With our walking tours, you’ll skip the mundane historical tours and discover the city through a local’s eyes. Experience a tour that will transform the way you travel to make it as much about the people you meet, as it is the places you see. Our local guides (Lokafyers) are passionate about their city and eager to share their knowledge and perspective. Since Lokafyers are not professional guides and tour occasionally, they provide an experience that’s authentic and personal, like a friend showing you around their city. By the end of the tour, you'll feel comfortable navigating the city and confident that you have all the information you need to make the most of your stay.

Overall: one could do the whole Tour by oneself by simply Collecting one of those free Maps from the Tourist Info Office! It was an OK-Tour; but I Bet there are better tours available. It Would have been much more interesting to actually Hear from a Local what this Division does to the people of Cyprus Visiting the Museum of struggle was interesting(and I have to admit, I would have Not entered without our Guide Leasing US there)
Wonderful tour!!

My wife and I had a wonderful tour with Iliana! We've probably done a twenty or more private tours during our travels through the years and Iliana is one of the best guides we have had. That she has experience as a teacher helps tremendously, but what separates her from the average tour guide is her enthusiasm and great personality. We had a wonderful tour of Nicosia with Iliana and strongly recommend her.
Very personal day with a local

I must admit I had no idea what to expect before I met Ute. As it turns out, she was an amazing German lady who had lived through East/West Germany, allowing her to make many comparisons (and highlite the differences) to the current state of Cyprus. Also, helped smooth my pass through passport checkpoints, which was made unnecessarily difficult by the officers. I could not have ased for a better guide!
