    This tour City of Sultans and Cappadocia was fantastic. I was completely happy of the tour. The land rock/cave formations, the cave hotel, the underground citi, and the hot air ballon were the high lights of this tour. It was a wonderful and happy experience. I liked the tour so much I would not hesitate to do again if I have the chance to do it. I whole hearted recommend City od Sultans and Cappadocia to any one who wants to tour Turkey.

    Visiting historical places should be more than spending a lot of time for introducing souvenir shops in Istanbul even I enjoyed visiting the Turkish carpet display place. The tour guide in Istanbul was good, every knowledgeable. Not enough time spent for the interesting places in Cappadocia. The hotel in Cappadocia (Cave Hotel) was not the one you confirmed to me. It was not ideal hotel for elder people as the transport vehicle could not come in front of the entrance. I had to drag the suitcases on unpaved road to the entrance of the hotel.

    The best part of the tour was the organization, and Cappadocia did not disappoint! Each driver and tour guide was on time, even early in most cases. They were very polite and made me feel safer as a lone traveling woman.

    Booking, follow through, organization and communication were all excellent. Mr Ozgur Ates was great help and made everything possible. He maintained communication with us on a daily basis and keep us informed of what was coming. He was key at planning and making sure everything was seamless. The tour itself was great. We visited the landmarks of Istanbul. I feel the guides in Istanbul could have been better. First day Sunday we had the grand bazaar planned but it was closed. In substitution we were taken to a carpet shop which I had no interest whatsoever in going. The tour guide left the group there without giving instructions in how to get back to the hotel. We are seasoned travelers and had no problems going back but I know of a couple that didn’t know how to get back and our guide was pretty dismissive of them. The day concluded earlier than planned as nobody in our group wanted to buy carpets. We ended up visiting the Bazaar on our own and I was glad as that was a highlight in Istanbul. The second day we had planned the Spice Market but the day started pretty late and we had but 20 minutes for the market. Upon entering the guide took us to shop number 7 which was his election pressing us to buy from that shop. I didn’t care for that and felt rushed and short changed on the day. Another couple complained about it and wanted to return but were told that there was no time. In my opinion, that should be corrected and the traveler should get what was promised. We could have started earlier. Bosphorus cruise was nice and get to see all landmarks from the river. WC was filthy. Cappadocia was perfect. Our guide Rose was professional, knowledgeable and fun. She explained everything in detail and engaged the group in active exchanges and fun quizzes. She was adaptable to our needs always checking we were happy, rested and hydrated. She made short brakes to accommodate teenagers with their different needs and adults at the same time. She taught us a lot about history, culture and religion past and present. I will endorse her without hesitation if you can request her as your guide. In general I had a wonderful time and got to check off the Hot air balloon from my bucket list. Well worth the price we paid and guided by professionals. I felt very safe and taken care off. I will come back, there is so much to see and experience that I feel I barely scratched the surface of a beautiful country and lovely friendly people. Thank you City of Sultans for making it possible.
