Fantastic day in Konya learning about Rumi - Really enjoyed our day with our guide Hayri. He was very knowledgeable and passionate about Mevlana (Rumi). Hearing detail about Rumi’s and Shams life and teachings was the high for us. Highly recommend Hayri as a tour guide

Wow! - Honestly, I wasn't expecting what this tour offered me at the end: fantastic service, friendliness, and the most experienced and knowledgeable guide who took me around the places listed but also accommodated my interests. I was taken to an excellent lokanta across Mevlana Meydan, where I had a magnificent lunch. Everywhere we went, I was greeted warmly and sincerely. Turkish hospitality at its best.

History personally conveyed - My tour was very interestingly guided and designed by my dedicated and likeable guide Hayri. Hayri is very well versed in Konya and especially in the history of Konya, knows an incredible amount about Sufism and about Rumi and its history. He guided me through the mosques and museums in German and told me many interesting stories there and over lunch together. It was a great way for me to get in touch with Konya and Sufism in a short time.

Book this if you are in Konya! - My experience with Huseyn sir was amazing. Though I had about 5.5 hours only, he managed time well without rushing. From smooth pick up from the station to in-depth explanation of each thing, it was all worth the money.

A Very Special tour for those who are seeking to connect with themselves again - Great walkthrough Konya. Me Hayri was a true teacher. Experienced and very friendly. I wouldn’t learn and understood everything by myself. Listening and experiencing about Rumis life throughout all the important stops on the tour was a very special moment for me. I recommend this tour.

Amazing tour in Konya - That was an amazing trip. Our host Mr. Mete and tour guide Mr. Hayri went above & beyond to organize a comprehensive tour day in Konya. We were picked up from the airport by Mr. Mete and his brand new luxury car and driven to a very cozy cafe for tea before the exciting adventure of Konya. Mr. Hayri the professional tour guide went through the history and stories about Konya including life of Mulvana Jalaldin Rumi, Shamse Tabrizi and other important figures with information that is hard to find. We saw more than we dreamed possible and throughly enjoyed our tour- food- and guides. We highly recommend to use this team of professionals for your next trip.
