The Economic Konya Tour from Istanbul provided a unique and enlightening experience. Konya's cultural significance and the Mevlana Museum were highlights of the trip.

However, I'm giving it 4 stars because, while the tour was informative, I wished for a bit more in-depth exploration of the museum and its history.
