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.

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!

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.
