Famagusta trip

I had the distinct pleasure of being allowed by Ian and Mark to take the "Farma G" trip on Friday 16th. June 2017. Although I have been over the north side several times, I was quite surprised to learn more about the history in an hour and a half than in all the other visits put together. Ian with his laid back commentary and humour made this a very enjoyable trip. Both Mark and Ian went out of their way in being helpful and showing me a jeweller were i wanted a special ring made. That's been ordered and one of these two reprobate will collect it for me when it's ready in just over a weeks time. It wasn't until a bit later in the day I found out the driver of the bus Clive is Mark's brother and he handled the bus expertly negotiating the tight corner and traffic within the walled city. Lunch was superb and the EFES went down very well also. All in all, a very worth while trip, I'm now looking forward to the village trip

Famagusta Trip and Kyrenia trip( w/c 23rd May 2016

Just to say we had two fantastic trips with your company last week in Cyprus, I know the Famagusta trip has been going a while but it was so informative and made very interesting. The new Kyrenia trip was also very good, the timing of the trip was very good in that even though it was a long day, we had enough time for a look around ourselves without being rushed. I wish you all the success with the new trip and would not hesitate to recommend it and your other trips to visitors to Cyprus, I lived there fore 10 years and the village trip was so informative a lot of the information given was a complete surprise. Keep up the good work !

Great trip to Famagusta/Varosha

we thought this day was going to be bad when we were travelling as a group of 7 and 2 forgot their passports. Thankfully the bus allowed them to dive back to the hotel and catch the bus on the way back along the one way system. thank goodness they did because it was an amazing day. we had previously been on the red bus village tour 6 years ago and my husband was delighted the guide remembered him (all for good reasons I hope). travelling along the walled city of Famagusta was so emotional and watching the DVD when we got back home with the walled city and the destruction at varosha brought back all the memories of the day thank you and hope to travel on the red bus again soon

Famagusta

Hello there Alan, Just tell you who I am first see if you remember. We were on the tour mid October. Pretty forgettable with these facts. Let's see if you get me now. My good lady purchased two bags in famagusta and I got myself a wallet now empty. And you took the piss out of us for it ha ha And you kindly took the bag as ur own. Just like to say thanks again. Loved the bus telling everyone I meet about the tour and recommending it to everyone. I for sure will be back to Cyprus and most certainly making sure I do your tour agin. Enjoy the winter

Famigusta

A brilliant trip and insight to the events of 1974. Answered a lot of questions for us. Alan our guide and Helen our driver were great. Thoroughly enjoyed the trip despite the rain and military parade! Worth every penny or euro! Thank you for a really enjoyable day Rob (always laughing) and Jackie

Tour.

I enjoyed the tour on Millie, Allan is a right funny guy and he was very entertaining. I was amazed at the History of The Turks and the Cypriots, nothing of which i knew about until i went on the tour. Thankyou all for a wonderful Three hour tour.

Fantastic memorable day

I feel really privileged to have been able to go on The Red Bus today and see the amazing town of Famagusta with such an informative and helpful guide. We laughed, we learned, we shopped, we ate and we swam in the ghost resort of Varoshia, failing to spot any turtles but being no less disappointed as our day had been brilliant from start to finish. Would just like to thank Clive and Alan for all the hard work they put in to making our day so interesting and fun. Thanks so much, worth every penny.

Famagusta tour

Hi Alan & Helen, Just a few words to say a masive thank you for the very informative tour of famagusta you gave. We have been to cyprus several times & thought about going over the border to the turkish side of the island but didn't know which operator to go with. We went with red bus on 6/10/2015 & had a fantastic tour..we also purchased the dvd which has loads of fantastic photos....Keep up the good work & we hope to see you soon ..regards Peter & Elaine from Bolton...

Famagusta Tour 07.10.15

Thanks to Alan and Driver Clive for a really interesting, humorous and informative trip. Despite the ban on photographs still managed to get some great shots of the day and captured the atmosphere and sites. Even the few spots of rain on the way back added to the fun.

Famagusta tour

I went on this tour on Saturday 3 October 2015 while holidaying in Cyprus. This tour was not only enjoyable and fact full but it was a eye-opener into the history of Cyprus and it was incredible to witness and learn about the devastation of the town of famagusta and the ghost town (Varosha). To be able to witness at first hand what damage was left behind was very heartbreaking and i could not imagine the fear the Cypriots went through. The tour guides where very friendly and gave great detailed information through out the tour. I would definitely recommend anyone travelling to Cyprus to take time out and experience the tour it really is a eye opener and a great trip to take.

Mandy Whiteman 9/15/2015 3:54 PM
Red bus trip all day Famagusta

This trip was great thoroughly enjoyed all of the trip. Helen and Alan made the day enjoyable from start to finish. Very friendly and a great tour guide. We went on 3 trips this holiday and this was the best one. I recommend this trip when you visit Cyprus

Famagusta and ghost resort

Had a great day visiting Famagusta and the ghost resort. Alan our guide was great his knowledge of the history of Cyprus was really informative. This was the best excursion i have been on and everything about it was just great!! Will definately do this trip next time we come out to Cyprus. p.s not forgetting Helen our driver couldn't ask for a better driver and smooth ride. Many thanks to you all for an unforgettable and enjoyable day out. Ken Spillett

3hour trip - Famagusta and villages

Just wanted to say what a fantastic 3hour very informative trip we had on Thursday 3/9/15 with Helen driving and Alan chatting, they made this trip so amazing for us and we just wanted to let you know and we will spread the word, when we come back to this beautiful island we will do the all day trip for sure, we found out so much information that none of us in our little party knew, Alan made it so interesting and fun. Well done the ' Original Red Bus Company ' we absolutely loved it and thanks again for making our holiday to Cyprus such a memorable one. Cheers Leigh xx

Red Bus Tour

We booked the red bus tour trip to Famagusta towards the end of our holiday in Cyprus and so glad we did. We have been on trips in the past and this is by far the best. Alan our guide was really friendly along with Helen our driver and the knowledge of the area and past events was fabulous. My son is only 8 years old and loved it so much so he's using the red bus tour as his holiiday school project. Book this tour for a great and fun day out.

original red bus

Hi all, we as a family have been going to Cyprus every year for 30+ years. We always book onto the ORIGINAL red bus. The guys always remember our faces and are so so friendly. There usually is around 11 of us, ages ranging from 3 - 81. It is full of sights and facts and each year we pick up something new. We ALL come away smiling. Its a nice way to break the holiday up and to see some culture. We will continue to use this service as not only is it factual, the guys make it a real good laugh. Highly recommended as these are a small company with genuine tour guides who also do a lot of charity work. They also go out of their way to meet any needs and are exceptional with young children. Love them 😁 x

John Watson 8/11/2015 4:28 PM
Great tour today

This Famagusta tour is simply a must with this company, very informative, very interesting. Alan and Helen made it a delight today, and looked after us very well. Do not get mistaken for pale imitations, this is THE company to go with.

Catherine Hollis 8/10/2015 11:10 AM
Fantasic trip, full of laughs and learning

I went on the Village tour with my mum and we did not stop laughing and learning for 4 hours, this was money well spent and would wished we had done it earlier on our holiday, so we could have had time to do the longer one to Famugusta. We were part of the "Crocodile Dundee" trip, (I did get a photo of the Paul Hogan lookilike but can't upload it here !!! Thank you Alan and Helen for a fab morning out xxx

Michael and Karen Wimpenny 8/3/2015 10:02 AM
Village Tour

This year decided to do the village tour went on the fab Famagusta day last year. Another absolutely fab trip. We were with Alan and Helen again. From beginning to end we were entertained by Alan's informative commentary and quirky quips. Helen has a lot to put with lol. Trip is 3 hours driving through local villages seeing how the Cypriots live and work. Alan shared lots of info about the area we wouldn't have known without this trip. Alan is passionate about the service he provides attending to all passengers needs making you feel special like friends. Useful points Only book "The original red bus tour" as there are bogus ones with non English commentary Take towels even though the village trip doesn't include a swim they are useful to put on the seats as upstairs seats do get hot. Where sunscreen especially on your forehead as wind makes temperature deceptive. Book both trips you won't be disappointed Thank you Alan you helped make our holiday again Karen and Michael X

MUST DO TRIP

While on holiday in Cyprus this year we did the red bus tour for the third time. Done the village tour this year but have also done the Famagusta trip, both of which are excellent. Alan who runs the trip is very informative and obviously done a lot of homework before setting up this business The village tour takes you up to the dividing line which is crazy, the Turkish watching the Cypriot and the UN watching them both. All the way you are given history about the1974 invasion. Fascinating stuff. Done the Famagusta trip two year ago and again are given a lot of interesting history about Cyprus. The Famagusta trip takes you to the most beautiful beach you will ever see. Quite sad that it's in the northern part of the island and hardly used. Looking out to sea the water is crystal clear with turtles but turn around and just a few yards away is the total devastation of hotels after the invasion If you only do one trip in Cyprus do one of the Red Bus Tours, you will not regret it

Famagusta day trip

We had a great day out with red bus. The staff had a lot of knowledge and facts, but it was in no way boring and can be enjoyed by any age. Varosha was so interesting to see, especially after reading books like The Sunrise by Victoria Hilsop. We had great fun snorkelling, looking out for turtles. We're really glad we decided to do the famagusta day trip with red bus and its top of the list for when family and friends visit Cyprus. Thanks for some great memories! Jess and Tom, Worcester England

Redbus

Had a great day with our teen boys. We live in a private house in paralimni and we have seen over to the other side from firemans bay. So we went and the day was topped when the boys went swimming and petting the wild sea turte . Thanks to Owen and Helen for a great day from the Norwegians.

Fantastic day out

Hello, Just wanted to say a massive thanks to everyone. My group, 6 adults and 1 child came out on the Famugusta full day tour, and highly recommend it to anyone. Great thanks to our driver and guide, who were superb, making sure we knew where we were going in our freetime, providing brilliant tourist information, (even stopped us paying for a toilet, when they had some great contacts in all the bars and restaurants who were more than willing to let Red Bus customers pop in and use the facilities) Big thanks to Michelle and Sandy who organised the booking, made sure we were aware of what was going on, and remembered our booking request from months ago, but still followed up everything, getting back in touch with us as soon as were able to book, so we didn't miss out. (previous year we booked too late and everything was full, gutted!) A great day was had by all, and thanks again!!

red bus tours

My hubby and I did both the tours with Alan and Helen and had great days both days. Alan was very informative regarding the tours and the history of Cyprus. My husband being a Chelsea supporter experienced friendly banter with Alan which made the days more pleasurable. We are returning to Cyprus next year and will definately do the tours again. We watched the Famagusta dvd today which was well worth 10 Euros. Thanks to Alan anf Helen for great days out

Red Bus Famagusta trip

We had a fantastic day with this company. Lots of information throughout. Don't hesitate to take this very enjoyable tour. For those of you whose appetite is stimulated by all the information given, you might like to read the following books. Small Wars By Sadie Jones The Sunrise by Victoria Hislop In The Land of Aphrodite by Libby Rowan-Moorhouse The Aphrodite Plot by Michael Jansen There are dozens more books available ----- Happy reading

Shane Jones 6/26/2015 11:14 PM
Fantastic excursions with the original red bus

We have visited Cyprus for 5 consecutive years now and each year we always book the original red bus tours. These tours are great value for money and take you through the history of Cyprus right up to the Turkish invasion of 1974. The staff are all English and there hospitality and knowledge is out standing. I would defiantly recommend you book these tours whilst visiting Cyprus, Just make sure you book the ORIGINAL red bus.

Famagusta trip 25/6/2015

Had a fantastic day today couldn't fault it,Ian is a very good guide with a vast knowledge and dave is a really good driver very smooth ride all day nothing was to much trouble even dropping us back at our hotel at the end. The trip is full of things to see and lots of history being that close to verosha was strange seeing all the abandoned building but also seeing it was one of the reasons we all did the trip. I would recommend anyone visiting Cyprus to go on this trip.

Half day village tour

Thank you to Ian and Dave for a fabulous half day village tour on Tuesday 19th May 2015. Good advice about taking a towel and plenty of sun cream and water as it was very hot. The tour itself was very informative without being boring. Ian was a very funny guy. The fruit at the half way stop was delicious and we brought some but there was no obligation to do so. Thanks again Redbus and hopefully we'll do the full day tour next year.

Alan & Sandra McLaren 1/2/2015 2:18 PM
Famagusta

My wife and I have been on the trip twice both times to Famagusta (2013 and 2014) and we,ll certainly be going again this year (2015). The trips are both informative, entertaining and the bus ride is a really great way to see parts of Cyprus you wouldn,t normally visit. Looking forward to seeing you in August....

Famagusta Trip 30.10.14

Had the best time with Alan and Helen on Red Bus FamagustaTour (last but one of the season). Fun and history, Alan is a font of knowledge. We had a a bit of rain (but it didn't dampen anyone's spirit). Snorkelling in Constantia Bay provided a glimpse of a baby turtle for my partner - which made his holiday! Thank you for a really great day, we hope to be back to do the red village tour in 2015, will recommend your trips to everyone we know.

Lee Sandys 10/31/2014 4:57 PM
End of season October 2014

Just like to say that if you have not been on this trip yet you should do so when you have the opportunity. Great day out and great commentary by Dave throughout the day. Also thanks to Dave the driver, you really were better than 3 out of 10! Our day was dampened somewhat by the sudden storm that turned the city into a lake and the bus into a motorboat. Things soon dried up and I would like to thank the guys for the replacement t-shirt which I will take pleasure in wearing on my next trip. Cheers

We went on the Famagusta day trip on the 16th with Alan and Helen. It was a very informative and enjoyable trip. The knowledgeable insight given by Alan & Helen really made you think. We will book the Village tour when we return to Cyprus. We recommend this tour to anybody who wants to know more about the Island. Thanks for a great day out.
