Experience highly recommended! Go through history from ancient times to modern times through oil Middle Ages! The guide Catherine was very careful and very clear in the explanation. He speaks several languages correctly including Italian, and English is very understandable! Truly a well-organized tour even in refreshment and lunch breaks.

This tour was fascinating, also saddening to see, and hear the history Stavrula (I think the guides name was) was fantastic, engaging and spoke very clearly all the facts. We were a mix of languages but we all understood. It was calm and organised tour, we knew the run of the day. I forget the drivers name but he was so friendly. This tour costed a little more than others but it was absolutely worth every penny, lunch was included and was very nice along with a choice of white or red wine, beer or a lemonade plus a nice cup of tea or coffee included. I would 100% recommend to anyone who wants to learn more about famagusta.
