          Baris the Great
          From 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...

          Combination tour which we enjoyed
          Having 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.

          Come back to Turkey is a must
          The 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.

          Fantastic experience
          Amazing 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.

          THE best day
          Esra was our wonderful tour guide and what an amazing day we had. She is so knowledgeable…has so many stories to share…we went to the front of the line at every stop no waiting at all. Plus having a small group was the absolute best. I couldn’t imagine being in one of the large groups. We were able to customize our trip to suit us and her suggestions for our future travels in Turkey were extremely helpful. Zero worries about being back to the ship in time. I usually don’t write reviews but man she knocked it out of the park. I am a travel agent and will share her info for anyone wanting to tour Turkey

          Exceptional experience with the City of Sultans
          I recently completed the “Exclusive Wonders of Turkey in 10 Days” small group tour with City of Sultans Tour Agency, and I couldn’t have been happier with my decision to choose them. After reaching out to multiple agencies, City of Sultans stood out for their clarity in communication, flexible itinerary, ability to accommodate hotel preferences, excellent recommendations, and very reasonable pricing. From the start, I was impressed with Mr. Ozgur, who handled all of my endless queries with prompt and detailed responses. His flexibility in adjusting our hotels to suit our needs was a major plus, and his attentiveness didn’t stop there. Throughout the entire trip, Mr. Ozgur checked in on us regularly, ensuring that everything was going smoothly. He coordinated flawlessly with local guides, kept us informed about itinerary updates, and made sure we were well taken care of. Whether it was late at night or early in the morning, he was always available, offering peace of mind that we were in good hands. The tour itself was fantastic, with well-curated stops, comfortable hotels, and great attention to our vegetarian food requirements. The local guides were knowledgeable, and the vehicles provided throughout the tour made our journey both smooth and comfortable. At every stage, we felt warmly welcomed and completely at ease. I would highly recommend City of Sultans to anyone looking to tour Türkiye. Their professional service, personal touch, and commitment to making your trip memorable are truly commendable. If you’re seeking an exceptional travel experience in Türkiye, look no further!

          Amazing experience exploring Türkiye with City of Sultans!
          Amazing experience exploring Türkiye with City of Sultans. Ozgur and his team created a perfect itinerary, handling all logistics from transportations, various hotels, many tours in different cities and even domestic plane tickets for a very affordable price. Ozgur was available 24/7 and promptly responded to any questions months before our tour even started. All tour guides were friendly and knowledgable and gave us a front row, VIP experience in the attractions. Starting in Istanbul we had detailed tour of Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque, Grand bazar, Bosphorus cruise, basilica cistern and other sites. After a Turkish airlines flight to Kapadokyia we participated in an unforgettable hot air balloon ride and stayed at a cave hotel. Our tour guide Hakkan was amazing and with our group for two full days.In Antalya we saw beautiful waterfalls with Cem. In Kusadasi Pamukkale was an unforgettable site. We had private 3 hr transport to Ephesus ruins which are well preserved roman ruins and Orgun gave us a great and indepth tour. All hotels and transport were very nice and arranged to our preferences. Accommodations were promptly made when some members of our group could not participate in a certain excursion in an itinerary or we had to change an itinerary last minute. I have taken guided tours in various countries , but this tour with City of Sultans was truly the most personalized,most in depth and affordable experience of all. Thank you Ozgur and City of Sultans for a memorable experience.
