI couldn’t be happier with my decision to book a 6-day tour of Cappadocia, Antalya, Pamukkale, and Ephesus through City of Sultans. Ozgur, the general manager, was incredibly organized and responsive, promptly addressing all my questions and ensuring I had everything I needed well in advance. He provided daily reminders for pick-up times and coordinated all the details seamlessly, including well-chosen hotel accommodations. The entire experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend Ozgur and City of Sultans to anyone planning a trip to TurkeyWritten November 9, 2024
- SuzanneFA0 contributionsBaris the GreatFrom the very start Baris had our small group hooked...taking us travelling through time from Nova Roma, constantinople to Istanbul, modern day Turkey as we toured the stadium, Blue Mosque and Haga Sofia. He answered all my teenage son's many questions (history nerd) with respect and intelligence. We could not have had a kinder more thoughtful guide. He even made recommendations afterwards for restaurants etc...Written October 30, 2024
- Explore360129687840 contributionsCombination tour which we enjoyedHaving been on two previous tours, I expected this one to be similar, where you start and end with the same tour guide and other guests. This was not the case as we had four guides and got to meet a range of people from all over the world. Overall the tour was well organised and the guides were knowledgeable and friendly. We enjoyed the fact we didn’t spend more than 3 hours in the mini-bus as the flights cut down the travelling time. The hotels were centrally located and decent quality. Our only criticisms were the lack of detail in the itinerary and number of activities on each day. Some activities were changed, e.g. the cable car ride in Antalya was changed for a boat ride, and other activities were added without notice, e.g. visit to pottery, silver, stone and Turkish delight factories. We had hoped there would be at least one more activity on each day, as the tour seemed to finish too early on some days. We advise that you have the tour organiser’s WhatsApp contact, to receive boarding passes, confirm your morning pick up times and ask any questions about the tour.Written October 22, 2024
- lramirez06160 contributionsCome back to Turkey is a mustThe tour was amazing as well as Ozgur, the organizer, he was always available for all our questions and to ensure daily activities and pick ups. We had different tour guides but they all were great, always punctual and informative, our drivers, though some didn’t speak fluent English they used their phone translator, this was only on airport transfers.Written October 12, 2024
- bennylumsdon0 contributionsFantastic experienceAmazing Tour, Ozgur was a brilliant host and organised everything to precise details and professionalism. He was available 24 hours a day by whatsup and answered all my questions no matter what I asked. The tour ran amazingly smoothly and was an incredible tour of Istanbul and Cappadocia, would highly recommend to anyone thinking about doing this tour. I would use Ozgur and the City of Sultans team again with no hesitation. Thank you Ozgur.Written October 11, 2024
- F312JGsteveg0 contributionsBook Esra as your guide!!Our guide was Esra, she was fantastic! Light years ahead of your average tour - the culture, the people, the ancient ruins, the coffee!! Esra gave us a day to never forget! We will be back!!!Written October 4, 2024

Baris was amazing and very knowledgeable about all the places we visited today. He was patient and so informative. His sparkling smile lit up the room at Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque and the Topkapi palace. He is a sure fire winner and top of his class.

Baris did a great job for our tour. Very easy to understand and explained the history clearly. Two thumbs up! I would recommend this tour. Just be aware that it does require the purchase of entry tickets to a couple places.
