Our guide was very friendly, cheerful and eager to please, yet his knowledge of the Southern side of Nicosia was not as impressive as his full understanding of the Northern side. We enjoyed the time we had together, but felt that we could have learned more about the Greek Cypriot part of the capital. Enjoyable and thorough in that we covered a great deal of ground, but we felt that we could have learned more.

This was the perfect way to learn about Cyprus' divided capital. Sirin was extremely knowledgeable. In just 3 hours, we got to see both the Greek and Turkish sides of the city and learned a lot about the history of the island over the centuries. This was a private tour, and Sirin was flexible with timing. The pacing of the tour was perfect and the short break for a drink was appreciated. Sirin also provided excellent suggestions for lunch restauranta to visit following our tour. We were very happy with the experience!

This was a very nice tour and Sirin was amazing. She is very attentive, patient, knowledgable and I learnt a lot about Nicosia as well as Cypriot history and culture. Would recommend.

It was an amazing tour ! Sirin is a very knowledgeable guide and a very nice and friendly person. Within a few hours we got great insights in Nicosias history and saw all the important spots. I really can recommend this tour!

While I was sadly unable to attend due to a (very) last minute work conflict, I’m posting a 5 star review here because I really think the staff has earned one, given how accommodating and understanding they were. Even though my guide lost a significant amount of time while she waited for me to find out whether or not I could attend, she was incredibly gracious and we’ve arranged to take this overdue tour whenever I return to Cyprus! I was really impressed by the professionalism and kindness of my guide and I’m confident anyone who books through this company will have a great experience—even if, like me, it the objective becomes restructuring your schedule rather than attending a tour!

Dear Grace sometimes in life last-minute interruptions change your plans. The same happened to you!!! So, whenever you come to Cyprus feel free to contact me (in advance please) and we do the tour as it was planned before. Looking forward to hearing from you....

A nice chance to know the turkish side of Nicosia with depth of historical and cultural information we wouldn't have the chance to know without a guide.
