Jennifer about Christina
"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. "

Excelent guide
"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.

Diana about Christina
"Sehr kompetente und individuelle Stadtführung durch die Altstadt von Nikosia."
"Özlein has an incredible knowledge of the history of Nikosia. She is very friendly and we learned a lot about the past and the history of the city.The tour only takes place in the north part of Nikosia even if the pick up point is in the south. The tour is recommended for people who are interested in a traditional city tour, rather than in food tasting. We paid 230 € for two persons."
"My wife and I had a very nice afternoon with Christina. We got a lot of historical information about Nicosia and Cypress. The tour around in Nicosia on both sides was very interesting and we tasted a lot of local specialties."

Highly recommended tour
"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."

Best day ever!
"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!! "
