Brilliant tour thanks to Fatima - Mete organised Fatima to take us around Konya. She was impressive with her knowledge on several subjects and historical aspects of Konya. The restaurant she took us to for lunch was amazing. What was most impressive was that she tailored the tour to suit us. I highly recommend her. Also Mete organised transport for me from Konya to Antalya at amazing prices compared to everybody else. 5 star service…

A must do if visiting Konya. - Fatima is a fantastic tour guide. She took us to see all the museums, resting places of Rumi and Shams Tabrezi. Alladin mosque was great to see as well. Lunch at the restaurant was delicious. This is a must tour for Konya visitors.

Excellent guide and museum visits - Mete arranged a wonderful guide named Hayri. Hayri grew up with the kids of American personnel on a US military base in Turkey and knew English very well as a result. He also knew his Konya history and much about Rumi and the philosophy of Sufism as well. Great museums and neighborhoods on this tour. Highly recommended!!

Fantastic and Informative - I was traveling with my girlfriends and we booked this 7 hour tour as a way to see Konya and understand a bit more about the Sufi religion and history. It was well worth it and provided context and background information. Mete was professional in handling our tour and in his communications. Since our tour was on a Monday there were several sites that were closed so he provided alternative stops for us to review ahead of time which was helpful to our group of 3 and the added stops did not disappoint. Our guide Yunus was informative and interesting throughout the trip. We walked from site to site and he explained in detail the history of the Sufi's, Konya and Turkish life. The Mevlana Muzesi was stunning and we enjoyed it immensely. The Karatay Medresesi Museum was also an amazing place with so much information. We were parched by that point and Yunus kindly bought us water. One of the added on places was the Konyanuma Panorama Museum which was filled with paintings depicting Rumi's life and journey from Iran to Konya. It was well done and contained a lot of information and we highly recommend it to added to the regular tour. Another added on site for us was the Konya Büyükşehir Belediyesi Taş Bina... formerly a girls teacher training school, it is now a digital experience and cultural arts center. The center delved into the history of Konya and was fascinating and well done.. again it should be part of the regular tour! We truly enjoyed our day walking with Yunus and Mete's skillful driving to our meeting point and to the village of Sille. Highly recommend this tour!!
