What To Expect
Mevlana Muzesi
For Muslims and non-Muslims alike, the main reason to come to Konya is to visit the Mevlâna Museum, the former lodge of the whirling dervishes and home to the tomb of Mevlana Celaleddin Rumi who lived in 13th century. This is the biggest Sufi centre in Turkey, and the building's fluted dome of turquoise tiles is one of Turkey's most distinctive sights.
Alaeddin Mosque
The Alaeddin Mosque is one of the oldest mosque in Turkey, constructed by the Seljuk Sultans of Rum between 1116-1220. Alaeddin Mosque has some interesting architectural features ,such as columns of different sizes and from earlier periods. Seljuk Palace was built during the reign of Sultan Kılıçarslan II (1156-1192).

5.00Fatma was a gracious host as she took us to all parts of Konya . I was surprised there Was so much to see., From all the beautiful mosques to learning about the Whirling dervishes and all about Rumi. We also spent a lovely luncheon eating Turkish local food. If you're spending a day in Konya You should spend it with Fatma

5.00I 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!!
Best way to learn so much in one day

5.00I 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.
Great guide
