“Unfortunately this tour was a big disappointment for us. It had so much to offer, however, the guide was really boring. He didnt engage with most people and told us the most basic information ie here's the airport, the trees.... We also had a Polish guide (which we were not informed) which sounded more interesting even though I couldn't understand her! in terms of the places Lefkara was amazing Nicosia was really interesting but wish we got more than 2 hours! Laranaca was good but again not enough time. this tour would have been souch better with a guide who axtually xares about its job. finally the coq h zqs…”

“It was well organized and on time. Our guide Vladimir made it very interesting and gave us a lot of information about Cyprus in general and the places we visited.”
Halloumi, wine, olive farms, Lefkara villages, and the Machairas forest pass, plus local food in Cyprus mountains.
“We were taken to some ancient, forgotten villages in the mountains, it felt like we were being teleported to a different century! I enjoyed the tour, despite the rain and fog, and the food we sampled. I can only imagine how stunning the valley would be on a clear day. Our guide, Andy, was fabulous! - knowledgeable, a good narrator, conscientious and an overall nice person.”
Aphrodite's Birthplace, UNESCO Lefkara lace, Limassol coffee and crafts, then cliff-top Kourion mosaics in one 7-hour day.
“Our Guide was very knowledgeable and cheery. The only thing I hadn’t envisaged was the people carrier. Luckily I was in the middle seats, but my husband who sat in back said it was quite bumpy!”
Larnaca church, Nicosia Old Town free time, and Pano Lefkara crafts on an air-conditioned day trip from Ayia Napa.
“Interesting city, blend of two cultures and epoques even more so divided by recent events Nicosia, especially Old town is one of the things you should see in Cyprus. Unfortunately, in August is very hot, and three - four hours free time is too much. Most of the people from the bus returned hour or two early and waited in the coffee shops nearby. Drive was also longer then said since there were congestions on the highway and too many stops... Also, driver was almost angry, didn't said hello, nor goodbye, even turned his head when passengers entered or exited the bus. Veru rude.”

“I had a really lovely experience with Roula, my guide. It was just the two of us, which I genuinely appreciated—it felt private, calm, and safe, especially as a woman traveling alone. She was welcoming, kind, punctual, and very friendly right from the start. I immediately felt comfortable with her, which made the experience so much more enjoyable. Everything felt relaxed and enjoyable, never rushed. She’s approachable, easy to talk to, and happy to explain things and share insights about the culture in a natural, relaxed way.”
Every kind of day out on the island, and the best of each.
