Mind numbing - Amazing experience
Unbelievable what happened to those poor people they had no help so sad for them
And this all took place in my lifetime people even lost there money in the bank never mind everything they owned
And still there are no plans for the area

An interesting and important tour to take - An extremely interesting and informative tour, brought to life by our excellent guide Atos. His in-depth knowledge gave us a perfect insight into and understanding of the history of the area.

Impressive. - Impressive and sad to see. Were shown around by an old resident and this was therefore clearly noticeable, the pain at the loss was palpable. He could tell a lot and knew every building inside out. Our only advice to him is to keep his political opinions to himself and not start the morning cranky but maybe that was part of his cynical humor (which we could appreciate, by the way).

Eye opening, friendly, informative trip, highly recommend. - We had such a great time on this tour, our tour guide Astos, was amazing, friendly and funny. He gave us lots of information about the history of Cyprus and Famagusta, as well as his own experiences. The trip really opens your eyes to what the Cypriots have been through

Learnt lots and had a great time - Athos was great guide and explained sights in detail with obvious knowledge of the area and its history. My son(12) also enjoyed the trip, Athos had a quiz that kept him engaged and the free time in Famagusta was a lovely way to end the trip. We were collected and dropped off at our hotel.
