The best in Konya - We first met Mete from Selene in Konya nearly 20 years ago. Since that time he and his lovely team have consistently provided our family and friends with excellent, exclusive experiences in Konya. From airport transfers to behind-the-scenes private sufi tours to visits to the region beyond Konya, Selene deserve their reputation as Konya's Number 1 for the international visitor. Recommend wholeheartedly. Kevin and family

A Deeply Meaningful Tour of Konya - Hayri was a truly wonderful guide: warm, insightful, and deeply connected to the spirit of Konya. The day was thoughtful, personalized, and rich with both historical and spiritual depth. His deep knowledge and kind presence brought each place to life in a way that was grounded and inspiring. I’m deeply grateful and highly recommend this tour.

Highly recommended Konya Tour - This was a great tour. The guide was extremely informative and very professional. The communication from time of reservation all the way to the end was superb. We had a great day, learned a lot and enjoyed a wonderful lunch as well. Highly recommend this tour.

Hayri my tour guide was great! - After a week and a half in Turkey and my best friend leaving on the same day I was scheduled to leave for Konya, I wanted to go home. Home being the United States. I even checked to see if I could change my flight hoping it would be a $200 fee but apparently with the ticket I purchased I couldn’t make changes and I would have to buy a one way ticket costing over $900USD. Well I decided to continue with my journey and headed to Konya via Turkish Airlines. The flight was wonderful. I booked a private tour since it was just me and I wanted to have the flexibility to staying longer in one place if I wanted to or skipping things if I felt it wasn’t important to me. The driver was on time. He was a little quiet but then he said we were going to pick up the tour guide. When we did he introduced himself. After sometime we were dropped off to the first location. It wasn’t somewhere I was familiar with but it was interesting and I learned a lot. The main reason for going to Konya was for Rumi so my anticipation was overtaken but I decided to slow down and take in everything the guide had to say. His name is Hayri. What a wonderful person! His explanation was detailed and you can tell he is passionate about what he does. He’s patient and I felt like he was a friend I knew for a while because the comfort level was there. I mentioned to Hayri that I did not visit the grand market in Istanbul because it seemed very commercialized. He took me to a REAL market. I was so extremely happy. I purchased henna since I dye my hair with henna I get from Amazon, then coffee, rolling pin, Turkish coffee cup and Turkish tea cups, I even almost bought a sets of gold but I tilt them let me think about it and I will come back. I well I was talking forever ib the market that I had to be reminded I needed to head to Rumi’s tomb since I had to catch a flight back ans had to be at the airport for 2 ha ha. I was so happy I did not buy the gold. It was approximately $3000 USD IMPULSE buy. Rumi’s mausoleum was amazing. It’s an experience, one that you cannot explain. It’s like going to the Taj Mahal. It’s something you cannot explain except you have to go to understand the spiritual feeling. It’s calm and breath taking. Hayri made sure and explained everything before going inside since we had to be quiet. That I appreciated very much. It helped when I went in and understood who Rumi’s blood family were. Even while there Hayri quietly whispered information to me so I understood everything. I asked him if he could give me 1/2 so I could stay inside and I will cut my lunch or another tour. He said not a problem. Many people were sitting on the floor. After taking my pictures without the flash, I sat there and took in that I was at the resting place of this great man!! Words I have been reading for years. Words cannot describe how happy I was. After I came out; which was 5 minute before my scheduled time to neet Hayri, we had lunch and then said goodbyes. I wished him the very best and I hope to keep in touch with him. At the end of the day Hayri wasn’t just a tour guide but I felt he was a new friend. If I ever visit Konya, I will definitely meet with him. He’s excellent at what he does, he’s kind and patient and since it’s a private tour, he works with you to make minor changes to the tour. I encourage anyone to book this wonderful tour with Hayri. Don’t forget this tour includes pick up and drop off to and from the airport. Huge plus!!!!

One of my best trip in my life - This trip is one of my dreams in my life, thanks to Selene Travel as the operator who helped me make it happen. I never felt alone in Konya they treated me as a long-time friend. They were very caring from the beginning of my arrival from the late flight schedule they were able to adjust it. Especially to Mr. Hayri who has guided me from one place to another, explaining with great patience. I am really impressed. Thank you.
