Excursion to the Turkish part of Cyprus - Excellent tour, Olga was a very good travel companion very good understandable English speaks slowly and clearly. In the capital we would have liked more time. But all in all highly recommended.

Excellent guided tour, not to be missed. - Well worth taking this trip, lovely air conditioned coach, well driven but the highlight of this tour is Olga the tour guide, the places we visited were beautiful and haunting, Olga spoke passionately and knowledgeable about the history of each location, and the upheaval and loss of the people who were displaced when the invasion took place.
All together and excellent trip.

Very interesting tour! - Very interesting tour with a great guide!
On one hand it would've been nice to spend a bit more time at Salamis and Famagusta, but then the entire trip would've taken all day, so the time for the entire trip was just perfect.
Could've skipped the monastry of St. Barnabas tbh.
Varosha was the highlight and that was wisely saved for last!

Excellent day - It was so well organised from beginning to end.
The guide Olga was extremely knowledgeable and passionate about the Turkish invasion and the history of Cyprus.
It was one of the most interesting days we’d had in a long time.

Pick up disaster - Booked online with pick up time of 9.30am, waited for bus from 9.15 to 10am , no bus arrived
We phoned the company to say , but we are told the bus time was changed to 7.30pick up time, they then tell us they tried to phone to tell us time changed from, 9.39 but we booked with email , no email sent to us confirming change , they then have the cheek to say it wasn’t their fault , must have been ours for turni g up at booked appointment
We have just received a email from trip advisor asking if our pick up at 9’30was ok
Never book either this company
