  This tour was a fantastic way to explore some of Turkey’s most iconic and breathtaking locations without the stress of planning. From day one, everything was thoughtfully arranged, including airport pickups, domestic flights, and daily tours. Each destination had something special to offer. Istanbul’s history was captivating, Cappadocia felt like stepping onto another planet with the hot air balloon ride being a major highlight, and exploring Ephesus and Pamukkale was like walking through living history and natural beauty. The itinerary was well-paced, giving us enough time to enjoy each site without feeling rushed. The accommodations were clean, comfortable, and well-situated, with the cave hotel in Cappadocia adding a truly unique touch. Our guides were friendly, knowledgeable, and made sure we felt well taken care of throughout the trip. If you're looking to see the best of Turkey with ease and comfort, this tour is an excellent choice.

  This 8-day Discover Turkey Tour was the perfect way to experience the country’s rich history, stunning natural beauty, and warm hospitality in a short time. Everything was incredibly well-organized—flights, transfers, hotels, and daily tours ran like clockwork. The itinerary took us from the iconic sights of Istanbul—like the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, and Grand Bazaar—to the surreal landscapes of Cappadocia, including a magical hot air balloon ride. The underground cities and valleys were fascinating to explore with our knowledgeable guide. We then headed to the Aegean region to explore the ancient ruins of Ephesus and the peaceful House of Virgin Mary, ending with the dreamlike white terraces of Pamukkale. Each stop was unique and memorable, offering a perfect balance of history, culture, and nature. Accommodation was comfortable (especially the cave hotel in Cappadocia!), and the tour guides were friendly, engaging, and professional throughout. The optional balloon flight was a definite highlight and well worth it. Highly recommend this tour for anyone wanting a seamless, immersive introduction to Turkey!

  We booked the 4-day Istanbul package with City of Sultans before starting a longer tour, and it was the perfect introduction to Turkey! The itinerary was well-paced and included all the must-see highlights—Hagia Sophia, the Blue Mosque, Topkapi Palace, the Grand Bazaar, and more. Our guide was excellent—friendly, knowledgeable, and full of fascinating historical insights that brought the city to life. The included airport transfers and hotel stay made everything incredibly easy, especially after a long flight. There was just the right amount of free time to explore local cafés, walk along the Bosphorus, and soak in the vibrant atmosphere. A great balance of structure and flexibility! This tour was a fantastic way to get a deep feel for Istanbul in a short time. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to make the most of a few days in the city!
