    Can you confirm if the flights will include checked in baggage and the weight? Can you provide more information on the hot air balloon activity, does this include transport to and from the activity? Other sites are around the $300/$200 AUD price so I would like to enquire why its $500+ through this booking and if there is anything more that I may be missing.

    does your 3 day tour depart Istanbul early on August 4/25 and return late on August 7/25?

    Flights / Transfers
    Tour Details
    • City of SultansOperatorWritten April 2025

      The tour will depart early, but the return time can be tailored according to your needs as long as flight availability is present. Do you have a return flight planned out already? If so, can you kindly let me know the departure time of your flight so that I may check if there will be a flight that will allow you to catch up to your international flight?

    • M

      Martin

      TravelerWritten April 2025

      we have decided your August 4 to 7 tour to Cappadocia might be a better choice. We arrive Istanbul on August 3 and depart on August 8. This means that we are going to need an istanbul hotel room or one night before and after the tour.

    • City of SultansOperatorWritten April 2025

      Certainly, please find the current hotel prices for the month of August below: Double Room: 155 USD / Per Night. The price above includes breakfast and all taxes. If you require transfers to the hotel upon arrival on August 3rd, and also on the 7th of August after the tour, kindly find the price for that below as well. Arrival Transfer: 120 USD / Per Transfer (Including greeting service upon arrival). Should you require a transfer to the airport on the 8th of August for your international flight, the price for that is as below. Departure Transfer: 100 USD (Driver only).

    Asked on February 19th, 2025

    I will be travelling alone from India. How do i reach the hotel from Istanbul airport. do you have a pick-up? Will it be charged extra? Can i do hot air balloon and the tour in capadocchia on day 2? What time will the flight reach Istanbul airport when we return after the tour ends? I would like to travel in May. Since I am a solo traveller is the rate cheaper or the same?

    • City of SultansOperatorWritten February 2025

      The tour you are enquiring about does not have any included accommodation in Istanbul, so there would be no pick-up services provided. The hot air balloon is certainly possible to do on day 2, it costs 349 USD / per person at the moment. You will be reaching Istanbul between 8-10 PM on the final day.
