    Well organized trip, but it was litlle too exhausting. In one very warm day 500km. Tourist guide and bus driver were professional and kind.

    We really enjoyed this trip!! My wife isn’t into bus tours but even she enjoyed it. I thought the time at each stop was just about right except for St Barnabas stop. Lots of people didn’t make it to see the tomb, 5-10 more minutes are needed there. The bus was really comfortable with sufficient leg room. I’m 6’1 and was happy with it. The aircon was beautiful aswell!! Badly needed with the heat outside! We found the driver to be good and the tour guide was excellent aswell. He was very knowledgeable and professional. Maybe the microphone could of been turned up a small bit. The first was very welcome for food and coffee, the food and coffee were fine there but when you pull in you will see a bakery on the other side of the road called sigma! The food in there was amazing!!!! Much more choice of cakes, sandwiches and pizza, I wanted everything in there. I went in there for the first stop and the second on the way back. We would highly recommend this trip. Excellent value for money.

    We enjoyed the day sad to see what has happened to the place i saw it before 1974 was a lovely city what a waist should be sorted to let people back in

    I appreciate the ghost city of Varosi. The guide was emotionally involved and reported his own experience as greek cypriot. The recent and painfull history of Cyper was graced by the beauty of the see in Famagosta.

    Great trip with a few stops to interesting places. It is a long day but worth it and was excellent value (a lot cheaper than the similar trip offered by our holiday provider). We were picked up from outside our hotel around 7.35am and were some of the first on the coach so did have a slight wait collecting everyone else. We had a short stop just outside Limassol for drinks and toilet break at a small coffee shop just off the highway and then went on our way again. There was a bit of a wait at the border where the guide collects passports from you but were soon on our way again. The guide was informative and gave lots of information about Cyprus in general and the history of the island. On the coach we were able to hear him well with the microphone but sometimes when out and about it was hard to hear but the tour was very busy. It was very hot when we went, we took an umbrella for Salamis because there isn’t much shade. At Famagusta walled city, we didn’t venture very far due to the heat but had a lovely cake and ice cream at Petek near where the coach dropped off. Varosha was interesting but also sad, walking round the abandoned buildings. The guide gave a short walk around and took us to the beach where people were sunbathing and swimming with the derelict hotels behind them. Again another wait at the border but to be expected with over 50 people on the coach. We had another short stop on the way back at the coffee shop again and arrived back at our hotel around 7,30pm.
