Carol – United Kingdom

What an amazing trip. Olga our guide was fantastic. She gave us so much background information about Famagusta. She really made this visit so interesting because she is so knowledgeable. It was a fabulous day out and I would recommend it 100%. You would be missing out if you don’t do this trip. Great organisation.

Peter – Bulgaria

Everything was very good, the guide was informative, the driver was very careful, I only waned more time in Famagusta since it was enough only for walk or lunch but not for both
