We were picked up from our hotel spot on time. From the start our driver, Michalis, was very informative and answered our questions in excellent English and with good humour. The stops were well-chosen and at Omodos we asked for a little extra time to which Michalis readily agreed. The lunch stop was at a pleasant restaurant where the food was good and the prices very reasonable. Michalis made sure that the people in the group mixed well and he was interested in learning from us as well as giving information - the perfect guide. All in all, a memorable day, thoroughly recommended.
Highly recommend! Overall, such a great tour, learnt a lot about Cyprus, felt comfortable and well catered too. Michalis was very kind, also very flexible with us and took good care of us all!
