Communicative, punctual, helpful. The travel experience is always enhanced by human factors (ie nothing we can do about a site or the weather). Expensive but worthwhile tour.

Thanks for your comment. Hope to see you in Cyprus again in the future.

I was lucky to have schedules match up with Sirin for her to take me (alone) from my hotel in Nicosia to Pafos. I wasn't up for driving in Cyprus and wanted a formal guide to share some history and let me know perspectives from a native Cypriot.
We made a brief stop at Aphrodite's Rock, which had a beautiful beach area. Stop at the Tomb of the Kings - where there is a lot more to explore than we saw. Sirin showed me some highlights, but I could have wandered around much longer if time permitted. We stopped to see the church / ruins of old church where St. Paul's Pillar is located where he was flogged. Then I had free time in Pafos, where I spent my time at the archaeological park for nearly 90 minutes (and could have spent more time there). The archaeological park and mosaics were a highlight and a must see for anyone who enjoys archaeology. I was stunned at the completeness of some of them.
Overall Sirin was great at providing some history of Cyprus and answering questions I had - a bit about the country splitting in 1974 (trying to understand why Famagusta is a ghost town - since I did not have time to tour in the North), etc.
There was a lot to see in one day, and as with many tours, time ends up going quickly. I am so thankful this tour is an option out of Nicosia, since it seems not so many options for similar trips to sites near Limassol, etc.
If there are other sites you are wanting to see - reach out to Sirin, perhaps she can arrange something for you or knows someone else who can assist. She was very responsive to any questions ahead of time via WhatsApp.
