Konya Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

It was a great rxperience, the tour guide Huseyin was amazing, very knowledgeable, kind and patience. The experience ended up as 2 friends. I'm very happy because of the explanation of Rumi's live and city history.

Absolutely fantastic tour. Khadija was a phenomenal guide - so friendly and easy to spend time with. She was very knowledgeable about not only Catal Hoyuk but about Konya, Anatolia and other sites in Turkey. It was so valuable having her guide us, she worked to our timetable and interests. Through her we met one of the site managers for Boncuklu Hoyuk as well as someone excavating at Catal Hoyuk. Pick up was easy and everything very straightforward. Highly recommend

My guide Hatice was so knowledgeable and so friendly. I learned an incredible amount of information about the glorious Rumi. It was a perfect tour and exceeded my expectations.

This tour should be compulsory for all us Westerners. Evidence that people can and did live in harmony with others. This is evidence that civilisation existed well before we claimed the honour. In fact in the face of this you'll wonder why we call ourselves civilised at all.

You really do need to do this tour with a guide, especially if you're unfamiliar with Rumi. If you're lucky you'll get Hatice. She was not only informative but had a way of connecting my lived experience with Sufi philosophy not in a preaching manner; she seemed to have a sixth sense about it. We shared meaningful conversations, laughs and I totally enjoyed my time with her and the day.

We had a great day with our guide, taking us first to Sille, explain all the history very nice. The lady at the priest house insit we sit for a free glass of tea - how special! We saw all the best of Konja by walking in the old town and the history and stories of these places were shared with us Had a very nice traditional lunch as well!

One of the first human settlements is enhanced by a woeld class modern museum. A journey back to one of the first known human settlements 9000 years ago. A short distance from Konya with direct bus transportation via Konya's red buses. A world treasure.

With this sightseeing you see everything you should see in Konya. What a nice sight over whole the of Konya!

Excellent way to explore the culture, history and religion of Konya. It is a full day so wear comfortable clothes and shoes. Our guide Hüseyin had an encyclopaedic knowledge of the history and religious influences. It was a pleasure spending the day with him and our driver Halil who was an expert and safe driver. Highly recommend this tour if you want to learn about the Sufi sect, its founder Rumi and what makes Konya special.

Comfortable van picked us directly from our hotel. We met only a few tourists at all places. Our guide was very friendly and give us a lot of interesting information about visited places and their history. The trip could be highly recommended for one day tour to the best places in Cappadocia.

A fantastic tour, with Çatalhöyük as the highlight. The well-planned itinerary allows plenty of time to explore the site. It also includes the Archaeological Museum in Konya, which displays several artifacts from Çatalhöyük. The guide, Hussein, was excellent—knowledgeable and full of stories that brought the tour to life. Highly recommended!

We had a tour with Hayri in Konya of the museum and tomb of Rumi and family. If you can, we'd highly recommend that you request Hayri as your guide. He's informative, interesting and funny -- and friendly. Also, as an additional benefit for understanding of subtle points, he is English-fluent. We considered doing a self-guided tour but we would have missed a lot, and are very glad we opted for this tour with Hayri.

The experience was highly rewarding and thoroughly enjoyed. Our only minor disappointment stemmed from the two available options for visiting Kelebek Park. Had this information been provided at the time of ticket purchase, we would have been able to plan accordingly. Nevertheless, the overall experience was excellent, and the guide proved to be exceptionally helpful and informative.

Amazing Service The driver was polite and patient Clean & High End Car Ontime in pick up Very good value for money

The provider easily worked with my travel plans, schedule and need to connect points in my itinerary. The communication was excellent.

We first met Mete from Selene in Konya nearly 20 years ago. Since that time he and his lovely team have consistently provided our family and friends with excellent, exclusive experiences in Konya. From airport transfers to behind-the-scenes private sufi tours to visits to the region beyond Konya, Selene deserve their reputation as Konya's Number 1 for the international visitor. Recommend wholeheartedly. Kevin and family
