Impressed

Published on May, 2024

Great excursion and great guide. After having been to north Nicosia on several occasions, we still saw areas and things we had not seen before. We particularly liked the time spent in Kyrenia. Really impressed by the area’s sights and vibes. A great guide surely makes the difference.

Two Day Trip to North Cyprus

Published on Feb, 2024

This was a highlight of our holiday to Cyprus. Sirin was a great guide. The booking process was easy and straightforward. Sirin was at the bus station when we arrived in Nicosia and she guided us every step of the way. Our programme was for two days with an overnight stop in a hotel in Nicosia. Before we left our holiday hotel in Paphos we were told that it could be threatening in the North of the island; this is rubbish and we never had any hint of a problem. Nicosia is a delightful city to walk around, both the North and the South. Sirin drove us North to Kyrenia and showed us the sites of the town, including taking us into the Dome hotel. On the second day Sirin collected us from Nicosia and took us via various sites to Famagusta. We visited St Nicholas Cathedral (now a mosque) before travelling to the deserted city. The only problem we had was that the weather was rainy and we had not taken the proper clothing. however Sirin worked hard to ensure everything went smoothly and she was a delightful guide.

Brilliant day trip to Northern Cyprus

Published on Dec, 2023

Sirin is a fantastic guide who showed us all the key highlights amd sights of Northern Cyprus and provided detailed commentary about the history, culture and social norms of the region. She also accommodated a visit to Famagusta even though the original tour didn't include it and gave us valuable tips on where to eat and what other places to visit in and around Nicosia. Highly recommend her for insights packed experience.
