A really wonderful tour given by Neofytos. His knowledge of history of the region and the personal stories he shared en route really made the trip unique and memorable. I was a little concerned about making the crossing as so much of what one reads online about the tensions of the boarder and buffer zone is confusing at best and frightening at worst, but I felt very well guided and taken care of by the iTaxi team. I highly recommend this company and their guides.

We had booked a tour of Larnaca in advance. Our driver was Maria, who was just wonderful! She immediately gauged our interests and adapted the tour to give a wonderful day’s tour of fascinating and interesting places to explore. She was so accommodating and so well-informed that we engaged her for a tour of Nicosia the next day. This was just as rewarding! We thoroughly recommend these tours - and Maria!

A very warm and friendly driver who guided us through this tour. No hurrying but a very relaxed way of visiting. After a visit to the site of Ancient Idalion we strolled through the oldest part of Nicosia and crossed the border to Northern Cyprus. Afterwards we stopped at the military cemetery for victims of the struggle for independence.
An interesting day with an experienced and warm driver/guide.

We went to 2 museums that were both very interesting. Also seeing the occupied part of Nicosia was very informative.
Having a driver made it a lot easier, plus picking us up/returning us at our location was a real benefit.
