1.Nicosia: Green Line and Buffer Zone Guided Walk

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 147 reviews · 2 to 3 hours (approx.) · from $83Our pick

Walk Nicosia’s Green Line with Eleni Ellinas, hear personal stories of Cyprus, see the buffer zone, and reach the Ledra Street crossing.

“This tour was probably my favorite thing I did on my trip to Cyprus. The guide contacted me in advance and asked if I was ok with crossing over to the north on the tour as another guest had requested this. I replied that that sounded great and so that’s what we did. We were a small group, so able to ask questions at any time and take breaks when/where we liked. The guide brought the history to life and I learned so much. The guide was very balanced in her explanations. Highly recommended!”

“While I was sadly unable to attend due to a (very) last minute work conflict, I’m posting a 5 star review here because I really think the staff has earned one, given how accommodating and understanding they were. Even though my guide lost a significant amount of time while she waited for me to find out whether or not I could attend, she was incredibly gracious and we’ve arranged to take this overdue tour whenever I return to Cyprus! I was really impressed by the professionalism and kindness of my guide and I’m confident anyone who books through this company will have a great experience—even if, like me, it the…”

★★★★★★★★★★3.8 · 14 reviews · 8 - 9 hours · from $81

Visit Larnaca’s sacred sites, cross Nicosia’s Green Line, and weigh the real value of this full-day Cyprus tour.

“To be honest we spent more time on the bus which on a hot day it turns into a sweat box, the first stop not everyone packs trouser and long sleeve tops for hoilday for the monastery. The last stop of the day should of had a couple of hours to roam it was eat and run no chance to explore to be honest. they need to change the itinerary to make it popular as I found it waste of money and over priced. A few people got lost on the last stop, fair play to the tour guide went looking for them, if we had a few hours there…”
