City Of Sultans,
Thank you for the wonderful tour you planned for us! My wife and I were worried about traveling so far from home with our one-year-old daughter, but thanks to your planning and flexibility we had a wonderful time. The hotel was in a prime location, close to everything, and our tour guide Eren was knowledgeable, pleasant and even helped us with our daughter Sophia!
I read these testimonials before we decided to choose City Of Sultans for our tour, and let me suggest to anyone else considering a trip to Turkey that this company is professional and excellent. In addition, the people of this fine country are warm and friendly, and Istanbul can certainly be described as a "magical" city.
Thank you for everything!

Merhaba!
(...) It was, indeed, a wonderful journey. This was the first time we had ever tried a guided trip, but now I know it is an excellent way to travel.You planned for us so well, and took care of all the difficult details so we could concentrate on the beauty, the rich cultural history, and the kind and friendly people of Turkey.
The success of our trip was due in great measure to Eren (our guide) and Evren (our driver). After ten days with them, we felt like they were part of our family.
Evren went out of his way to drive us to out-of-the-way places (the beach outside of Kusadasi was a nice treat for all of us). He holds a special place in my memory for his wonderful sense of humor and patience even when things didn\'t go perfectly.
Eren was so knowledgeable, especially about Istanbul and the sites along the Aegean coast. He worked hard to take care of us and assure that we were comfortable and happy. (...)
Eren was a conscientious guide and a sociable travel companion. And I believe he must know everybody in Istanbul! We all appreciated his ability to find excellent places to eat, no matter what time of day. The little restaurant overlooking the salt lake on the way to Egirdir, and the one overlooking the Mevlana at Konya stand out.
And once Eren left us, we were delighted with Ali, who was our guide in Capadoccia. Ali\'s excellent command of English, his enthusiasm and as his thorough understanding of the region brought to life the Open Air Museum at Goreme and the underground city.
Our accommodations worked well for the most part. We especially enjoyed the Acadia Hotel in Istanbul. Imagine arriving in the dark, falling into bed, and waking before dawn to hear, for the first time in our lives the exquisite, beautiful haunting call to prayer... from the Blue Mosque just outside our window!
We also enjoyed the El Vino in Bodrum, with its lovely garden, and the Cave Hotel in Capadoccia. At the Cave Hotel, though we had to check out long before our ride left for the airport, they let us sit on the balcony and play backgammon for hours.
(...) Altogether, it was one of the best trips I have ever taken, and a wonderful introduction to Turkey. I\'m already planning our next visit, though it will be a couple of years before we are able to do it.... I\'d love to see eastern Turkey; the National Museum in Ankara, and so much more...... Be assured that we will contact you when we are ready to make arrangements!
Again, many thanks!

We would recommend this company, with zero hesitation, to anybody planning a trip through Turkey. We had two glorious weeks touring the country, rich with history, beautiful landscapes, and most importantly with great hospitable people. City Of Sultans (COS) organized our whole trip. From Canada, it took us less than two days and a few email excanges for COS to develop an intinerary that met all our needs and was customized to our interests. Our rental car was new and comfortable, drove 2500 kms without a glitch. Every hotel we stayed at was absolutely perfect, COS managed to book boutique hotels in every city that were beautifully set, perfectly located, clean and comfortable. The memories of the gullet sailed blue voyage will stay with us for years. The professionalism of the boat's staff, the simple but great food, the clean cabins and totally compatible sailing companions made an already amazing sail through the beautiful mediterrenian even more impressive and memorable. We recommend COS, and escpecially Mr. Ozgur Ates wholeheartedly to anyone planning a hastle free and well organized trip to Turkey. 0zgur was attentive to our needs before the trip and checked in on us regularly by cell phone and email during the trip. He went the extra mile for us at every turn. We intend to use them for sure in the future.
