Reviews from guests about our tours and locals
"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. "

"Weiss genau was sie zu sagen hat. Top Stadtführung ;-) Bur zu empfehlen :-) "
"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! "
"Sehr proffesioneler guide, im voraus und gefragt was für Tour wir möchten: geschichte, shopping, essen, damit sie das berücksichtigen kann. Der Südlich teil ist eher nicht so aufregend, ist etwas schade von der Zeit, der nordische Teil umso spannender. Soylem hat sehr interessante Sachen etzählt über die Stadt, aber auch über die Gwschichte von Zypern. Später hat sie uns auch noch info’s /tipps gesendet was wie sonst noch anschauen müssten in Zypern. Sehr gut"
