Amazing day in Konya, in the footsteps of Rumi
Zaki A,,Nov 4, 2025

5.00Everything was so amazing! If you want to connect more deeply with Rumi, one of the greatest poets of all time, I highly recommend this day tour. Mete, Sakir, and our driver were all super helpful, knowledgeable, accommodating, and took care of everything for us. They organized everything really beautifully so we had a very smooth, comfortable, and enjoyable pilgrimage day from Istanbul to Koyna specifically to connect with Rumi and experience the city he called home for a significant part of his life. If you are considering visiting Konya to connect with the life and legacy of Rumi, do it! And personally we had a fantastic experience with this tour, can’t recommend them enough 😊

5.00This tour was truly amazing! I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants to connect with the life and legacy of Rumi, one of the greatest poets of all time. Mete and Sakir and our driver went out of their way to organize a perfect day for us, covering all the important sites in Konya associated with Rumi. It was totally worth the day trip from Istanbul just to experience this amazing day connecting with the legacy of Rumi. They took care of everything for us so we didn’t have to stress at all, and were super helpful, knowledgeable, accommodating, and just all around friendly and amazing people. Couldn’t be happier with this experience! If you are at all considering going on this day tour of Konya, to follow the Footsteps of Rumi, don’t think twice, just go for it! You will be happy you did. Everything was 10/10 amazing 😊

5.00Amazing tour for Konya through the lens of Rumi. Mr Heyri and all organisers (Meti and driver) were super friendly and accommodating. Mr Heyri gave a very detailed and passionate account of Rumi's life that bought the city to life in our eyes. The tour was accompanied with a lovely meal. Highly recommend this tour for those in Konya. Our thanks to Meti and Mr Heyri for their amazing hospitality
Memorable Day in Konya

5.00We had an amazing one-day experience in Konya! Everything was so well-organized and planned that we didn’t have to worry about a thing. Fatimah, our guide, was fantastic—she shared so much interesting information about every place we visited. It truly felt like we were visiting local friends who showed us around and made sure we were comfortable the entire time. They even went above and beyond by adding a couple of extra stops that weren’t originally part of the tour and arranging late-night airport transportation for us. It was such a thoughtful and memorable trip!
Came for Rumi, stayed for the warm and friendly energy!

5.00Amazing way to spend a day in Konya! Hayri was my guide. He provided a wealth of fascinating information about Rumi. As a solo traveler, it felt as if I was spending the day with a local friend in Konya telling me all about the history. We saw Rumi and Shams of Tabriz's tombs which I was delighted to see after reading the book, "Forty Rules of Love". I learned about the local Konya cuisine and Hosmerim (which is a MUST to try before leaving Konya), things you won't get in other parts of Turkey. I really enjoyed learning more about the purpose and goals of the dervishes and how their aim is to temper the ego and not take themselves too seriously. It was a very curated experience! By the end of the day, I felt as though I had made a friend. I would definitely recommend this trip. It's worth every penny! You will leave feeling a bit more lighthearted, spiritual, and connected to the rich fabric of Konya!
Wonderful mystical tour

5.00I had a wonderful day with Hayri during my tour of “In the footsteps of Rumi”. Hayri was very knowledgeable and spoke excellent English. He was able to bring Rumi and the Mevlevi order he founded to life
