Best experience in Turkey with City of Sultans
I couldn’t be happier with my decision to book a 6-day tour of Cappadocia, Antalya, Pamukkale, and Ephesus through City of Sultans. Ozgur, the general manager, was incredibly organized and responsive, promptly addressing all my questions and ensuring I had everything I needed well in advance. He provided daily reminders for pick-up times and coordinated all the details seamlessly, including well-chosen hotel accommodations. The entire experience was smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. I highly recommend Ozgur and City of Sultans to anyone planning a trip to Turkey

Cappadocia & Pamukkale
Istanbul- old city. Before booking ur htl, research the area. Htl may be located on a narrow street on top of a hill. Which means you will have to do a a lot of walking up hills. Cappadocia 2nts- Luva Cave Hotel. This is a great 2* boutique hotel for ppl that want to experience a "cave like" room. Breakfast is amazing! Walking distance to downtown (shops & restaurants). No A/C!. Distance from airport about 40min drive. I would recommend it. Felt safe Cappadocia tours were great. Lots of walking will be required. Kasudasi 2nts- Efe Boutique hotel. This is a 3* hotel in an excellent location. Clean & safe. Walking distance to shops, atm, and restaurants. Transfers where on time and professional. Tours... "Cleopatra pool" is overrated and crowded. Shopping... I'd you are going to shop do it in Cappadocia and not on your way to Pamukkale (expensive!). Locals... Travelers beware!! the turks will try at any given point to scam ppl out of money. Do not give cash without getting a receipt! Read your receipts before paying! Do not pay in advance! I recommend for foreigners to book their tours in advance before arriving to the country. Local operator was great. I had 24hrs whatsapp communication with City of Sultan Tour Co. I recommend the package.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much for choosing our services. It was our great pleasure to serve you.. We all hope to see you again in Turkey with a longer trip..

Best of City of Sultan tours
Wonderful tour with City of Sultan group of professional tour guides. Pickup and drop off to airports several times for internal and international flights were all super punctual. Small group tour is the most efficient way to visit most sights and see the best highlights. Great time in Cappadocia with guide Deniz. We had a really good Turkish lunch, other highlights was the hot air baloon views, cave hotel and underground city cave visits. Ephesus is a must visit! Had a good tour with guide Reza here. The carpet, leather and many other shopping opportunities were really interesting too. 😉 Thank you all for your hospitality!

Awesome 5 days !!
All tour guides were professional we had Dennis in Cappadocia, Funda in Pamukale and Riza in Ephesus. I took a 5 day package it was awesome very busy schedule. My only complaint the hotel in Cappadocia is very far from the city and for breakfast it’s not on site they took us to another hotel for breakfast.

Awesome experience
We had a great experienced from day 1 to the last day... staff were professionals and on time. Special mention to Ozgur... he called and touched bases with us on 3rd day of the tour if we are doing ok and treated properly. Riza and Huseyn from Pamukkale tour were exceptional!!! Riza is knowledgeable and picked the best restaurants for our meals even during pandemic times. Huseyn.. the driver made sure that we are home safely in 2 days with him.This tour company is highly recommended and never had any bad experiences with them but mostly great and memorable turkey trips. I don’t regret choosing this company.

Why this scores 64
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
5-Day Best of Cappadocia, Pamukkale and Ephesus: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.
How much does 5-Day Best of Cappadocia, Pamukkale and Ephesus cost?
+
Prices start at $319 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Istanbul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does 5-Day Best of Cappadocia, Pamukkale and Ephesus take?
+
Plan for about 120 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Istanbul is not rushed.
Is 5-Day Best of Cappadocia, Pamukkale and Ephesus worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 64 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 6 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule 5-Day Best of Cappadocia, Pamukkale and Ephesus?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is 5-Day Best of Cappadocia, Pamukkale and Ephesus suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 120-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book 5-Day Best of Cappadocia, Pamukkale and Ephesus?
+
Around 2 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Istanbul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Istanbul and add a light layer if any part of the 120-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does 5-Day Best of Cappadocia, Pamukkale and Ephesus start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Istanbul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Istanbul?
+
On Outty we rank every Istanbul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour, Istanbul Luxury Bosphorus Yacht Cruise with Asian Side Stop, ISTANBUL BEST: Iconic Landmarks Full Day PRIVATE Guided City Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Istanbul?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Istanbul?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
