Segway through Nicosia’s old town with first-time training, top landmarks, coffee break, and a guided stop at the Green Line on Ledra Street.
“Les sensations du segway sont toujours aussi agréables : rapidité de déplacement dans la ville, sentiment de fraîcheur alors qu'il fait 37 degrés, économiser ses forces pour la suite du séjour”
Guided walk along Nicosia’s UN Buffer Zone on the Green Line with Eleni Ellinas. Venetian walls, Ledra crossing, coffee stop included.
“We had the absolute pleasure of having a private tour with Eleni on 22 Jan 2024. Frankly, we were not sure of what to expect when we were booking the tour. We met near the buffer zone at the Cyprus side. From there we explored the UN buffer zone and crossed the border into the Turkish side. It was quite a learning experience to see and experience a place frozen in time. You’ll be surprised to see a stark contrast of how things are quite different when you cross a short border. Being an history buff, it was definitely one of the main highlights of our stay in Cyprus. For…”

A guided walk in Nicosia’s Green Line and Buffer Zone, from Ledra Palace to the Venetian walls and Ledra Street, with Eleni.
“The tour was absolutely brilliant. So insightful, the guide Eleni has a wonderful story to tell and does so in a personable, engaging way. It was fascinating hearing first hand about the history of Nicosia from someone that has lived it themselves. We have done many walking tours in many other cities in our travels, but I can comfortably say this is the best one we’ve ever done. Highly recommended.”

Private Kyrenia and Bellapais tour from Nicosia, with hotel pickup, a guide, Kyrenia Castle shipwreck museum, harbor stops, and monastery views.
“I visited Cyprus for the second time this year. As I decided to get acquainted with the northern part of the island, I pre-booked a private tour to Kyrenia and Bellapais Abbey. The trip was led by Mrs. Sirin Suha. It was a spectacular half-day tour to amazing sites. And Mrs. Sirin was a wonderful companion - she speaks English perfectly, knows her job very well, and knows Cyprus and its history very well too. Therefore, immediately after that, we arranged an excursion to the medieval city of Famagusta and to the Troodos mountains. The last trips left a great impression not only because of the uniqueness of the objects…”
Troodos Mountains, Kykkos Monastery, and Omodos village from Paphos with hotel pickup, Byzantine sights, wine stops, and mountain views.
“The monasteries and villages were outstanding; I just wish we had not been so rushed. The departure was an hour and a half later than advertised (though we were warned) and as a result we were only given 45 minutes to see a village that deserved much more than that. But that is the way with coach tours.”
