5.00Great excursion and great guide. After having been to north Nicosia on several occasions, we still saw areas and things we had not seen before. We particularly liked the time spent in Kyrenia. Really impressed by the area’s sights and vibes. A great guide surely makes the difference.

She also accommodated a visit to Famagusta even though the original tour didn't include it and gave us valuable tips on where to eat and what other places to visit in and around Nicosia. Highly recommend her for insights packed experience.
