Fantastic day out - The guide was amazing so full of knowledge. The stops were fast but you see so much. It is worth crossing the border at the capital and having a meal in the cultural centre square in North Cyprus. Amazing atmosphere. I would by-pass the stalls as you will waste time. If you are interested in history the guide knows literally everything!!

Trip to Nicosia (Lefkosia) - In the beginning of May we were in Paphos and have booked three of the agency's day trips. This was our third and final excursion to Nicosia (originally named in Greek Lefkosia). On the way to the capital we visited the village of Lefkara and on the way back from Nicosia we visited Larnaca. A highlight for me was visiting the Church of Saint Lazarus in Larnaca. The trip allows you to visit many different places and our great guide Viola told us a lot about both history and modern Cyprus. As with the other excursions of the agency everything was very well organized. Although the group was large, the trip went according to plan. Viola is a great tour guide, she handled every situation wonderfully.

Well worth it - All the sites visited well worth it. It was too much to cram in one day. Not enough time spent at each location. Better off doing the visits over two days

A very long but interesting day - We did have a wonderful day but for a 9hr trip most of that is spent travelling on the coach. However we do appreciate that if you want to see the capital Nicosia then you need to drive there! Our guide Viola was wonderful. Very friendly, knowledgeable and took time to chat with all passengers. Larnaca & the church of St Lazarus is incredibly interesting. From constructor, a small reminder for customers to bring their passports for the chance to cross the border. Unfortunately we missed out on that. We also book our Cyprus trips through constructor and it seems rather obvious that this is a relatively new trip (apologies if I’m wrong). A very, very long day but would recommend this company as always.
