“Tour leader was knowledgeable and outstanding. The coach Air condition was not working as it should and there was a heat wave of about 42 degrees, so it was too hot in the coach. Worst part was crossing over to the Turkish side and being told that branded goods may be confiscated by Cypriot customs since goods may be fake. There are only shops on that side, so we wasted our time. Not worth the time and money for this tour.”
