Reviews
Sirin is so knowledgeable and passionate and FUN. I enjoyed the day and learned a ton. I highly recommend touring with her.

Sirin picked us up at Derenia border and already told much in the car. She bought us local juice at Barnabas monastery. Then we went to Salamis, we only could see the Theatre, Gymnasium and baths (all close to the parking). Only odd thing we had to pay the entry fees ourselves, on top of the expensive tour. Famagusta was amazing! Sirin was herself also very enthusiastic about visiting all the churches. Impressive stories in Varosha, good to see/hear this side as well. At 15:00 already back at the border.

Sirin was a great guide and we thoroughly recommend her. She was flexible and obliging to adjust each day to our preferences and physical limits. Her tour covered our preferred points of interest. She has a good sense of humour and provided a rich understanding of the history, culture and realities of living in Cyprus. We had good fun and learned a lot. Mike and Helen/ Sydney/ Australia.
