Excursion d'une journée à Famagouste: la ville fantôme

We were fortunate enough to be able to take this tour from Limassol at extra cost. Our driver was very experienced, and although he provided much information, did not act as a guide, so we visited the locations ourselves. Given the venues this was not adverse. All the area is in the Turkish north of Cyprus so passports were necessary, and while there can be very long delays/queues at the border, this was January, so it was quiet. Although memorable it cannot for us be described as enjoyable, since the experience of visiting Varoche (now Maras) the up market area of Famagusta, and its desecration, now decaying after 57 years of neglect since the invasion of 1974, and the disrespect of the catholic St Nicholas Cathedral, now "converted" to a mosque, left a very sad feeling. More,so me, as I saw both in their glory in 1968. Our final visit was to Salamis, a vast spectacle, which requires much more time than we had. Finishing with a late lunch at a restaurant recommended by our driver, it was a day to be remembered.

Can’t say enough good things about our driver/guide, Steve. Very knowledgeable and willing to share. He listened to what we wanted and delivered. Comfortable vehicle. Very interesting sites visited that were on the itinerary and even some that weren’t. Famagusta is a very eye opening place to visit and see first hand the destruction of conflict. Other sights were also very good to see. We highly recommend this.tour and company for those visiting Cyprus.

Steve was a magnificent driver/guide. While not an official guide, Steve is very knowledgeable and willing to share what he knows. Very accommodating to our personal desires. The vehicle was very comfortable. Wonderful day visiting the sites on the itinerary as well as a few extras. We are extremely happy with our journey today and highly recommend this service.

Did a two day private tour that started with Famagusta but included some of the most amazing sites in the world, including the ancient Roman cities of Salamis and Paphos, as well as Othello's castle and Kolossi castle. Cyprus should be on everyone's bucket list and if you go you should use iTaxi so you don't miss anything.

The trip was very interesting, the driver was very knowledgeable, kind and patient with us on such a hot day. We very much enjoyed Saint Barnabas monastery and Salamis especially the amphitheatre. We found seeing the ghost city of Famagusta hard (due to family history) but can see why people would find it interesting to visit.

Excellent day trip to Famagusta and Salamis on the Noth east side of the Island. Very professional company. Excellent communication. I recommand Itaxi strongly.

We stayed in Larnaca for 4 days and between taking us from the airport and back, along with some internal transfers, we were looked after very well. Staff were friendly and taxis were always on time. When you don't know a destination very well, it is good to have reliable people to help you out and these people certainly did that.

Punctual, professional and absolutely correct. Prompt reply to the request by email. Very friendly chauffeurs, clean taxis. Anytime very happy again!

I booked iTaxi for 3 adults and a baby for our recent holiday to Nissi Beach and their service was exceptional. I sent an email and had a quote within an hour and being 50 Euro cheaper than booking through TUI I didn’t hesitate. We had full instructions of where our driver would be and he was waiting for us with our names on a board and a smile on his face, which was I was impressed with considering it was early hours! The car even had a baby seat which our TUI bus didn’t have the year previous, I had to sit for an hour with my daughter on my lap. When we left the airport we needed milk for the baby and our driver said with no hesitation he would take us to a shop for us to grab some milk and drinks for the drive. Even with the stop we were at the hotel, checked in and at the bar before the bus arrived! For the return leg we received an email to save our driver would come at a certain time. I emailed a few hours before he was picking us up to ask if he could come earlier and again within the hour I had a response to say not a problem and he was at the hotel right on time. Brilliant service from start to finish and I’m glad to say we’ve found our taxi service for all our trips to Cyprus. Thanks to Demetra and our driver for the great service!

On time, nice spacious car and friendly drivers. Provided bottles of water, which was very nice. Brilliant that they provided age appropriate car seats for my 2 children too. Would 100% use again on my next visit to Cyprus.
