Best way to learn so much in one day - I had one day to see Konya and this tour was an excellent overview of the rich history of the area, the life of Rumi, and the vibrant bazaar area that is still thriving. Fatma is a top-tier guide with years of experience as a guide and a teacher.

Great trip - The guide knew about Konya and shared much of his experiences of living there. It was a 9 hour trip so he talked and shared a lot. Very informative. Thanks!

Highly recommend if you want to learn about Mevlana Rumi and Konya - Mete Horzum and Selene Travel do an excellent job and I highly recommend scheduling a tour with them if you plan to visit the blessed city of Konya. We did the “Highlights of Konya” tour. Because we have small children and due to unforeseen travel issues, we had to make last minute adjustments to our tour, but Mete and his team were extremely accommodating. We also made special requests as needed to accommodate our schedule. Selene Travel tour guides have a long history with the city of Konya and have an incredible amount of knowledge of Mevlana Rumi. If you gave an interest in learning about Mevlana Rumi and the history of Konya, Selene Travel will not disappoint. Also, some tips for tourists who are also visiting Istanbul during your travels to Türkiye — I would recommend shopping in Konya instead. Konya has some incredible shops run by local artisans. Also, general shopping for clothing, gifts, etc. is much better priced in Konya. Selene Travel can provide some recommendations if needed.

⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️ amazing experience - Absolutely amazing and knowledgeable experience, both advisors provided us in a extremely comforting and knowledgeable tour. I highly recommend for anyone ranging from singles, couples, or family’s.

Outstanding Guide in Konya - Fatima is an outstanding guide with her deep knowledge of Konya and we enjoyed the visit to the Mevlana Museum and the tiles museum including a fascinating walk through Konya bazaar. We have no hesitation in recommending Fatima to future travelers.

Great guide - I had a very nice tour with very good guide. Explored the city in short time. We visit also Sille city.

Unforgettable time! - Highly recommended! The tour operator is responsible, professional, I went for hours to Konya and they picked me up at the airport and had taken me to a lot of interesting places. Fatma, our guide, was very kind, attentive and has a great Knowledge from Konya and Rumi. She explained us the story of Konya, the most important periods of its history. We are very happy and we recommend 100% Thank you very much!

Wonderful Introduction to Konya and Its History - A long, long time ago, I majored in Near Eastern studies, so I am familiar with Arabic, Persian, and Turkish, as well as with Turkish history. Perhaps because it's still early in the "season" (7 May), it was a 2-person walking tour, so it was very personalized. Our guide, Fatima, was knowledgeable, filled in some gaps in my knowledge, and most importantly, improvised the tour based on my interests and questions. Perhaps the highlight was the tomb of Rumi's mentor, Şems-i Tebrîzî. I am neither religious, nor a Sufi, but this a very useful tour, well worth the cost for 2 people. Selene Travel is run by Mete Horzum, who is a real, live Mevlevi dervish. We didn't get to meet Mete, but he was very helpful in the days leading up to our tour. The weather forecast was iffy, and he reassured me that the forecast for 7 May was pretty good. It was; we had only a few minutes of showers during a 7-hour walking tour. Excellent value. Exploring on our own would not have been nearly as productive.

A Graceful journey - I am so grateful for choosing this tour. My father and I were blown away with Fatima’s knowledge and class. We learned so much listening to her tell us about the different landmarks and sites and she was so personable and gracious answering our every questio. The tour made this trip to Konya unforgettable. Thank you Fatima!! Soliman thanks you!!
