Educational, interesting and fun. - A beautiful, knowledgeable, caring, fun guide! Nelin provided great knowledge of the city and it's history through the ages, gave me great shopping tips I.e where to find authentic souvenirs, and food. All the while ensuring that I was getting the most from my tour. We visited markets, exhibitions, the green line, and more. I was extremely satisfied.

Excellent walking tour - This was an excellent value tour . Our group was small so we were able to ask lots of questions . Our guide, Nelin, was very knowledgeable about the local history and architecture of the area . We met across in the Turkish side having shown our passports at the Leda crossing . No problems both entering and leaving the country .

Good tour - It was very interesting as the guide was from Nicosia originally so knew her way around. The tour started over the border in the Turkish side. Would highly recommend.

Fantastic tour by Nelin - Amazing tour! Learnt a lot from a Nelin- she was wonderful, worldly, and shared her culture, country and its history with such incredible passion. She pointed out her fav spots, her fav artists and everything in between. Loved the entire tour and I absolutely would recommend this. Fun fact, she is a from a very famous family; ask her about it :)

Great walking tour! - Finding tours when travelling solo in Cyprus has been a bit of a challenge (unless I want to pay a full group fee) but Franz took me on a solo (or in this case a private) tour around the old town of Nicosia. He is very knowledgeable and well connected and knows the city and its history well. As a surprise bonus I got to also see a dancing dervish performance and that was the cherry on top! Thanks Franz! I will definitely get in touch when planning any future Cyprus excursions.

Educational tour in a cozy atmosphere - An excellent tour through the northern part of Old Nicosia with a lot of historical and cultural background knowledge. Not strictly didactic, but easy to digest and easy going. The two hours went by far too quickly. It was very pleasant and in a friendly atmosphere; You would have wanted to add another two hours! Thank you! Christopher
