Summary:
We had a difficult start due to our lack of knowledge however Sirin was so kind and helpful to get us sorted. She happily rearranged the meeting point and tour to accommodate us. She is very knowledgeable, informative and took us to places we couldn’t have found without her. We thoroughly enjoyed our afternoon with Sirin and learned a lot about the culture and history of Cyprus. She has made us think about future trips to Cyprus in which case we would definitely book a tour with her again. Highly recommend 😀

Summary:
This was the perfect way to learn about Cyprus' divided capital. Sirin was extremely knowledgeable. In just 3 hours, we got to see both the Greek and Turkish sides of the city and learned a lot about the history of the island over the centuries. This was a private tour, and Sirin was flexible with timing. The pacing of the tour was perfect and the short break for a drink was appreciated. Sirin also provided excellent suggestions for lunch restauranta to visit following our tour. We were very happy with the experience!
