Visit the most talked-about town on the island, infamous Famagusta. This open-top bus tour takes you into northern of Cyprus. There's free time to explore the medieval sights of Famagusta's old quarter, plus a viewpoint over haunting Varosha – a once popular beach resort that has lain abandoned since 1974.

Tolles Erlebnis, die Zeit am Strand in Varosha war nur zu kurz. Man könnte Famagusta Altstadt verkürzen, damit mehr Zeit am Strand bleibt. Der Bus sollte unten klimatisiert sein.

Hayley and Clive are excellent ?? They where extremely friendly. The tour guide was helpful. . Only needed to ask questions they explained . Clive made a fridge magnet and keyring. Which will give me good memories of this trip...I would definitely do another do another Red Bus Tour. Excellent ?? 10/10

Ask the rep for a bus to Famagusta not a trip so disappointed with the rep and still didn’t get to see or the things I wanted to

The tour was excellent! Interesting with knowledgeable tour guides who made it a very interesting trip. Paul and John were exceptional

Travelled on top deck of open top bus. It was lovely. Got a bit hot when we had a 15 minute wait at border control. Paul our guide was excellent. Very knowledgeable and helpful. Great couple of hours free time in Famagusta old town then a ride to the stunning beach for a swim and cocktails. Paul was always around to make sure everyone was ok. John our driver was excellent too. Would definitely recommend this trip. 35 euros for the whole day. Excellent value
