Thanks to you and City of Sultans for making our stay in Istanbul exceptionally pleasant and memorable.

Dear Ozgur,

Thanks to you and City of Sultans for making our stay in Istanbul exceptionally pleasant and memorable.

Your 800 phone number answered by a 'real 'person who replied promptly to my requests and suggestions made trip planning easy. You customized our trip beautifully. I especially appreciated your professionalism, prompt business like correspondence and care in meeting out needs.

The airport pickup was prompt and effortless as was the drive to the city with a pleasant young man pointing out the sights of interest.

You found us a superb hotel - small, in a pedestrian only area near Taksim Square, reasonably priced, clean, neat with a bountiful breakfast.

Your Mercedes van was comfortable and clean. Our guide, Eren, was charming, spoke excellent English and was very knowledgeable. We had an excellent Turkish lunch with at least 5 courses! You even provided a wheelchair for me as I have walking difficulties.

I highly recommend City of Sultans and have already referred several friends.

Be well,

Joan Oakley

Our first day in Istanbul was quite a memorable experience

Ozgur,

Our first day in Istanbul was quite a memorable experience. Eren was our guide and will be a hard act to follow. We really appreciated his vast knowledge of the historical sites. Topkapi Palace, The Blue Mosque, The Hagia Sofia were stunning. Our lunch was delicious and the atmosphere so charming. Eren was also very helpful with my mother, who uses a walker. Also, our driver was very professional and courteous. Thank you for a wonderful day.

Without your services we would have been as blind people

Dear Ozgur,

Now that we are home and getting over our jet lag, thank you so much for the tours you provided in Istanbul and Ephesus. Burhan was smashing, a terrific guide and very knowledgeable. He was kind and a "real" person. Serdar in Ephesus was also well versed and another good representative. Without your services we would have been as blind people. We would never have seen the true brilliance of both Istanbul and Ephesus.

I am giving your company's name as a referral to a colleague at work.

Thank you again and may life be good to you.

I would reccomend City of Sultans and we all would love to come back to Turkey.

Dear Ozgur ATES

We had a wonderful time in Turkey! Our guides were great. On our full day tour our guide arranged a lunch we all really enjoyed. Both guides were informative, gracious and very nice. I would reccomend City of Sultans and we all would love to come back to Turkey. Thank you for making our trip to your country so enjoyable! I will post a great review on the internet.

Sincerely,

Whenever we decide to go back to Turkey, we'll definitely use your services again

Dear Mr. Ates

Our experience with City of Sultans tours was excellent!!! We were in Istanbul for 2 days, and our guide, Eren, was wonderful! We all loved him! He related really well not only with the adults, but was so good with the kids. We also learned so much from him. He knew to dose the information he gave us so not to overwhelm us, was so very helpful with our shopping wishes, took us to a great restaurant for lunch, and was so caring and attentive with me since I was feeling sick to my stomach. We would not have had the same wonderful experience of Istanbul is it were not for Eren. Wish we could have taken him with us to all the other ports of call we had.

In Ephesus, our guide was also very knowledgeable and nice. We learned a lot from him, as well.

Whenever we decide to go back to Turkey, we'll definitely use your services again

Best Regards,

Licia

We will definitely refer you to many of our friends and family

Dear Ozgur,

We echo the many testimonials from your clients on your website... That is, we had a superb memorable time. The chauffeur Suleyman was always so pleasant and made it a point that we always arrived to our destination safely and promptly. We were also impressed by his driving skills in the traffic-filled Istanbul and how he still managed to keep everyone alive, :-)

Our guides Eren (Istanbul), Guler (Ephesus), Onur and Esin (Capadoccia) were impressively knowledgeable about the tour sites. Every time we were asked if we had questions, we replied with NONE as everything was explicated so well pre-during-post tours.

Most of the restaurants were an experience in itself. The ones in Ephesus and Cappadocia were unique. That aside, the lunch on the 2nd day in Istanbul (close to Matis) was below mediocre. It was fast-food like in many ways.

The airport pick up and drop offs were impressive and smooth-sailing. That certainly alleviated any types of stress!

Elkepevi Cave Hotel was magnificent!!! No words to describe it but WOW! We highly recommend the two restaurants in the vicinit - Ziggy and Dimirt.

Everything was very positive... However, to improve on your client experiences , we also have to point up a tour discrepancy on the itinerary. In Cappadocia, it may have been that we ended up following he itinerary of our travelmates from India. The highlights on the 2nd day in Cappadocia didn't match the itinerary, therefore we missed a couple of what seems to be important highlights of the trip. My impression is that we didn't do the full SOUTH tour with Selime and Yaprakhisar Monastery. when we came back to Toronto, I looked up Selime and wished that it wasn't missed. At any rate, it's done and we came back with good memories of Cappadocia.

Many thanks for your consideration of our constructive feedback.

We will definitely refer you to many of our friends and family.

Best wishes.

Karen

We have been very happy with the services your company has provided.

Good day Ozgur,

Thank you for being a gentleman and honoring the price you had quoted us. We have been very happy with the services your company has provided. As Turkey has become a very popular vacation destination we have 9 more couples, friends and family, who will be visiting in the next 10 weeks. Everyone is waiting to hear about our experience and to know whether or not we would recommend City of Sultans. These people, like us, want the privacy, service and the flexibility of a private tour. We are leaving very happy, with very positive feelings and feel confident recommending you to many others now and for many years into the future. Also, you should know that Mr. Bolek and our driver were superb; extremely professional, knowledgeable and accommodating.

Many thanks for helping to make our trip to Turkey so enjoyable,

Testimonial by Steve & Lisa Terrinoni

Me and my wife had the pleasure of spending the day with Mamett on July 21st, where he showed us the sights of Kusadasi. It was a spectacular day, where we felt that we were escorted by a professional. His passion and knowledge of Kusadasi made this such a memorable day. It was amazing how much we saw in just 8 hours and also not to forget the great lunch we had at the restaurant in Sirince Village.

Our time in Kusadasi could not have been spent any better!!!

Thank You

We were so pleased with our tour of Turkey

We were so pleased with our tour of Turkey. I have already recommended you to friends who are planning a visit to Turkey in the near future.


The driver in Istanbul was such a gentleman and always on time to drive us to our locations. In fact, all of the driving arrangements were fantastic.


Although we had already experienced a little of Istanbul prior to the tour, seeing Istanbul through the eyes of our tour guide, Aran (sorry if I have misspelled the name), made it all the more special. He went out of his way to treat us to food and insights most tourists would have missed. His knowledge of the sites we visited was fantastic and his passion for the Hagia Sophia was such a delight to experience. He was also very kind in helping us to solve a small problem we had encountered. This was well above our expectations as a tour guide, we are most grateful.


I don't think we can say enough positive things about our guide for Ephesus. His name was also Ozgur. When it was time to say goodbye at the end of the day, I felt as if we were leaving a very close friend behind. Ozgur's love and knowledge of this magnificent site cannot be captured in videos or books. He made Ephesus come alive for us during a most memorable day.


Last but not least, the tour of the islands with Celal Turnali on his beautiful boat "BARANTA" along with his crew Miha and Jehan was spectacular. The hospitality, care and food was outstanding. We started as tourists but quickly developed into "friends". I would highly recommend them for those travellers seeking a real feel for Turkey and its people.


Wishing you all the very best and look forward to a return trip to your magnificent country and the warmth of the Turkish people.


Regards


Cathie

Our experience with the City of Sultans tour package was excellent

Our experience with the City of Sultans tour package was excellent! We booked a 7 day tour to Istanbul, Izmir/Ephesus, Miletus, Didyma, Priene, Pamukkale, and Cappadocia. The guides at each location were great. The transportation was always on time, both at the airports and at the hotels, and the guides were well prepared. Everything ran very smoothly, which we all really appreciated. The guides were knowledgeable, and they all tried to ensure that we could see what we wanted to see in the way that we wanted. Two of the people on our tour took a lot of pictures, and the guides patiently waited for them and showed them the best places to take photographs. I truly felt that they all wanted us to have the best experience possible.

I would absolutely recommend the City of Sultans to my friends, and if I tour Turkey again, I would use them again!

Thanks for a great time!

Testimonial from Amy Luxner

Ozgur,

How are you?! Just a quick note to send you a few pics and let you know that I had an unforgettable experience during my trip to Turkey and Egypt over the past couple of weeks! I think I mentioned to you that Istanbul is now my favorite city in the world!

All of the guides were knowledgeable and helpful, especially since I was traveling by myself. Most notable:

1) The adorable driver (I'm embarrassed because I don't remember his name, but he was a retired teacher) who took me to a Billetix outlet in the suburbs to pick up my Sonisphere/Metallica ticket, and the guide Tamer, who helped me get it. They were wonderful!! I am probably a little bit more adventurous than your average tourist, and neither one thought I was weird when I asked to be dropped off at the nearest tram/metro stop, to find my way back to Sultanahment on my own.

2) Eron, who is basically Mr. Popularity in Istanbul, knew everyone, and his passion for his job was obvious. He was helpful to me when I bought a couple of carpets. (Pics attached! They are cute! I would appreciate it if you could pass along to him!)

3) The guide in Ephesus, Yellis, was such a sweetheart, her English was great, and her knowledge of the area was wonderful.

4) The guide in Kapydokya, Omur, was very friendly and his command of the English language was OUTSTANDING. Please pass along my thanks to him!

5) Thank you for changing my hotel to Taksim area for the Sonisphere concert. It was a great location, and although I really liked the Mina Hotel and walked over to Galata Tower from there on a couple of occasions, I liked being close to all of the "action" of Taksim.

6) Things also went smoothly in Egypt, although I was disappointed that my hotel, although very nice, was located in Hieropolis, 45 minutes (in no traffic!) from the city center in Cairo. As I mentioned before, I am a little bit more adventurous that your average tourist, and I wasn't able to walk to any sites or even take the metro to any place on my own, which I often prefer to do. (I would rather walk or take public transport vs. taking a cab.) HOWEVER, I stayed at that hotel for only one night and then they changed me to a hotel in the center of Cario, which was perfect, if not a little TOO fancy-schmancy for my simple tastes!

7) My guide in Luxor, Adel, was an ENCYCLOPEDIA, or let's say a WIKIPEDIA, of knowledge about all things Egypt! I was shocked that after Arabic, the language he spoke best was Italian, not English, because his fluency was remarkable.

Thanks again, Ozgur, to you and your team for organizing a wonderful trip for me!! I wish I would have had the pleasure to meet you in person! Come to visit when you are in the US! I live in Washington, DC, literally 8 blocks from all of the museums and monuments at the Smithsonian Institution! I can be YOUR guide!

All best,

Amy Luxner

I got in touch with City of Sultans

I got in touch with City of Sultans when my husband and two more friends decided to visit Turkey. I grew up in Turkey and I kew there is so much to see in the short time period we had. City of Sultans representatives were responsive to all our questions and concerns. They customized the itinerary based on our feedback. The tour guides and the shuttles were always on time during the trip and we did not have any unpleasant suprises.

For the first time visitors, I would recommend doing your own research to most effectively use your time in Turkey. The things to do and see are so diverse that a standard itinerary may not cover the things you really want to see. The agents at COS were very helpful customizing the itinerary based on your needs. However, once the itinerary is final, it is hard for the agents to change it due to insurance constraints.

One observation I had was that the tour guides suggest taking the group to vendors that is not on the itinerary. Unless you are in Turkey to shop for carpets or souvenires or learn how they are produced traditionally, let your tour guide know that you prefer to visit a site or take a rest. Once the tour guides know what you prefer, they are very helpful.

I would certainly recommend COS to all my friends!

Testimonial from Brian Michelson

Dear Ozgur,

We had a wonderful time on our two tours in Turkey. Both Erkan and Selda were wonderful and knowledgeable guides and we learned a great deal from them both. We appreciated that you came out in person to apologize for the misunderstanding regarding the time in Istanbul. I greatly appreciated how prompt you were in responding to e-mails and questions during the planning of our trip. Your reliability made the planning much easier and gave me great confidence.

We have already recommended you to my wife's parents who are will be visiting Turkey on a cruise in October. I am sure you will hear from them soon.

All the best,

Brian Michelson
