I admittedly already had a troubled and stressful arrival in Cyprus, but those feelings didn’t cloud my judgement of this tour.
1) I asked for the tour to exclusively focus on the division and how it impacts Nicosia. Despite my guide agreeing in his message, he continued to take me to sites completely unrelated to the conflict, perhaps most egregiously to a series of souvenir shops. I found more interesting things in random side streets than the exploits of the main tour.
2) He told me to meet him in the main square. I parked near the square and waited. Then he told me to go to a mosque and gave me directions. I followed the coordinates he gave me and I ended up in North Nicosia. He then told me the tour began in South Nicosia and asked me why I was in the north and where I specifically was. After I repeatedly showed my map coordinates, he told me he didn’t know where I was and ordered me back to the crossing point.
3) Due to asking for a 30 minute delay for the tour, added to the additional 30 minute delay due to the meeting point, I had to cut the tour short for timing reasons.
4) The guide was inattentive to what I told him, for example, asking me if I had arrived that day in Cyprus after I’d already explained in great detail my issues from yesterday in landing and finding accommodation.
5) Perhaps most importantly, my guide was noticeably unenthusiastic, walked completely without urgency, and relayed an extremely impersonal, surface level retelling of Cyprus history. I did not learn one thing from this tour.
Perhaps for this reason you will understand the rating I provided.

We had the worst experience ever with the local guide that accompanied us on our Nicosia tour. We understand the concept of ‘going with a local’ to discover a city. We’ve done it plenty of times before, and it’s always been a great experience, which is why we were excited about this tour. But our tour guide was absolutely clueless. He claimed the Venetian walls were built 2500 years before they were actually built (and by a different civilisation), and mixed up the Virgin Mary with Queen Elizabeth. We had to interrupt our tour after 40 mins, we just could not take it any longer. The company was ok, they refunded us partially for the money we spent (A LOT of money for a ‘local tour’), although we thought we also lost out on our only half day in Nicosia and for that nobody can compensate us.

We loved our tour with Ute. She was interesting and full of information about the history of Nicosia and how the city is divided. She took us to see where all the checkpoints are so we can visit the north side at our own leisure, showed us what effect the 2012 financial crisis had had on the city, and the best bits of the city to visit. Highly recommend!

Our guide was Miranda, she showed such enthusiasm and had researched everything we’d asked for in advance, the tour ran smoothly and she gave us great advice about the city and really helpful ideas for our stay here. We would highly recommend a private tour with Miranda.

My wife and I had a wonderful tour with Iliana! We've probably done a twenty or more private tours during our travels through the years and Iliana is one of the best guides we have had. That she has experience as a teacher helps tremendously, but what separates her from the average tour guide is her enthusiasm and great personality. We had a wonderful tour of Nicosia with Iliana and strongly recommend her.
