I had to organize a 2-day tour of Istanbul recently for a party of 11 seasoned travellers. Although I had been to Istanbul twice before in the 90s, the city had since changed a lot. I picked the City of Sultans to arrange our tour after reading the reviews in the TripAdvisor. Ozgur Ates of the City of Sultans was... More

Excellent private services in Istanbul & we appreciated ability to prepay. Our guide was able to get us through Topkapi Palace crowds and point out all features. Prices included transport and driver in comfortable sedan. Airport services also excellent. More

If you booked each part of this tour separately, you might match the price, but you would miss the added perks from City of Sultans: well-connected and friendly tour guides who live in Istanbul and know it well, the ability to skip right over long lines at popular attractions, and excellent drivers to greet you at the airport and see...

I was traveling by myself, and am so glad, that I was with City of Sultans, to get me to the most amazing & historic spots in the city! Eren, the most amazing tour guide you could ever hope for, whisked our group through all the lines of other people waiting, and got us right into every building. His english... More

As seasoned travelers, my wife and I were a little hesitant to book a trip through a company (we usually plan trips ourselves). But as we this was our first experience traveling with our 11 month old daughter, we figured it would make our lives a little easier to have a private tour & guide. After a little web searching,...

City of Sultans is a great choice for a single woman traveling to a foreign country for the first time. Eren Bolek, our tour guide was very professional and gave me many advises about the city. His English was superb and he was very accommodating and patient. Istanbul was such an exotic country for me and the tour was everything... More

.This company (a division of MTI travel) is good for independent travel because you can feel secure that you can always contact Ozgur who will respond very quickly to any request or problem. But we had no problem on our very small group tour around Turkey via air travel. Based on the last review, we would have been lucky to... More
