A great tour of both sides of the green zone - A really wonderful tour given by Neofytos. His knowledge of history of the region and the personal stories he shared en route really made the trip unique and memorable. I was a little concerned about making the crossing as so much of what one reads online about the tensions of the boarder and buffer zone is confusing at best and frightening at worst, but I felt very well guided and taken care of by the iTaxi team. I highly recommend this company and their guides.

Excellent tour! - Very much enjoyed this day tour. Maria balanced the time perfectly, hitting the best of Nicosia, and providing much flexibility at each sight. She was conscientious and very helpful throughout. A very memorable tour--highly recommended. Thank you iTaxi and Maria.

Fascinating excursions! - We had booked a tour of Larnaca in advance. Our driver was Maria, who was just wonderful! She immediately gauged our interests and adapted the tour to give a wonderful day’s tour of fascinating and interesting places to explore. She was so accommodating and so well-informed that we engaged her for a tour of Nicosia the next day. This was just as rewarding! We thoroughly recommend these tours - and Maria!

The way to Nicosia - A very warm and friendly driver who guided us through this tour. No hurrying but a very relaxed way of visiting. After a visit to the site of Ancient Idalion we strolled through the oldest part of Nicosia and crossed the border to Northern Cyprus. Afterwards we stopped at the military cemetery for victims of the struggle for independence. An interesting day with an experienced and warm driver/guide.

Best private transfer company in Cyprus - We have booked a few private transfer and tours with itaxi. Full day tour in Nicosia, full day tour to Agia Napa, and also transfer from Paphos to Larnaca. The drivers are so professional, on time and friendly. The cars are very good, comfortable and spacious. Their price is very reasonable. On the way, our driver has told us so many interesting things and fact about Cyprus. We thoroughly enjoyed three days with itaxi during our Cyprus tour and can definitely recommend it to everyone!

Informative! - We went to 2 museums that were both very interesting. Also seeing the occupied part of Nicosia was very informative. Having a driver made it a lot easier, plus picking us up/returning us at our location was a real benefit.

Great way to see Nicosia and around - We liked private tour so we could set timing. Car was comfortable and our guide Loucas was knowlegable and interesting. He gave us perfect amount of time to explore and enjoy sites on our own. He was open to options as well. The only reason for 4 as we did small group tour also 6 people and felt cost was more appropriate. This comparably was a bit pricey. Otherwise excellent.
