  • 4Could be 5 stars

    We had a fabulous time on our trip but could be 5 stars if there was more direction/information in Farmagusta & free time in farmagusta ghost town. The ghost town felt really rushed, unfortunately & that was primarily what we were interested in.

  • 4Famagusta and Ghost city tour

    Overall the experience was very good, the guide had an in-depth knowledge of the history,culture and smaller details of even the passing towns and centres of attraction. It was explained to us the driver of our coach was a refugee from the Northern territory so each visit to Famagusta was a personal reminder of tradegy.

  • 5Fab famagusta

    An excellent tour the trip there did not seem so long as stops on way. I think visit to inside famagusta wall could be shorter, and time added onto the ghost town so you can see more than two roads or have a swim. The guide ermonie (Emma) was great lots of knowledge happy to answer questions an absolute star. Was happy being a solo traveller on this tourr.

  • 5Roman invasion to Turkish invasion in one day!!!

    A very interesting trip into occupied Cyprus. Salamos Roman remains were very spectacular and especially the theatre. Onto Famagusta and the walled city. Very interesting and a lovely meal!! The final stop in Varosha was very thought provoking and almost apocalyptic. The entire holiday complex was deserted after the Turkish invasion and the hotels have been empty since 1974. A sobering experience indeed.
