    The whole day was a fascinating insight into the history of Cyprus particularly the 1974 invasion and effects on Famagusta and local area, superbly told by our guide, Eva who was, once again, brilliant!

    Informative, thought-provoking, personal story sharing and passionate … not your usual holiday experience but a valuable lesson for us all … I would only suggest some bottled water being available on the bus …

    We have enjoyed everything ?? the guide was very knowledgeable, with her experience as a local was very helpful with any questions asked by everyone. It was a happy, sad experience bit we're glad that we went with that particular tour. It is also cheaper than the original tui experience.

    Very enjoyable full day tour to the Turkish occupied city of Famagusta. We heard the first hand experiences of our guide about what life was like before, during and after the invasion of of her home town when she was just a child in 1974. We saw several ancient Roman excavations and had a guided tour around the part of Famagusta which has remained an empty derelict district from 1974 untill the present
