5.00We saw everything on the itinerary and then some. Lucas was very knowledgeable about everything. Very flexible and allowed us to add and subtract items from the schedule. Great way to visit Europe’s only divided city.

5.00Our taxi driver, Maria is good. She is nice and friendly. It was very enjoyable to go to these two places with her. We were in Cyprus in Easter holidays and the festive mood was wonderful.
A great tour of both sides of the green zone

5.00A really wonderful tour given by Neofytos. His knowledge of history of the region and the personal stories he shared en route really made the trip unique and memorable. I was a little concerned about making the crossing as so much of what one reads online about the tensions of the boarder and buffer zone is confusing at best and frightening at worst, but I felt very well guided and taken care of by the iTaxi team. I highly recommend this company and their guides.
Excellent tour!

5.00We had booked a tour of Larnaca in advance. Our driver was Maria, who was just wonderful! She immediately gauged our interests and adapted the tour to give a wonderful day’s tour of fascinating and interesting places to explore. She was so accommodating and so well-informed that we engaged her for a tour of Nicosia the next day. This was just as rewarding! We thoroughly recommend these tours - and Maria!
The way to Nicosia

5.00A very warm and friendly driver who guided us through this tour. No hurrying but a very relaxed way of visiting. After a visit to the site of Ancient Idalion we strolled through the oldest part of Nicosia and crossed the border to Northern Cyprus. Afterwards we stopped at the military cemetery for victims of the struggle for independence. An interesting day with an experienced and warm driver/guide.
Informative!

4.00We went to 2 museums that were both very interesting. Also seeing the occupied part of Nicosia was very informative. Having a driver made it a lot easier, plus picking us up/returning us at our location was a real benefit.
Great way to see Nicosia and around

4.00We liked private tour so we could set timing. Car was comfortable and our guide Loucas was knowlegable and interesting. He gave us perfect amount of time to explore and enjoy sites on our own. He was open to options as well. The only reason for 4 as we did small group tour also 6 people and felt cost was more appropriate. This comparably was a bit pricey. Otherwise excellent.
