      Cassandra

      Traveler•Written May 2026

      Could my luggage (1 suitcase) be held in the hotel while I do the tour?

    • City of SultansOperator•Written May 2026

      Certainly, we can arrange for your stay before your tour.

      The price would be 160 USD / Per Night in a Single Room.

      The price includes breakfast and all taxes.

      You would be able to hold the luggage at the hotel while you are out on tour, but you would have to get back to the hotel and grab your luggage on the final day after the tour ends.

    Flights / Transfers
    Price / Availability
    • City of SultansOperator•Written April 2026

      There would be an additional charge of 390 USD / Per Person to add the flights in the booking.

    • G

      Glenn

      Traveler•Written April 2026

      That is very expensive for the flight. That's like $540 Australian dollar. Can you please provide the details of flight and times of departure so I can see how much it will be if I book them myself.

    • City of SultansOperator•Written April 2026

      06:00 (Turkish Airlines) or 06:30 AM (Pegasus Airlines) flight to Kayseri Airport from Istanbul Airport or Sabiha Gokcen Airport respectively.

      17:55 PM (Pegasus Airlines) or 20:30 PM (SunExpress Airlines) flight to Izmir Airport from Kayseri Airport.

      21:15 PM flight to Istanbul Airport from Denizli Airport (Turkish Airlines).

    • G

      Glenn

      Traveler•Written April 2026

      my concern is if the timing are not the same how we are going to get transferred from airport to our tour team.

    • City of SultansOperator•Written April 2026

      If you wish, you may book the exact flights you mentioned on your end, which will be 100% fine :)

      We will arrange the transfers in line with your flight bookings once you have confirmed that you have booked these exact flights.

    • City of SultansOperator•Written April 2026

      For domestic flights, travellers arriving at different times may be picked up together free of charge if their arrival times are not too far apart, however, a seperate transfer fee may apply if their arrival times differ greatly.

      I would suggest they book the same domestic flights in order to ensure that they stay together.

    • City of SultansOperator•Written April 2026

      Definitely, if the flights are booked as stated, transfers are included in domestic flights :)

      The not-included part was for international arrival flights into Turkey :)

    • G

      Glenn

      Traveler•Written April 2026

      can you please confirm on the first day of tour when they do arrive in Cappadocia they will have someone picking them up from the airport and there will be a tour guide showing them around since in the description as per below it mentions "the day is yours to spend exploring". Obviously my parents are old and they do expect for the tour bus to take them around in visiting the places.
      Also please confirm someone will drive them to airport to fly to Izmir on day 2 and same on day 4 someone will drive them to Denizli Airport to fly back to Istanbul.

    • City of SultansOperator•Written April 2026

      This is definitely confirmed, they will be picked up on Day 1, 2 and 4 and brought to the airport.

      Also, all of the mentioned tours on the itinerary will be guided, so no worries there :)

    Chris

    Asked on September 15th, 2025

    What time would be the flight on the first day- how early? Flight from cappadocia to izmir on day 2- what time does the tour end, and what time is the flight? Around what time do we normally get back to istanbul? This tour only provides 3 nights of hotel correct? So if we arrive in instanbul on the 27th and begin tour on dec 28th, then we have to get our own hotel on the 27th? And when we get back on the 31st, we have to get our own hotel on the 31st if we have our flight on the 1st, right?

    Accommodation
    Flights / Transfers
    • City of SultansOperator•Written September 2025

      The timing would be very early (flight around 5-6 AM) For day 1. For day 2, the flight to Izmir would be at around 9-10 PM, and the tour ends at around 4-5 PM. Your arrival time to Istanbul would be at between 8 - 10 PM from Denizli airport. That is definitely correct, the tour ends with your flight back to Istanbul on Day 4, and you would need a hotel back in Istanbul.
