      Mike

      TravelerWritten March 2026

      Is it safe to travel to Turkey given the ongoing war in the Middle East?

    • City of SultansOperatorWritten March 2026

      Turkey is operating completely normally and tourism activities are continuing as planned. The areas visited on this trip are far from the regions affected by the conflict in the Middle East, and daily life here continues as usual. All tours and travel operations are running smoothly without disruptions. Turkey is a very large country geographically, and the destinations included in the itinerary are well outside any areas of concern. We are welcoming travelers from all over the world and conducting tours normally.

    • M

      Mike

      TravelerWritten March 2026

      If we book a summer trip and due to safety issues, we would have to cancel it, would we get the price refunded?

    • City of SultansOperatorWritten March 2026

      If a booking is made and Turkey remains safe and all tour operations continue as planned, then any cancellation would be subject to the standard cancellation terms at the time of cancellation. However, if there were an official safety situation that prevented the tour from operating, then of course alternative solutions or refunds would be reviewed accordingly.

    Accommodation
    Price / Availability
    • City of SultansOperatorWritten February 2026

      We use the Legacy Ottoman Hotel in Istanbul and the Temenni Evi Cave Suites in Cappadocia. (we book our other, similar 5* alternatives should the hotels not be available)

      The price to upgrade would be 770 US$ / Total in a Single Room.

    Margaret

    Asked on February 20th, 2026

      Margaret

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      If i choose the domestic flight option add on, what would the flight times be going and coming back from Cappadocia. I would like to know the time i will arrive in Istanbul so i know what time to get a return flight back to the UK.

    • M

      Margaret

      TravelerWritten February 2026

      Can you arrange other activities during the free time before i arrive rather than wait until i get there? For example, i have seen walking/hiking activties in Cappadocia around Love Valley.

    • City of SultansOperatorWritten February 2026

      The Hot Air Balloon Ride would be an option for Day 5 or Day 6, we usually recommend booking for Day 5 as you will have a chance to retry for Day 6 if it is cancelled due to adverse weather that way.

    • City of SultansOperatorWritten February 2026

      Regarding your arrival flight, you would be arriving in Istanbul at 12:25 PM on Day 7.

    • City of SultansOperatorWritten February 2026

      Regarding the other activities, we do not book these activities as an agency, but your guide in Cappadocia can certainly help you book for those too.

    • City of SultansOperatorWritten February 2026

      We work with Arte Cave Hotel in Cappadocia, which is where you would be staying at.

    Elizabeth

    Asked on February 18th, 2026

    Would it be possible for the return flight to Istanbul be changed to Athens? Also, do you have a tour like this in Greece.

    Flights / Transfers
    • City of SultansOperatorWritten February 2026

      Unfortunately, we are unable to issue international tickets on your behalf.

      We could give you a discount on the final day's flight if you book with the domestic flight tickets option and you would like to arrange for an international flight to Greece directly from Kayseri or Nevsehir airports.

      Also, we are only a local tour operator in Turkey, so we do not have any tours in Greece.

  • D

    Debra

    Asked on February 17th, 2026

    Are the tours of Hagia Sophia, Blue Mosque and Topkapi Palace inside the buildings or only seen for outside?

    Tour Details
    • City of SultansOperatorWritten February 2026

      They are entered, but the entrance fees for Hagia Sophia and Topkapi Palace are excluded and can be paid on the spot to the tour guide.

      Topkapi Palace: 60 EUR / Per Person.

      Hagia Sophia: 30 EUR / Per Person

      These are the current prices and may be changed at the time of your visit if the administration increases the prices.

      If you require a Spanish Tour, the price might be as much as 2x the regular group tour price since it would be arranged privately for you.
