Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"I would recommend Christina wholeheartedly. She was very knowledgeable, gentle and kind. A very inteligent teacher in her day job who speaks multiple langages and constantly seeks a broadening of her own cultural understanding. She was very tolerant and created a perfect walking tour for us. We had turned up late due to trafic, but it was not a problem and she made sure it did not effect our experience. She even bought us some Cypriot street food and indulged our interest in both Cypriot and Turkish Cypriot culture when we crossed the border into the Turkish side - I would advise a large tip on the conclusion of your tour, she deserves it. "
"I had the pleasure of being guided through Nicosia by Christina, an incredibly knowledgeable and engaging tour guide. From start to finish, she not only provided fascinating insights into the city's history and culture but also made the experience feel personal and enjoyable with her fantastic conversational skills. Her passion for the area was evident in every detail she shared, making it an unforgettable tour. I highly recommend Christina to anyone looking to explore Nicosia!"

"Soylem is a patient, engaging, and scholarly guide. She knows the complicated and intertwined stories of Greek & Turkish Cypriots like the back of her hand and is a font of knowledge about this history-rich island. She was a perfect guide. "
"This walking tour gives you an excellent insight into Nicosia, both North and South of the border. Soylem is an excellent host and has a very deep knowledge of the history of the island of Cyprus in general, and the capital in particular. All the highlights were covered but also things tourists probably never see. We had excellent coffee at a lovely bookshop called Rustem Kitabevi. You can ask Soylem to show you anything you like. The Great Inn is extremely fascinating. Three hours passed so quickly! "
