Amazing tour and total experience. The communications between myself and Sidetours were efficient and super quick. This was booked one day and we departed the next. Our guide Mr Sedat is professional, courteous and extremely knowledgeable. He also has personal experience of this modern day history. I would 100% recommend this tour and company.

Sedat picked us up at a hotel near our Airbnb in Alsancak and first drove us to eastern North Cyprus, on the way providing information on North Cyprus history not only from his perspective as a schoolteacher, but also as a resident who'd lived through the 1974 war. He patiently answered all our questions, no matter how arcane. He's the sort of tour guide we always hope to find. The tour itself includes lunch and all admission fees so there's no additional cost.

A totally fantastic day with a lot of knowledge and exciting guide. Who not only told about the history of Cyprus. But also about his life in the northern part of Cyprus.

Our guide for the day was Cemal who arrived on time and was extremely pleasant. During the drive to our first point of interest he shared his knowledge of the history of Cyprus and then continued to be a font of entertainment throughout the day. Beautiful scenery and variety of stops. Thoroughly recommend this way to get a taste of North Cyprus.

We had an amazing one on one adventure with our knowledgable guide Özgür. His presentation of the history, archaeology and architecture were fascinating. Our guide picked us up from our location, took us to an amazing restaurant with delicious delicatessens and dropped us off at the end of the day. This definitely beats going on a bus with 40 other travellers, well worth the money to take a private tour with a guide.
