Experience the best of Nicosia with Withlocals

"We had the best time exploring and learning about Nicosia with Christina. She is incredibly knowledgeable about the history and current dynamics of Cyprus and Nicosia and she translates this knowledge into interesting stories. We saw so much in a short period of time and we got to visit both sides of the divided city. I would highly recommend taking a tour with Christina. You won’t be disappointed!! She made the afternoon fun and we leaned a lot. "

"Christina was exceptionally friendly and helpful, and her knowledge of the history of Cyprus and Nicosia is brilliant. The tour was a great opportunity to learn, also about the current social and political situation in Cyprus. I can wholeheartedly recommend booking a tour with Christina!"

"We had a wonderful afternoon with Özlem. She had a lot of interesting and entertaining informations about Nicosia and especially the turkish part of the town, the architecture and rich history. Also we tasted some local food and discussed about the actual chances and difficulties in society and tourism. It was a pleasure to get such an inview on local life and culture, I can highly recommend to spend some hours in Nicosia with Özlem. "

"We had a fantastic guide in Christina! My football team and I enjoyed it a lot. Nivosia is a special city with a rich history! Efxaristo!"

"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. "

"Christina is a very generous person with her time and food tasting of Nicosia, we visited out of the way places and ate as locals learning history of the city pitched at just the right level. We left with full tummies and with more knowledge than when we arrived."

"We had an amazing time with Özlem. She made it very easy to contact her ahead of time so we had no issues finding each other. She was extremely generous with her time and expertise - I don’t think our conversation ever stopped! We learned so much (and ate so much omg the food was amazing) and she even read our Turkish coffee grounds! Even though it was an expensive tour, we found it well worth it and would 10/10 recommend it to anyone who wants to expertise both sides of Nicosia. Öz, if you offer any other tours we’d love to join you!! "

"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!"

"Özlem was amazing, very friendly, and informative!! The tour went smoothly and was very delicious 😋😋!! Lots of history was shared too. Overall I had an amazing 3 hours and would 100% recommend to friends and family!! "

"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. "
