Full-day Famagusta: Lost Cities & Coastal Secrets from Paphos

The tour is great and well organized. Our tour guide is nice and knowledgeable. We are satisfied and enjoyed the whole tour.

Great day out. Very informative and loved being able to walk around the ghost town for our first time.

A good day out, but nowhere near enough time allowed for looking around Varosha. We were initially told we only had 15 minutes which we managed to stretch it to half an hour, but this was not long enoug. Would have been better to have less time at Famagusta so more time could be spent at Varosha

It was a very good informative tour. Guide and the driver both good. it was emitional as i went throigh the British sovereign base ss i was here in 1998 as a soldier a lot has changed since then . I travelled with my partner we both enjored i

The trip was both informative and emotional. We didn’t know what to expect but it lived up to expectations. Even the rain didn’t stop us enjoying a memorable day.

The sites were cool to see, but I wished we had more time in the abandoned city. Lunch was decent. The rating I’m giving is solely for the sites we saw. My lower rating stems from the conduct of the guide, Hermione. Our group wasn’t big. When I first got on the bus, she asked if I was American and if I brought my passport. I didn’t think much of it and confirmed. A Portuguese person got on a couple stops later. The guide came down the bus and once again asked where I was from. I thought it was weird because I had literally just gotten on the bus and confirmed I was from the US when she asked, but I figured she just forgot, and said California. When the last person got on the bus a stop or two later, she recited where everyone was from, skipping me (the only non-European). When the time came to collect passports, she asked me for the third time where I was from despite holding my passport in her hands, and then proceeded to turn it over, open it and examine it as if to verify I’m actually American. She didn’t do this to any other passengers, and had no problems remembering where they came from. Thereafter, she pretty much did not deign to speak with me, not even when she passed me entering a shop. The one other time she spoke to me, she asked where in the US I was from (again, odd to me considering she remembered where everyone else in our small group came from and I had already told her I’m from California). On the way home, I overheard parts of her conversation with two dudes on the tour mentioning “refugees,” “dark skinned people,” “not sending them back,” and “look at England.” I don’t know that I’d recommend this tour to others based on my experience.

A long day but very interesting. Could have been longer at the ghost town didn't manage to see all of it

The guide was fantastic and very knowledgeable The tour showed the history of Cyprus from ancient times to recent conflicts with free time also in walled Famagusta

It was interesting and informative. The guide Emma was excellent and the bus was well driven and a high standard.

Really enjoyed this excursion. A long day but a lot packed into it. George was a great guide , really upbeat with a great sense of humour. Fascinating but emotional visit to Varosha to see what had happened there.
