Konya is the record book of the secrets. All the secrets of religion, meditation ,philosophy ,thinking are hidden in this city. Everyone must come to the steps of Konya because the epistles of universal peace are buried here. Sufism is the way of the heart ,the way of the pureness,the inner mystical path of Islam. It is the path which takes the seeker to the divine presence. The Sufi surrenders to God, in love, over and over. Each person is a unique representative of the divine. The Sufis say ''If human beings knew their own inner secrets ,never would they look elsewhere for seeking happiness ,peace ,and inner light.'' We invite you on a journey to your inner world ,where enlightenment may come from this tolerance ocean..

I booked this tour as a private tour and I am absolutely thrilled. Already at the pick-up you feel like a VIP because of the spacious vehicle. The catering is fully included and very good despite current legal restrictions. Great importance is attached to hygiene measures for pandemic prevention without having to have any significant restrictions on the experience. The guide speaks perfect German. Apart from that, he also speaks several other languages fluently. He really has an extensive expertise. You can have an excellent conversation about the cultures, mythologies as well as art. Although several sites are visited that are a bit far from each other, one is at the sights most of the time. The ancient buildings are fascinating and it is an indescribable feeling to stand in the middle of an ancient trade route while the guide describes life and events there at that time. At least as impressive are the waterfalls surrounded by nature and a park that invites you to explore. For cultural tourists, this tour is without a doubt a must.

We had a great time! We want to come back to Turkey in the winter because we are in love with the country now. :) We really enjoyed all the places we visited and would like to travel back to spend more time exploring - especially in Cappadocia and the big cities. All the people we met were wonderful and our guides were excellent. We especially LOVED our first two. They were the nicest and most fun people to spend time with- it was like being on vacation with friends. We didn't want to go home! We will definitely do another Eskapas tour in Greece or Turkey on our next trip so I will reach out to you again in a few months when we are ready to book. Thanks for all your help! We really appreciated it.

Unfortunately we didn't get to enjoy this boat to the fullest due to Covid restrictions and some things not being allowed, such as the foam party. This was part of the reason we booked it for my son - however there wasn't really much children's entertainment either so that was a bit of a disappointment. However, the staff were friendly enough and still had good banter with the kids, especially Jack Sparrow and the guy who was doing the photography. The photos were nice but I think a tad over priced for me personally. But it was a nice momento for my son as it was his first time in Turkey and also out on boats at sea and swimming in the sea. The staff were very encouraging and helped get him in to the way as he was a bit apprehensive about it. We also enjoyed a short shopping trip at a small village, and lunch was lovely.
