We were picked up from our hotel and driven in a comfortable coach . It’s a long day but well worth it. The tour guide Katerina was very knowledgeable and passionate about the places we went. For us the tour to Famagusta was an eye opener and quite emotional actually.

They did not show up. This is the first time when the company did not show up. They clams that I was on a different hotel, but my pick up is set in-front of another hotel, which is not through because they sent me a confirmation mail. Never book this company. My initial mistake was that I disregarded similar experiences described by another tourists. This is a shame if a company. Totally untrustful.

The whole trip was very good. The guide talked a lot about the history of Cyprus and of the tourist sights.
In the morning we received half an hour coffee break but I used the time to run through the UNESCO world heritage site nearby.

The pick up location given wasn't appropriate at all. I requested to change it. I was answered it was ok. So I confirmed the new address, and got no further assistance. So that I couldn't take part. That wasn't serious at all.

The guide, escort and driver were all fabulous. Be prepared this was a 12 hour trip door to door - a LOT of driving. The border was slow and the passport checks took a while. The ruins were amazing (50c fee to use toilets) and the Venetian walls were impressive. We never really had time to eat and food is not provided. It was a very very long day. The north is not nearly as nice as the south.

The trip overall was good. There was however an issue with the passports at the border which resulted in us having to take a different route back to a different border crossing and added 3 hours onto our excursion time. This could have been avoided if prepared beforehand. Also, our lunch was planned incredibly late at 14:30 and since we were on the coach since 07:30 we were extremely hungry by around 12:30-13:00 and we couldn’t eat for a while. While in Othello Castle we weren’t given much time and was only able to see two rooms which was disappointing. I felt the guide was very useful with her information however the information could’ve been provided at a different time so we could have enjoyed the sights we paid to see for longer. Overall a good trip if you’re wanting to see various parts of Cyprus in one day.

We were supposed to be collected at our hotel (in the drop down menu); we received a message that the location was changed (new location 47min walking from our hotel). We go there, wait, rang the tour operator, the first time they said they were on their way to us and to wait another 20min, after 20min I rang again and they said that they were already in the motorway and they could not come back to pick us up. We missed the trip, we missed our breakfast hotel because we had to leave before 7am, we finished our phone credit ringing the customer service in USA, we didn’t manage to see Salamis and Famagousta in the rest of our trip. Very infuriating experience

We were picked up at our hotel in paphos at 8.20am. It was a long trip so be prepared to be on the coach for over an hour before the first stop. The tour guide was excellent in keeping us entertained with history of Farmagusta, she passed pictures around the coach on the way of where we were travelling to. First stop was to a donkey farm where we could get refreshments and go to the bathroom, I bought some very nice donkey milk soap. Next stop was across the border to North Cyprus that is occupied by the Turkish so don't forget passports. We went to The Ancient City Of Salamis, tour guide was so informative and showed us around the ruins. We had 2 hours 30 mins free time in Farmagusta for lunch and shopping before we were taken to see the ghost town on the way back. The tour is a full day about 11 hours but we enjoyed every minute, well done to the tour guide who was singing and keeping us entertained on the way back to hotel.
