    A real experience. Unusual and strong ! The London 2 stores bus takes you to Varosha. And Heili, our guide explained everything. I recommand to rent a bicycle (cheap) or a scooter to visit the empty roads and stores. Strange feeling. A place not to miss when you visit east Cyprus. I do recommand !!!

    I would highly recommend this tour if you're interested in visiting Varosha. I went on the tour yesterday with Clive and Hayley. Clive was very friendly and welcoming as was Hayley and she was great at providing information throughout the trip there. I booked through the Original Red Bus website and it couldn't have been easier, clear instructions of pickup point near our hotel were sent to me by email. They also take care of the border crossing and passport control, it really is effortless for you and the wait to get through the border was quick, I'd say we waited less than 10 minutes. I'd definitely recommend any tours with these guys based on my experience.

    We enjoyed our trip with The Original Red Bus to Varosha . The driver and guide did an excellent job. They were really helpful and informative. The bus was air conditions downstairs. You could also purchase bottles of water or mementos of your trip. All at very reasonable prices. I highly recommend this company.

    This was an interesting trip to see the Turkish side of the island, and the guides were very knowledgeable and helpful. I learnt a lot about the conflict and how this affected the people who stayed there, and we're involved and saw desolation that I would not have imagined seeing. When you see it on tv, it's not the same as seeing it in person. Definitely would recommend this trip.
