I am Christos, a licensed tour guide in Cyprus for almost 35 years. Let me show you the real Cyprus with my tours. Guiding for me is not a profession it is a passion. In my view, people visiting Cyprus are not tourists. They are my guests. Hospitality is something found in the culture and mentality of Cypriots. It comes from within. It's part of our nature. Let me show you the real Cyprus where customs and traditions are still alive…. . Welcome to my place the island of love and beauty. I am an experienced guide and would like to show you some of the best places in my country. If you're into culture, archaeology, byzantine history, incentive tours, food and wine tours and special interest tours or like to go Local then get in touch with me. I am in the tourist business since I got my bachelor's in international hospitality & Tourism Management (4 years plus an optional foundation year) in Italy first and Germany then to learn the language. Then I got my diploma as a tourist guide from the School of Guides of the Tourism Deputy Ministry of Cyprus. So since 1989 I have been working for the biggest tourist agencies in Cyprus as a freelance guide for English Italian and German speaking guide as well as corporation with the giants of the tourist industry of that time of course we used to do the job in the very popular way of the time with large tourist groups. I used to take travelers around the villages, museums, archeological sites, monasteries, and painted churches. That was a pretty hard, yet interesting job to do. Despite the hardship so to say, I gained greatly in both the job itself as well as getting to know people, leaving new cultures making new friendships and of course gaining more patience as I had to deal with many people's requests at a time. You are most welcome to get to know my country where legends blend harmoniously with real history and archeology or simply relax, lay back, and enjoy the scenery while listening to my stories and explanations about flora and fauna, culture, archaeology, history, village's, food and wine customs and traditions about Cyprus. Looking forward to seeing and guiding you! - 35 years licensed tour guide - Bachelor's in international hospitality & Tourism Management (4years plus an optional foundation year) in Italy first and Germany then to learn the language - Diploma as tourist guide from the school of guides from the Tourism Deputy Ministry of Cyprus No restrictions.
