Unforgettable Cyprus Tour with George Michael - This tour was an experience to never forget. George Michael, our tour guide, was absolutely amazing. He tells stories that make you relive the convoluted past of Cyprus, while keeping it lighthearted with his humor. He even took a different route on the way back to show us some of Larnaca’s finest sights.
The boat tour itself was stunning; blue waters, and a bbq lunch that exceeded expectations. Plus, you get to see a lot of Cypruses beautiful coastline.
10/10 would recommend!

Fantastic Trip - really enjoyable. - This was a great day. I was in Cyprus on business, and as I was in Larnaca, was first to be picked up. George Michael (yes, that is his name!) - our driver - was obviously very enthusiastic and also knowledgeable about everything on the tour, as well as being an engaging and funny guy.
Old Famagusta really is an interesting place, and such a shame about the history. But that's what you will learn.
Cruise was lovely, two swims in the Med, seeing turtles, food nice, drinks reasonably priced.
All in all, I would wholeheartedly recommend taking this trip.

Very positive experience. - Everything about the trip was positive. George Michael, out tour guide, was very friendly and knowledgeable. He is passionate about Cyprus and provided lots of information on Cypriot history. The time in the Ghost City was a great opportunity to see ancient ruins and to understand the people of Cyprus. The boat ride went along the coast so you could see the shoreline and resorts. Swimming in two locations was easy although somewhat brief. Lunch was pretty average but appreciated. Only caveat is that the Land Rover's may not be well suiting to folks who have difficulty getting in and out of a higher vehicle or sitting in close quarters.

Worth It! - The boat cruise was the highlight with treats such as the lunch and the two opportunities to swim in the sea with the second time lasting as long as 40 minutes. I reckon late change of driver was a slight disadvantage but like anything you don’t have control over everything. Worth it, any day!
