The Best Guided Tour of Turkey

25-Jul-2023

This trip was an amazing experience, well organized and very detailed to please the customers and see as much as possible. Ahmet is an amazing guide, he has a lot of history knowledge and he makes you have an amazing experience during your tour. We travel all over Turkey with him, and not only he makes sure you have the best experience but at the same time he goes above and beyond to provide the best accommodation for a person who has limited mobility, being sure always a wheelchair was available for me to enjoy the trip. He is an amazing guide and an incredible person. The tour company was best of best, and we all highly recommend ...more ...less

If you're traveling to Turkey and need a fabulous service, we'd recommend Cityofsultans! They are great!. Their guides speaks perfect English, friendly, very knowledgeable about the local sites (Hagie Sophia, Blue Mosque, etc), has his masters as a historian, made us feel safe and stayed with us throughout the day to help navigate the Grand Bazaar and shopping. Their guides also recommended a delicious place for lunch. Thank you very much! ...more ...less
