Reviews for Besparmak trail walking holiday Cyprus
Christoph Curchod review 23 Dec 2023
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The perfect organization of the tour, the customized preprogram and the customized prolongation by the tour operator. And of course Northern Cyprus itself, a small country with a great landscape, full of culture and history and with great people.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
If you like the combination of nature and culture in a place that for Western Europe is still a bit of track, then book this holiday. It comes with nice and quite easy difficult hikes (if you are used to hiking) and with small but great hotels.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
Yes, it did. The hotels I was booked in belonged all to local persons and not to big chains. The packed lunches were made of local food.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
It was a great experience from the first to the last minute.Nils Morten Bøhler review 10 Oct 2023
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The eastern part of Cyprus was fantastic, undeveloped, genuine, friendly staff and hotel at Glaro Gardens. Great guiding, learned a lot about the history of Cyprus and about the community. Very local and down the whole trip2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Choose a travel period that is not so hot, preferably spring when it is green and lush. Ending your journey in Famagusta with an overnight stay there makes your journey return and surely a city worth seeing.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
It was set up for local hotels, use of locale restaurants, supported the local community in a good way. Hiking is a good form of holiday for the individual and take care of nature. Felt it was a good holiday form which is recommended. Easy to find your way around, helpful people, very good4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
Very satisfied with the trip. All thanks to a very helpful guide, she had great local knowledge and followed up in an excellent way. A trip that can definitely be recommended to others.Dianne Hiles review 25 Feb 2023
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The scenery, the walks and the kindness and support we received from the tour operator.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
Do it!3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
The tour operator is a small, local business so our holiday certainly benefitted local people.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
It was excellently organised. Apart from a couple of glitches in the walk notes (about which we have already given direct feedback) , everything went like clockwork. The accommodation was good and the airport transfers were problem-free. We are getting older now so for us it was the ideal balance between being supported and independent. The tour operator was very responsive when it turned out that one of our party could not manage the longest walk, and did everything they could to ensure everyone's needs were met.Christine Paydar review 22 Oct 2022
1. What was the most memorable or exciting part of your holiday?
The combination of hiking during the day, sometìmes not so easy, and the hospitality of our hosts.2. What tips would you give other travellers booking this holiday?
A little knowledge of the turkish language might be helpful, but many people understand english.3. Did you feel that your holiday benefited local people, reduced environmental impacts or supported conservation?
I think local people benefit from our holiday and hiking is a lot better than driving around only by car , though we were dependent on transfers by car. Having more public transport would probably be useful.4. Finally, how would you rate your holiday overall?
