Welcome to Cyprus!
We’re Ascot Travel & Tours, a family-run company established in 1990.
Discover the island’s history and culture on our Grand Tour of Nicosia & Larnaca, blending tradition, heritage, and modern life.
Our first stop is Lefkara Village, famous for its lace and silverwork. Visit the Traditional House of Lefkaritika Lace to learn about this unique craft and see exquisite handmade pieces.
In Nicosia, Cyprus’s divided capital, we pass the Venetian Walls, Famagusta Gate, and the Archbishop’s Palace before reaching Ledra Street for free time. Explore local cafés, shops, or visit the Leventis Museum and Shacolas Tower for panoramic views — and, if you wish, cross into the Turkish-occupied area via the UN buffer zone.
Our final stop is Larnaca, where you can visit St. Lazarus Church, stroll the Old Town, and enjoy the Finikoudes Promenade with its palm trees, cafés, and sea views.

A wonderful day

5.00On this tour, our tour guide Chris served as both driver and storyteller. During the pleasant and safe drive to Nicosia, we listened to music and interesting facts about the island of Cyprus. Once there, we were treated to a short city tour with the option to cross the border into the Turkish zone at our own risk. Chris explained everything wonderfully and was always helpful. After plenty of free time in Cyprus’s capital, where we could also visit various museums, we continued on to Larnaca and its highlights. There, too, there was plenty of time for exploring on our own. On the drive back, we admired other sights, such as the large salt lake with its flamingos. Chris drove everyone back right to the hotel’s front door. A wonderful day!

5.00I would fully recommend this trip. Lefkara is such a beautiful village and I also very much enjoyed visiting the north side of Nicosia, due to the vibrancy and interesting architecture. The guide, Chris, was excellent, providing lots of information on the local culture and history.

4.00Good value for money. Picked up from hotel which is a bonus. Our driver Chris was very informative about the areas we were visiting and Cyprus history in general. It’s quite a long day of travelling sat on a small bus which isn’t particularly comfortable though. Would recommend going over the border to the Turkish side as it added to the experience for us as there wasn’t really a lot to see in Nicosia. Larnaca is a bit more picturesque and we enjoyed some nice food and a look around the church of Lazarus.
