    Iva was our guide and it was a pleasure to listen to all the explanation she was given us throughout the day. She is very friendly and approachable and very knowledgeable. The tour was very well structured with plenty of breaks. Famagusta was interesting and sad in the same time. We had a very good time. Worth doing it.

    Famagusta and Salamis tour

    An insight into Cyprus and its history- past and present. Eva, our guide, gave us lots of information about her life in Cyprus from childhood to present day.

    Brilliant memorable tour

    Christine_B, Jun 2025
    This trip was educational and emotional. Our guide Eva, not only knows the history she was telling us about, she has lived through it. She was relaying her very personal and detailed tragic experiences she's gone through during an illegal occupation of Northern Cyprus by Turkey and beyond. It was a long day but theres plenty of stops for refreshments and eats. All credit goes to both Eva, our guide and Yani our driver who gave us a comfortable safe ride.

    Excellent and emotional

    Amanda_S, Jun 2025
    It's a long tour, about 11 hours, however brilliantly put together, and remember you get chance to rest on the coach. The sights are amazing and humbling. Our tour guide Eva had a story to tell, it was emotional and informative. A real insight it the history of Cyprus, definitely worth doing.

    Memorable trip

    Our guide Eva was very informative and knowledgeable, whilst also giving us her own personal account of what happened when the Turkish invaded. Thank you Eva for making this trip so memorable.

    Great Day Out

    A Fabulous trip

    This is a historical trip with amazing guide Eva. Without Eva it wouldn’t be the same trip. Verosa has a moving history and is untouched for the last 50 years. Ghost town. Salamis ruins. I had a good view from top of the theater. Be prepared as it’s going to be a long day but worth it.

    very educational

    william_g, Aug 2024
    very informative and educational on the history of cyprus and the turkish invasion in 1974. hearing eva’s story was very sad and has opened our eyes on the issues that the cypriots have faced.

    Incredible experience

    Matt_L, Jun 2024
    Have visited Varosha previously but never expected to get anywhere near the ghost town. Amazing how quickly these things can progress. Our guide Eva was amazing all day. Her very personal experiences relating to the Turkish invasion are clearly still very raw and this made it a truly compelling, if sometimes emotionally draining, day. Absolutely recommend doing this trip before Varosha ends up being redeveloped

    Very interesting the...

    Diletta_F, Dec 2025
    Very interesting is the site of Salamis and the city of Famagusta, with the unique peculiarity of the ghost town. Thanks to the guide Eva then, everything was taken care of in detail and we were accompanied with rare care and professionalism.

    Buena excursión a Famagusta

    JAVIER_S, Aug 2024
    La excursión estuvo bien. La única pega que tuvo fue que tuvimos poco tiempo libre para ver y hacer alguna compra en Famagusta.
