A memorable visit to Konya: spiritual renewal and gentle encounters. - My visit to Konya was fulfillment of a spiritual journey to renew my devotion to Mevlana Rumi. I was most fortunate to have Fatma Horzum as my tour guide and teacher. Her fluency in English ( she teaches English at a rural school) was a great asset. But more importantly was her profound knowledge of Anatolian history and the Sufi traditions embodied in Rumi's teachings. Her guidance throughout the tour ( I had only one day in Konya) was calm, respectful and paced to my senior needs . Fatma and her tour company are highly recommended to deliver a tour that is tailored to your requirements and needs. There is no commercial angle such as contrived visits to specific shops, restaurants etc. I return home with very find and dear memories of Konya . And I hope I have another opportunity to visit Konya with my family and spend more time with Fatma as our tour guide.

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.
