Not a stunning city but certainly a well presented historic tour - A very informative day that gave an excellent overview a towns passed on the way to Nicosia. A two hour drive with an adequate length break stop half way. The guide gave lots of background information to set us up for the city visit involving early history and the Turkish invasion. The drive time passed well and coach was comfortable. We were walked to the cathedral area and given great information. The cathedral was beautiful inside. Back on the coach for 15 minutes to be dropped in city centre. Another well informed walking tour with full orientation and optional border crossing information ( passport needed). Then adequate free time to eat, shop and cross border. To be better honest we were shown the best sites and the free time was adequate for us. We enjoyed the day and glad we attended. A very interesting practical history lesson but the city lacked charm and attraction for us personally. Yes it's a long drive, but the views enroute are good and the guide uses the time well giving information so time does not drag. The driver was very safe and all timings given accurate. The group was a full large coach and we needed to keep up close to the guide in the streets as no microphone used and information could be missed. Also the pickup location a little away from Google maps location and the company name on the coach different to the tour operator tickets issued. All passenger documentation accurate and an excellent guide though. Pick up was 8:20 in Paphos and hotel return around 4:30pm. Overall an excellent value and informative day out. Well worth doing once.

Day trip to Nicosia - Interesting and informative tour. Highly recommended. Our tour guide gave a detailed and impressive background to the history of Cyprus and the effects religion and politics have had on the island.

Great value for money - We got exactly what we wanted and expected out of this tour. The trip to Nicosia was comfortable with Emma providing interesting commentary en route. In Nicosia we got some time to explore for ourselves and maybe go over the border to North Cyprus, which we did. Both sides were interesting to see and the time provided was enough.

The walk around Nicosia... - The walk around Nicosia was extremely interesting and our guide was very knowledgeable. The advertisement should make clearer the length of time that the walking tour takes. (Up to 2 hrs). It mentions that it’s not suitable for wheel chair users but no advise for anyone who is limited physically and would find the pace too demanding.

Nicosia day out - Prompt, convenient coach pick up. Excellent driver and guide. Latter most informative. Nicosia very interesting city and we crossed the Green Line to explore the Turkish side. It is a long way and a lot of time therefore spent on the coach. Not a lot of time afforded in the city and advisable to take a packed lunch there for affording maximum time to sightsee. Very good value excursion though.

Interesting day trip - The price of the trip was good The bus was on time - full coach of people, over 1 hrs to collect everyone up and down. The guide was very professional /I observed the guide can be very abrupt with answers. Not enough time in Nicosia 2 1/2 hrs. I expected more time to spend there. She was very one sided about the history and made us afraid to cross the Turks side. She said that you MUST be on time if not the coach would leave us. Most people came back at the coach very early.
