Overview of your Konya tour

Konya attracts nearly 2 million tourists annually and is considered the birthplace of Islamic mysticism with a history as deep as the spiritual doctrine of renowned Persian poet, Rumi is the founder of the Sufi Tradition in Konya. I have been guiding tours for visitors to Konya, especially for the ones, like me, who are keen to learn more about Rummy's philosophy and his intensive feeling about life and teaching us how to behave against humans and cope with all the difficulties. Come, come, whoever you are. "Wanderer, worshiper, lover of leaving. It doesn't matter. " "Ours is not a caravan of despair. " "Come, even if you have broken your vows a thousand times. " "Come, yet again, come, come. "

Zey provided a very good tour. Her English was generally understandable. She provided a good tour of the Mevlana Museum and mosque next door. We enjoyed a lunch with local food selected by Zey. The tour took about 5.5 hours. We were disappointed not to see the exterior of the Ince Minaret Museum, and we were not aware of the Panoramic Meram tour included in the tour description, perhaps it was the Alaaddin Mosque on the hill. We enjoyed our time with Zey, a very nice person, and we recommend her to others

Zey is an absolutely fantastic tour guide who we couldn't recommend highly enough. She has incredible knowledge and insight that was fascinating to learn about, and she's very personable and fun to be around. We really loved working with her and will definitely be back in touch if we come again to Konya. Thanks so much Zey!

We had a great time in Konya , and we were picked up at airport and had an extensive tour by Zey's friend and he was one of the sofies working in the area and showed us the places and we enjoyed our time.the negative point comes from not five star management in pick up and extensive information on unnecessary knowledges and lack of clarity in service. Overall I recommend the "tours by local". overall great experience and in Konya and very recommending

We had such a great time with Seynep and the drivers. She took care of our needs and things we asked to visit. She took us to very nice restaurants. And she is very resolutive to find solutions to whatever we asked. She has a great knowledge of history. Her explanations were very detailed. I would like to come back to Konya in spring, and certainly recommend Zeynep.
