      Across the centuries and Green Lune
      A stunningly memorable tour across the centuries and footsteps of history. Our guide - Mr Camel - was excellent providing background information and ensuring we enjoyed the day. All locations were wonderful and we highly recommend this experience with good communication from time of booking. Thank you!

      Great tour of Kyrenia, Nicosia, (+ additional/ separate tour of Famagusta)
      We were happy to have a guide in Sedat. He was pleasant, chill and shared good information on the places we visited, including personal anecdotes. In fact, we booked a 2nd tour to Famagusta after completing the Kyrenia tour. The lunch places we were brought to were lovely as well! We definitely recommend Sedat and Side Tours.

      Terribly boring
      The tour was boring and, of course, expensive for what it was. They charge 140 euros per person and the guide basically only wanted to stop at the cafes and bars he knew. He hardly stopped at the monuments that were on the route, in fact we had to tell him that we wanted to see them because he left without even going near them and he had no idea of the history of the buildings. Very very very very boring guide. The company Sidetour didn't even contact us to ask if the tour had gone well. I do not recommend it at all. I couldn't wait to finish the tour because the guide was really, really boring. Our recommendation is to rent a car in the Turkish area and do the tour on your own.

      Nice trip to Kyrenia
      We can highly recommend this day trip to Kyrenia. Cemal was the perfect host and guide who met all our needs: punctual, flexible, educated and open minded. He gave us a good and detailed summary of the cypriot history during the drive to the spots we visited. The tour was well planed and he was giving us enough time, as we required. If we come back to Cyprus again, we would book a tour with them again.

      Amazing Cyprus Adventure Travelling Through Time
      We had an amazing one on one adventure with our knowledgable guide Özgür. His presentation of the history, archaeology and architecture were fascinating. Our guide picked us up from our location, took us to an amazing restaurant with delicious delicatessens and dropped us off at the end of the day. This definitely beats going on a bus with 40 other travellers, well worth the money to take a private tour with a guide.

      Amazing once in a lifetime
      Ozgur was a incredible tour guide. Nothing was too much trouble. Spent time answering questions and giving us ideas of what to visit in our spare time. He explained every little piece of history and was knowledgeable. Transport was efficient and the hoilday went smoothly with a large group of us. Thank you!

      Highly recommended day trip to Kyrenia
      This was a highly interesting tour that we would recommend strongly if you would like to get a taste of Northern Cyprus. The tour itinerary was perfect, seeing some of the best sights around Kyrenia. Ozgur was a fantastic guide - highly insightful and engaging throughout the tour. We could not have asked for a more enjoyable day.

      Must do in Northern Cyprus
      WOW what a great day! Hiked up to the top of Buffavento Castle and admired what felt like the whole North! It was steep but worth the effort as those views were 😍 Then Ozgur took me for a lovely lunch in Kyrenia, followed by a walking tour of the city and I learnt a lot of quirky facts. Then went to Bellapais Abbey which is Stunning. Ozgur showed me around and explained a lot of history. I was also introduced to an ice cream like no other.....strawberry but the BEST strawberry icecream i have ever had 🍦

      Ghost town of Varosia
      You can cross the border at this point by car or foot. We choose to cross by foot after being drop off by taxi. We walked though both control points using our passport. There is tourist information office after Turkish control point We ask them to get a taxi for us which took us to the varosia ghost town €10. Once there we hired some bikes to ride around the town. You are not allow into or take away anything form the town (lots of sign and barriers) but you can take as many photos as you want. The bike rental was very cheap for a couple of hours and you will have to leave a photo card as security for safe return of the bikes. The ghost town is still part of the no man's land between Turkish and Cypriot people with the UN posts in between. All houses, shopes etc have been left as it was since 1974 (but time has taken is toll)

      Tour of superlatives
      Well thought through tour explaining the history of Cyprus and showing the stunning natural beauty of the northern part of the island. Ozgur is the perfect host and guide: punctual, flexible (I was traveling with elderly parents and he adjusted the itinerary on spot for them), knowledgeable, educated, open minded, welcoming but discreet. I wholeheartedly recommend this experience.

      5 different 1 day tours with Sidetour
      We did 5 different 1 day trips whilst based in Kyrenia taking in the many sights of Northern Cyprus. They were all very varied and guided by Ozghur. All our trips were well organised with good hospitality inclusive of the tour prices. He had a great knowledge of all the historical sites we visited and introduced to some excellent local cuisine. Ozghur was flexible accommodating various requests. Definitely will book trips with Sidetour iin the future.

    We just finished our Northern Cyprus All-in-one tour and want to say a big thank you to Özgür, who made the biggest effort to show us all the beautiful main sights in Northern Cyprus. Next to his great knowledge in history, architecture and religion he was super open in answering all our questions related to the island and its people and did not hesitate to show us hidden gems for food and drinks. He drove very carefully and equipped us with water and even an umbrella when it started to rain - so there’s nothing more to wish for ;)

    Our tour guide Ozgur was a Turkish Cypriot, he was very knowledgeable and informed about the whole island. He highlighted many specific details and went over and above to provide us with a full day of North Cyprus information. I would highly recommend the tour specially if you have limited time, it will be a great sampler. We were so impressed we will go back and ask him to provide us with other private tours in futures.

    My friend and I booked a private tour and had Ozgür as our guide, and it was an amazing trip! Super responsive on our pre trip questions, giving us suggestions etc, and I love all the information Ozgür gave us on both ancient and modern history of Northern Cyprus. Very patient with our 10,000 questions, that was definitely the most value adding part of the tour. Hiked up St Hilarion Castle, lunch stop at Bellapais and visit of the monastery, showing us beautiful viewpoints along the way, then a quick jaunt around Kyrenia waterfront. Salamis and Famagusta stops were good, but wish we had more time to visit Varosha. November was a good month in terms of the weather but unfortunately days are short, and Ozgür was too patient with us on the mountains (probably we should have asked about it upfront)! Highly recommend this tour, and Ozgür definitely gave us an insight into Northern Cyprus that we would never have been able to have otherwise!

    Because of the Corona virus the museum's etc were closed. Our guide was very considerate and said that we could cancel the trip and get a full refund or he could show us the northern cyprus that he knew. We decided to go with the latter and we were not disappointed. He was very knowledgeable and his historic knowledge was amazing. We saw and visited some amazing sights. He took photos of us, at our request, and was extremely patient.
    We did alot of shopping and he helped us with the conversion and made sure that we were not overcharged. He also took us for an amazing lunch in an amazing setting. I thought the lunch was going to be sandwiches, but it was in a restaurant.
    My friend and I had a wonderful day. Thankyou.

    Cemal was a fabulous guide to all the main highlights of the north of Cyprus. I actually had the tour to myself as a private tour on the day I went, as there were no others that booked that day. What a treat! We saw the deserted city of Famagusta and the center of the city with the mosque-cathedral; the Roman ruins at Salamis; the cute town of Bellapais, where we had a wonderful lunch and saw the monastery; and the castle, small shipwreck museum, and harbor (that is under renovation in 2023) in Kyrenia. I skipped the northern Nicosia end of the tour, as I had already seen it a couple days earlier, but that is included too where you will see the Buyuk Han caravanserai. I highly recommend this tour as a great way to see and understand the northern part of Cyprus with a friendly and knowledgeable guide.

    We spent a wonderful day with Özgür, on a private tour, visiting in one day all the most important attractions of Northern Cyprus. We feel very lucky and privileged, as our guide was so professional and attentive. In a very communicative way, he introduced us not only to the art and the history, but also to the culture and the people. We enjoyed every minute, and we are willing to complete the exploration of this beautiful land, hopefully also taking the other tours of Side Tours. Thank you very much!

    We had a lovely day with our guide Ozgür. He was spot on time to pick us up at our hotel near the Leda crossing. He showed us all the places in the programm. But the best part was his knowledge of the Cypriotic history , from proto history till modern days. His personal stories made it special.
    The lunch with pomgrenade Juice in a local restaurant was tasteful. So we definitely recommand this full daytour. It is worthwhile.

    An excellent day out in the Turkish occupied north of the island - a great way to see some of the famous sites in this part of Cyprus. Our host, Cemal, was an excellent, friendly guide who spoke good English - his knowledge of history was outstanding!
    As other reviewers have said, this is quite a fast-paced tour and a long day out (9am to 6pm in our case) and may not suit everybody. Typically, we had about 30 minutes at each of the sites visited. There is a considerable amount of driving too, I reckon about 100 miles or so, but we felt very safe in Cemal's hands.
    The tour included an excellent lunch at 2pm. (1h)
    I would recommend this tour to those who wish to get an overview of life on the Turkish side of the 'Green Line' and visit a few of the more famous sites.
