Great Service

09-Jul-2020

My family and I travel a lot and I must say this is one of the most amazing trips we have ever taken. City of Sultans is a wonderful tour company. The guides were very friendly and courteous, helpful ,and extremely knowledgeable. Because we were going on a cruise that included some of the cities they had in their original tour plans, I spoke to their rep here in the states and the company modified and created an itinerary exclusively for us, according to our needs and desires. I would not hesitate to recommend City of Sultans. A trip to Turkey is a must! We would love to return and see some of the places we missed on our last trip. We hope to be able to do so in the future.

Best of Best !!

My son and I spent a week in Turkey and used City of Sultan's for the entire trip. The transfers were on time, helped us with our baggage, and could answer our questions. The hotels we stayed at, all arranged by City of Sultan's, were wonderful. They were clean, modern, and the meals were terrific. The best part of our tour was the guides we had they were all done by professionals who took pride in their jobs. They were well informed and did their best to make each day enjoyable. If I have the opportunity to return to Turkey City of Sultan's will be my first phone call.

We booked 6 nights and 7 days Turkey package with City of Sultans covering Istanbul and Cappadocia. It is one of the best trip which I had till now due to the way City of Sultans planned the trip. Had not faced a single issue on trip. Special thanks to Mr. Ozgur & Mr Aydin for planning it a best memorable trip. Also, they made it a very comfortable stay in Turkey. A big thanks to City of Sultans.
