During the tour, we delved into some historic facts of Konya's Seljuk period and retraced the footsteps of Rumi. Hüseyin was a knowledgable and experienced guide, providing us with insightful commentary every step of the way. Despite the challenges of Ramadan, we didn't miss out on experiencing the local culinary delights, the flavorful Furun kebab. While one day barely scratches the surface of Konya's rich history, having Hüseyin as the guide laid a foundation for further exploration. I'm grateful for his expertise and guidance!

We had a fantastic tour with Selene travel. Our guide Fatma provided information about this particular Sufi order that even I as a student of Sufism did not know. It was a wonderful tour to get a first-hand experience about the life of Mevlana. In addition, the tour company arranged for us to see an authentic Sema ceremony. This was the highlight of the tour for me. Thank you SELENE travel.

If you are looking for an inner trip, then this tour is definitely for you. Fatma not only shows you the story of Rumi and Konya, she also guides you in the philosophy of Sufism and Islam as it is practiced in Turkey, with a deep insight on the country's past. With passion and dedication you will be introduced into one of the most beautiful stories of History. You will learn a lot about the city, and about yourself.

I can really really recommend this tour to anybody interested in Islamic mysticism a.k.a. Sufism! At first I was a bit skeptical as I am normally not the person doing guided tours, but rather visit things on my own. However, in this case my experience was completely different: The guide Fatma was very kind and well informed and did not hesitate to delve deep into specific topics related to the spots we were visiting. The mix between walking to different spots such as the tomb of Shams, the Aladdin mosque or the Mevlana museum, and visiting places such as Konevi‘s tomb by bus was chilling and practical. I even had the chance to have a profound talk with a Mevlevi Sufi and sit inside a small retreat chamber (traditionally used by Sufis for 40 days retreats) and hence experience Sufism not only theoretically, but also „in action“. No matter if you visit these places in Konya on your own: This tour definitely complements your encounter with Konya‘s Sufism and should be on your bucket list when going there.
