    Our 7-day tour of Istanbul and Cappadocia was an unforgettable experience! The journey started in Istanbul, where we explored the stunning Hagia Sophia, the vibrant Grand Bazaar, and the magnificent Topkapi Palace. Each day was filled with fascinating history, incredible architecture, and delicious food. The highlight of Istanbul was a boat ride along the Bosphorus, offering breathtaking views of the city’s skyline. Afterward, we traveled to Cappadocia, where the landscape felt almost otherworldly. The hot air balloon ride at sunrise over the fairy chimneys was absolutely magical, and the cave dwellings and ancient rock formations were truly unique. Our guides were knowledgeable and made the trip even more enjoyable with insightful stories and tips. Overall, the tour was well-organized, with plenty of time to explore each destination at a relaxed pace. Highly recommended for anyone looking to experience the rich culture and natural beauty of Turkey in one trip! Special thanks to Ozgur and Yagiz from City of Sultans for all of their assistance in enabling this beautiful trip!

    The timings of the flights and tours were impeccable, we have enjoyed our tour thoroughly, our guide in Istanbul was a knowledge house. The hotel in Istanbul (Recital Hotel) was located very close to the tour sites and also very clean, the breakfast was great. For dinner, there are a lot of places to eat nearby in Istanbul, so you can take your pick. The hotel in Cappadocia (Zula Cave House) is a historical rock building converted into a hotel so it was a different experience, the staff was very helpful and always had a smile on their faces, the breakfast was okay. The hotel in Cappadocia is also located close to many restaurants, so you can enjoy the local food. Overall, it was worth it to go through with this adventure, thanks to City of Sultans for helping us organize everything.

    This tour City of Sultans and Cappadocia was fantastic. I was completely happy of the tour. The land rock/cave formations, the cave hotel, the underground citi, and the hot air ballon were the high lights of this tour. It was a wonderful and happy experience. I liked the tour so much I would not hesitate to do again if I have the chance to do it. I whole hearted recommend City od Sultans and Cappadocia to any one who wants to tour Turkey.

    Visiting historical places should be more than spending a lot of time for introducing souvenir shops in Istanbul even I enjoyed visiting the Turkish carpet display place. The tour guide in Istanbul was good, every knowledgeable. Not enough time spent for the interesting places in Cappadocia. The hotel in Cappadocia (Cave Hotel) was not the one you confirmed to me. It was not ideal hotel for elder people as the transport vehicle could not come in front of the entrance. I had to drag the suitcases on unpaved road to the entrance of the hotel.

    The best part of the tour was the organization, and Cappadocia did not disappoint! Each driver and tour guide was on time, even early in most cases. They were very polite and made me feel safer as a lone traveling woman.
