A Seamless Journey Through North Cyprus: Nicosia Tour Review

Published on Mar, 2024

Attending the Nicosia tour as the third leg of our journey after Kyrenia and Famagusta was an great experience, thanks to our guide Sirin. Her understanding of both sides of the city allowed us to gain insights about both sides of the city. She was able to to link the sights we saw in Nicosia with those in Kyrenia and Famagusta, creating a cohesive and interconnected journey. Moreover, her patience and warmth towards the children in our group made the tour enjoyable and accessible for all ages.

Nice Tour of Nicosia With Our Lovely Guide Şirin

Published on Feb, 2024

Our guide Şirin picked us from our hotel in Kyrenia. She gave us a lot of information about Cyprus on our way to Nicosia. In the divided capital we visited Barbarian museum, the old town and the bazaar and also the gates between north and south parts of Cyprus capital and The Arap Ahmet territory. Our guide gave us all the information about the historical and political facts about the city and the population of the city. We are a family of four with two kids 7 and 11. They were also very happy with the tour and didn’t even complain about walking many kilometers, thanks to friendly approach of Şirin.

Trip to North Cyprus via Nicosia

Published on Feb, 2024

We were staying in a hotel in Paphos and a couple recommended Sirin Suha for a guided tour of the North of Cyprus. We were not disappointed. Everything worked well from the booking to being met in Nicosia. Took the intercity bus from Paphos (Euro 7 each way for a 2 hour trip!); Sirin was waiting at the bus station and escorted us through the city to the border. Simple to cross the border (don’t forget your passport) and the culture of the city changes on the Turkish side. It is perfectly safe to walk through the city. Sirin is a pleasure to be with and is very knowledgable about the sites and the background to the political situation. You will not be disappointed.

Fun and Learning in a Divded Capital

Published on Dec, 2023

Having been to Nicosia before with friends, I didn't think I needed a tour but a friend recommended I try this one. Boy was he right! Şirin is a wonderful guide who is passionate and knowledgeable about the history and beauty of Nicosia as well as the rest of the island. In addition to the normal tourist attractions, she has stories to tell about random buildings that we would pass. I learned so much more about this fascinating city. Her sense of humor makes the tour so much more enjoyable. There are smiles and laughter throughout. She also is a great photographer and makes sure you take home photographic memories from the best spots. Her pace was comfortable and not rushed and she made sure to include a break or two. I highly recommend her tour!

A Day at Capital Nicosia

Published on Sep, 2023

Sirin suha was our guide.She took us to different places from different heritages that can be seen the last divided capital in Europa .We had our lemonade in a Keervansaray which was built on 16th century. If you ever come to Cyprus do not forget to choose this tour with Sirin to make your day a memorable one.
