Overview

Konya is the record book of the secrets. All the secrets of religion, meditation ,philosophy ,thinking are hidden in this city. Everyone must come to the steps of Konya because the epistles of universal peace are buried here. Sufism is the way of the heart ,the way of the pureness,the inner mystical path of Islam. It is the path which takes the seeker to the divine presence. The Sufi surrenders to God, in love, over and over. Each person is a unique representative of the divine. The Sufis say ''If human beings knew their own inner secrets ,never would they look elsewhere for seeking happiness ,peace ,and inner light.''
We invite you on a journey to your inner world ,where enlightenment may come from this tolerance ocean..

After a last-minute decision on Sunday, I scheduled the tour for my parents for the next day. As soon as I booked the tour, Mete Horzum gave me a call to give me instructions. Since my parents were in Ankara, we couldn't buy train or bus tickets online to travel to Konya because of the language barrier. I got updates on my parents from the guy who took care of everything for us. He did a great job and my parents were satisfied. I very much appreciate his excellent service! We highly recommend you take this tour!

This tour was amazing, We went as a couple and enjoyed every bit of it . It was organised very well, due to this tour we could get most of konya sufism details just in one day. Hussain was extremely helpful and kind. He explained everything in detail and made us comfortable during the whole trip. The driver and owner of this tour was amazing as well. Was easy to contact them and pickup and drop was on time from airport. Everyone should visit the tombs of Mevlana and Shams Tabirizi atleast once to experience the peace and blessings.

My partner and I did this private Rumi tour in July 2023. Our tour guide was Hussain. We absolutely loved the whole day and highly recommend this tour and our tour guide. Hussain is extremely knowledgeable about the history of Konya, Rumi, and Sufism. We visited the important Rumi landmarks in the area and Hussain was also able to customize the day based on our interests. We are huge fans of the book "40 Rules of Love" which explores the journey of Shams of Tabriz & Rumi... so it was incredible to witness the real life version of it all. Given our keen interest in Sufism, Hussain also introduced us to a local Sufi master and we had the joy of having a long conversation with this teacher and ask him questions to our hearts content. For any spiritual practicioner or mystic, this was priceless. The places that are picked in the tour are brilliant, the restaurants are awesome, the tour guide is amazing and so is the driver, Issa! It was an incredibly satisfying day. We are so grateful to have met Hussain and learned more about the history of the area from him. Overall it was an 11/10 experience for us. This tour was THE highlight of our entire Turkey trip (because we're such huge Sufi fans). We intend to come back to Konya after this experience! Thanks for creating an amazing day for us to deeply exprience, Rumi, Shams, Mysticism, Sufism & unconditional divine love.

This is my second trip using Selene Travel and I am writing another review for the reason that Selene Travel really deserves it. Mete, the main person of contact, is really awesome and really goes the extra mile when giving tours. Especially since last time we couldnt get to everything in first tour of Konya due to time. As stated before, highly recommend using Selene Travel. Not only you gain appreciation for history of Konya and Cappadocia but future trip recommendations. Consistency is key and Selene Travel is consistently 5/5 stars. Thank you again Mete!
