It was a very insightful experience. Ava the guide was exceptional and we learned so much about the start of the occupation in 1974 through her personal experience. It was actually very moving. We also enjoyed the Salamis trip, again very informative. Definitely recommended.
A brilliant trip with history,politics,social issues of a island divided. A long day with Eva and the Chris our drive did a brilliant job. So knowledgeable and full of information about the issues
The day was brilliant, well-organised and balanced (long, but not rushed)
Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback! We’re delighted to hear you found the day brilliant, well-organised, and nicely balanced. We always aim to give our guests enough time to enjoy each stop without the tour feeling rushed, so your comments mean a lot to us. We hope to welcome you again on another memorable day out in Cyprus!
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.
Grazie mille per le vostre splendide parole! Siamo davvero felici che abbiate apprezzato il sito di Salamina e la città di Famagosta, con la sua atmosfera unica della città fantasma. Eva sarà sicuramente contenta di sapere che avete riconosciuto la sua cura dei dettagli e la sua professionalità: per noi è un grande orgoglio avere guide così appassionate e attente. Speriamo di potervi accogliere nuovamente presto per un’altra esperienza indimenticabile a Cipro!
I think we would have really enjoyed our trip if we had got there! We arrived at the pickup point at 7.45 for an 8am departure… at 8.30 we called the tour company to be told the bus had left at 7.30! We have had an apology and a refund but are really disappointed!
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.
Great trip really worth doing- very interesting and informative detail given by Eva. Excellent value for money. Safe driver very courteous. Would recommend this trip.
Was met by the coach near the hotel then after pickups carried to a coffee break. After the toilet stop/coffee break we carried on to the check point to the North. During the journey our wonderful guide Eva recounted the history of the island and her personal story which had sad undertones. Once we were through the check point *Dont forget passports* we carried on to Salamis with a chaperone. We learnt all about the site and after a bit of free time it was back to coach for Famagusta. We were dropped close to the Othello castle. Reportedly associated with the famous Shakespeare play. This castle was within the walled city of Famagusta. After free time to explore and have lunch it was back to our meeting point. We then continued our way to the segregated Forbidden zone. Fenced off since 1974, now partially open for visitors. It was sad to hear the story and to see the state of the buildings some showing signs of battle damage. After our visit it was back to the coach and yes we stopped at the same stop on the way home. I have seen some comments about the coffee/toilet stops. Well both the driver and the guide had a very long day which did not stop until a while after the last drop off. Our driver was brilliant, patient and deserves praise for the hours he did. Eva was an excellent guide very positive and informative. It was a brilliant trip that I am glad I did
Air conditioned coach. Stopped at a cafe halfway there. The guide gave us lots of information on the coach journey to our destinations which was much appreciated. Personally I didn’t listen to it all but having done lots of trips before I feel the drive to trips are a missed opportunity for guide to tell us the history of their country if they don’t. We visited salamis first the amount of time and information given was perfect for us. We then went through the border crossing to famagusta walled city where we visited the cathedral which was converted to a mosque. We were allowed to enter. We had free time which allowed us to find a restaurant to eat and rest. We then went onto ghost town of varosha. The guide told us interesting facts of the city and some personal experiences from her childhood visits to varisha. I personally watch a video on youtube about famagusta and varosha and this helped piece together my understanding of my visit. If I had to make any suggestion I would say skip the 30 stop on the journey home or give travellers the option as I would have rather have got back to our hotel 30 minutes earlier as it was a 12 hour trip ( maybe 45 mins of this was added onto the journey with picks ups and drops offs
The guide was very informative, approachable and helpful. Everything was made very clear about crossing the border and the protocol and felt safe the whole time. Coach was comfortable and air conditioned (necessary in the heat!). Sites were interesting and we had enough time at each location. It is along day to the other side, so prepare for that. Only loss of a star was that the pickup times were not shared correctly, so there was a longer wait. Otherwise all very smooth!
