Highly recommend this day trip! The communication from the tour company, our guide Theodora and the selection of local food and wine stops were all excellent. I would do this again in one of the other regions on the island on my next visit.

The tour was great, we visited exciting places (Famagusta, Bellapais Abbey, Kyrenia) and our tour guide was very kind and provided us with the necessary information about the sights.

Great trip to spend a day away from the coast without renting a car. Good wine and great food. Beautiful mountain villages - worth seeing.

Full day travelling to the far side of the island. Salamis was absolutely fantastic and worth the cost alone

Work fine with my iPhone but very slow internet connection.
