    The itinerary was top notch, the guides on the sites were very helpful, especially Baris in Istanbul was a knowledge-house! Many thanks to Emin who helped us throughout our tour with City Of Sultans, my daughter and I have enjoyed each second of it. Will definitely recommend the tour to my friends and relatives.

    Tour was great. Touring companies were excellent. I got ripped off by tour radar on the balloon flight. Where people paid $110 i paid $495. I have the reciept to prove it. I will never use tour radar again. But I repeat touring companies were awesome. I will recommend anyone coming to Turkey to get in touch with city of sultan directly.

    The accommodations were adequate. The tours were a bit disappointing in that there was a lot of up-selling i.e. ceramics and carpets. We were aware that we would need to pay entry fees for some of the sites, but the costs were more than we anticipated. It would have been good to know about extended periods of bus travel times, eg. 6 hours on the bus return to Pamukkale from Kusadasi. The aggressive carpet selling was not what we had expected. We did enjoy Kusadasi and Cappadocia.

    City of Suktans was amazing with arranging out tour of Turkey. They were very responsive and very easy to deal with. One of the hotels was not upto standard and they were able to address that issue and provide us with a better hotel in an hour. Will recommend to others for their Turkey tour needs.

    Some excellent guides- including Halime Zehra who was a freelancer and especially Mustafa Mert. We had some excellent food at breakfasts and lunches. However some organisation was not as good as expected. A transfer to Cappadocia from Istanbul that left before breakfast was available was annoying as breakfast was a main meal of the day and we only got bread and coffee. And the transfer from Cappacocia to Izmir that did not leave until 10.30pm and did not have us at our accomodation in Kusadasi until 4.30 am ( a 2 hour flight delay was only part of the problem). We did not appreciate having nothing planned for our 3rd day in Cappadocia and having to pay for an extra tour as there was not much else to do in the isolated town where we were staying of Ugrup. The accomodation was all fine and we learnt so much. The 3 destinations of Istanbul, Cappadocia and Kusadasi were great

    This tour was well organised by the City of Sultans. We managed to visit most of the famous sites in each destination. The local guides were generally good and helpful. We were also put up into different types of accommodation such as cave hotel and waterfront hotel in Kusadasi. The other part of the tour was the extra free luggage allowance which allowed us to fly without any worry. This is importantly for international travellers. Thank you Yagiz and Ozgur for the excellent support in this tour.

    The itinerary was good and well paced for the time available. The guides were fantastic, except for one who was rubbish but certainly seems to be the rare exception. The hotels chosen were conveniently located, nothing fancy but comfortable which was great. The overall organization was well done with extremely responsive and friendly operators. Big thanks to Ozgur and Yağiz for taking such good care of me!
