Overall: one could do the whole Tour by oneself by simply Collecting one of those free Maps from the Tourist Info Office! It was an OK-Tour; but I Bet there are better tours available. It Would have been much more interesting to actually Hear from a Local what this Division does to the people of Cyprus
Visiting the Museum of struggle was interesting(and I have to admit, I would have Not entered without our Guide Leasing US there)

My wife and I had a wonderful tour with Iliana! We've probably done a twenty or more private tours during our travels through the years and Iliana is one of the best guides we have had. That she has experience as a teacher helps tremendously, but what separates her from the average tour guide is her enthusiasm and great personality. We had a wonderful tour of Nicosia with Iliana and strongly recommend her.

I must admit I had no idea what to expect before I met Ute. As it turns out, she was an amazing German lady who had lived through East/West Germany, allowing her to make many comparisons (and highlite the differences) to the current state of Cyprus. Also, helped smooth my pass through passport checkpoints, which was made unnecessarily difficult by the officers. I could not have ased for a better guide!

Ein wunderbarer Spaziergang durch die beiden Teile der geteilten Hauptstadt. Vielen Dank an Frau Ute Woermann-Stylianou. Sie hat jahrelang in Nikosia gelebt und als Deutsch-Lehrerin gearbeitet. Das Goethe-Zentrum (heutzutage Goethe-Institut), an dem sie unterrichtete, befindet sich zwischen den zwei Checkpoints, direkt in der UN-Bufferzone, die weder von der Republik Zypern noch von den türkischen Besatzungskräften kontrolliert wird. Frau Woermann verbindet auf eine sehr interessante Weise ihre persönliche Lebensgeschichte mit der tragischen Geschichte der Insel.

Excursión muy interesante para conocer Nicosia en un día. Nuestra guía Charys fue muy atenta y amable y gran conocedora de la historia de la ciudad
Javier_P, Aug 2022
Fue en Español. Domina genial el idioma. Nicosia es una ciudad por ser la única capital Europea dividida, como lo estuvo Berlín, y ella nos ayudo a entender lo extraño y compleja de la situación en esta ciudad centenaria.
