Great experience - I took the 5 Day Istanbul & Cappadocia Tour with City of Sultans in March 2023 and I highly recommend them. Everything was taken care of and well organised from the moment I arrived until the moment I departed. Ozgur was my point of contact and he provided an excellent service, answering all my queries, providing information and details well in advance, and was easily contactable if ever i needed to, he provided an outstanding service. I would absolutely recommend City of Sultans.

Wowza!! - We hired the City of Sultans to design a customized post-wedding trip for a group of 35 Americans. The company came highly recommended by a friend. The trip was impeccable. Özgür is amazing with communication and understood that we were planning the trip 8 hours behind Turkish time. He worked with us to design the perfect "choose your own adventure" trip for our group. There was something for everyone. He also understood that some people want to be on the go the entire time that they travel and others want to have breaks and nap time. The guide who was assigned to us, Ali was not just a guide. Within a short time, he truly became a friend. We laughed together, he taught us about the history of Turkey and he kept the group on time. The drivers of the buses accomplished some amazing feats, driving over streep terrain. The activities themselves were a blast. It was nice to have everything taken care of, the trip was planned without a hitch so all we had to do was enjoy it. The entire group is already planning our return to Turkey and there is no question who the tour company would be or who we want as our tour guide. Our trip was truly magical and we all made friends for life. Thank you City of Sultans for providing such wonderful service and a trip of a lifetime!
