Written on April 13th, 2026To be honest i didnt like it. The price was not worth it by the things you experience but everything have extra cost.City of Sultans commented on this review
Dear Elisa, Thank you for your feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the experience did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to clarify that entrance fees to the sites visited during the tour are clearly stated as not included in the tour price on the tour page and within the booking details provided prior to confirmation. This structure is standard for many tours and is designed to offer flexibility to travelers who may prefer not to enter certain sites or may already have access through alternative passes. We understand that additional expenses during travel can be frustrating, but in this case, the costs mentioned were communicated in advance. That said, we do appreciate your feedback and will continue to review how we present this information to ensure it is as clear as possible. Kind regards, Yagiz - LG

Written on April 11th, 2026This review for City of Sultans 12 Days Grand Turkey Tour. My review is based on the dates March 29, 2026 through April 9, 2026. The tour did not add up to a 5…Read moreCity of Sultans commented on this review
Dear Larry, Thank you for taking the time to share such a detailed review of your experience. We truly value all feedback, especially when it highlights areas where we can improve. First and foremost, we sincerely regret that your tour did not meet your expectations. This is certainly not the standard of experience we aim to deliver. Regarding your stay in Istanbul, we are very sorry to hear about the issues you encountered at Legacy Ottoman Hotel. While we had been informed that prior concerns had been addressed, it is clear that your experience did not reflect this, and for that we apologize. We also regret the inconvenience caused by the issue with the in-room safe and the delay in resolving it. Your comments about the breakfast quality have been noted and will be shared directly with the hotel management for immediate review. We are pleased that the change to Hotel Amira for your final night provided some improvement, though we understand this does not fully make up for the earlier experience. With respect to the Istanbul tour, we understand your disappointment regarding Topkapi Palace. At times, our guides may suggest adjustments due to factors such as long queues or partial closures in order to make the best use of the day; however, we agree that such decisions should always be clearly communicated and aligned with guest expectations. Regarding the shopping stops, we sincerely apologize if these felt excessive or were not properly communicated in advance. While brief visits to local artisan workshops are included to showcase traditional crafts, they are intended to be optional and not detract from the overall experience. Your feedback is extremely valuable here, and we will be reviewing both the frequency and how these stops are presented to our guests. In Cappadocia, we regret the confusion and dissatisfaction regarding the hotel arrangements. Occasionally, operational constraints may require us to use alternative accommodations; however, these should always be of a comparable standard. It is clear that this was not your perception, and we apologize for any inconvenience caused. We are glad that we were able to improve your accommodation for the remaining nights, though we understand the initial experience left a negative impression. Please rest assured that your comments have been taken seriously and will be shared internally with our operations team and partners to ensure improvements are made. We genuinely appreciate your feedback and regret that we fell short of delivering the 5-star experience you expected. We hope there may be an opportunity to restore your confidence in us in the future. Kind regards, City of Sultans Team
