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.

The guide was great, native and knowledgeable. It is good if you don’t want to plan to go to Nicossia or Larnaca by yourself
Enjoyable and Informative

Enjoyable informative tour , Chris our driver and guide was brilliant . Maybe need a little more time at the two main destinations for free time . But would certainly recommend the tour if you only in Cyprus for a short period of time .

This was a small group tour, but there only ended up being 4 of us on the tour due to the time of year. We had a fun trip with our guide, Kris, who had a wonderful sense of humor and gave us great tips of things to see in each place. In Nicosia, we went to the border of the neutral zone, went into the observatory to see a panoramic view of the city, and visited the beautiful museum in town, which is free. We visited St. Lazarus Church, did some shopping, and had some great food by the water in Larnaca. Overall, a fun day.
Funny and factual

Tour guide Chris was very knowledgeable about the places we were going to and history about Cyprus as a whole. He made the trip fly by and we were with another couple from the US and we're laughing most of the trip. Would hugely recommend this company and tour guide to anyone looking to tour around Cyprus.

The tour was fantastic with lots of historical interest. Chris our guide was knowledgeable and really made sure we had a great experience at each stop. Pointing out the best places to visit. As it turns out he's a local Hemel Hempstead lad! We had a good chat about his old home town. Great service and would definitely recommend Ascot Travels and Tours if you are thinking of booking any tours from Limassol. They are local and will pick up from your hotel in Limassol.
