No way can squeeze 3 people in the back seat of a car , this to remind the operator that the trip is not a mere transportation ,but a scenery ride , a person can not be squeezed and enjoy the trip Once this is known to us say @9 AM , the day is over , so with limited time in Cyprus it is so difficult to arrange an alternative tour Bad experience. I have a picture and VDU clip to prove ,

donbaz91

it was a terrible experince they actually robbed me with kind reply " we have expenses we cant refund " , what happened that the bus was late other tour company was on site at same time and he took us by mistake he didnt check anything (booking number hotel rooms people names ) , while we was on ride with the wrong tour the original guide was in hotel looking for us , he says that he called us on mobile phone and no respond but for sure as any tourist will be no phone signal ( he can reach us on any internet app like whatsapp ) and he just goooooo without any problem !! when we realised that we are on the wrong trip the guide provide us with a ride to our hotel , then we called this trip company they told us by the meaning of no refund it is your mistake !! Sorry instructions wasn't clear and you came late so it's your fualt not us !!

This is an interesting trip. We managed to see a different part of the island. On the day of the tour it was very hot, but the air conditioning in the bus worked perfectly. The guide's story is very fascinating. Took lots of interesting photos in Larnaca. Liked the walk around Nicosia and crossing the green line. Had a good day.

Absolute terrible experience , packed into a small long wheel base Ford transit mini bus , needing to be updated 14 people , packed no room to move or sit comfortable throughout the whole experience . Back end of the bus you felt every pot hole for the 5 hour driving experience . Air conditioning, hardly working in 40 degrees heat, sweltering hot , uncomfortable, we will not be recommending, advised on website social distance and hand sanitizer, there was none. Bring a towel and swimwear was advised on website , not required, however pleased we brought a towel with us as much needed due to all the sweating. We will be looking into a refund,

Loved this tour. The tour guide was very knowledgeable. The main thing we saw in larnaca was the church of Lazarus. This was good. We then went on to nicosia and did the walking tour. This took in many of the sites of nicosia including the green line. This i hadn't realised was like the Berlin Wall dividing the capital in 2. We ended the tour by going into the Turkish side nicosia. This was good although I was very glad to get back to Cypriot side as the turks are very pushy when trying to sell you anything.
