This was my first time in Turkey, and I wanted an authentic experience, a real taste of the culture, not just a checklist of sights. Zeynep delivered exactly that. Her passion for the food and her culture came through in everything she did, and from the very start she made us feel like friends, not tourists on a tour. The food was delicious and abundant, I came with a big appetite and still couldn’t finish it all! She went above and beyond throughout, and I can’t recommend this experience enough, especially if you’re lucky enough to have Zeynep as your guide. 😊

Un'esperienza davvero emozionante e incantevole. L'esibizione dei dervisci è stata coinvolgente e suggestiva, capace di trasmettere grande serenità e spiritualità. Al termine dello spettacolo ci è stato offerto un tè davvero buonissimo, un gesto molto apprezzato che ha concluso la serata nel migliore dei modi. La prenotazione è stata semplicissima e ben organizzata. L'unica piccola pecca è che la location non è stata facilissima da trovare, ma ne è valsa assolutamente la pena. Consiglio questa esperienza a chiunque visiti Istanbul.

My experience booking tickets for the Whirling Dervishes & Sufi Dance through Headout was absolutely a smooth and a seamless process.. From the moment I purchased my tickets until the time I entered the venue, everything was handled professionally and efficiently. The performance itself was mesmerizing, deeply spiritual, and a true highlight of my trip to Istanbul. I highly recommend using this service to anyone wanting a hassle-free way to experience this beautiful cultural tradition. Thank you for making my visit so special

Ho prenotato quest'esperienza principalmente per poter assistere al rito dei dervisci: viaggiando da solo avevo invece qualche riserva sulla cena che sarebbe seguita. Zey, la nostra guida, si è rivelata non solo preparata, premurosa e attenta, ma anche in grado di creare gruppo da subito. Sorridente tutto il tempo. Ottima esperienza e cena meravigliosa.

Witness the UNESCO-recognized Mevlevi Sema ceremony, a spiritual ritual blending music, meditation, and whirling dance.

Begin your evening in the Sultahmet or Hagia Sophia area; present your ticket and settle in for the spiritual Mevlevi Sema ceremony.

Your ticket grants access to the full Whirling Dervish ritual, with live Sufi music and mesmerizing dance in a central Old Town venue.

Witness the 1-hour Mevlevi Sema, a moving display of devotion and artistry, as dervishes whirl in authentic tradition before your eyes.

Upgrade your experience with a traditional Turkish dinner including a variety of kebabs, meze, salads, tea, coffee, and künefe.
