Troodos Mountains Halloumi Making: All Inclusive Workshop & Tour

An excellent well organised trip that was not only great fun but also informative. Punctual pick ups, very safe drivers and our guide Theodora was a local and experienced in providing everything we needed for the trip. We had a great time making the halloumi, a delicious brunch with coffee and lemonade and cold bottled water was available during the trip. We enjoyed tasting local honey, olive oils and donkey milk products! Spectacular views of the mountains and the day finished with feeding donkeys at the donkey farm. Thanks to Theodora and our other driver for a memorable day- well done worth booking!

We had an absolutely amazing day with Cyprus Taste Tours. Our guide, Maria, was great – incredibly knowledgeable about both Cypriot food and the country's landscape, while also being super friendly and easy to chat to throughout the day. As it was just me and my partner on the tour, it felt really personal, almost like having our own private tour. The halloumi-making experience with Loula was a real highlight. She allows you to get involved in the process (we were arms deep in halloumi) and treated us to a generous lunch filled with delicious traditional Cypriot dishes. The rest of the day was spent exploring beautiful villages and meeting some fun characters along the way. It was such a memorable experience and a wonderful way to discover the authentic side of Cyprus. I couldn't recommend this tour highly enough.

It was a truly pleasant experience — probably the best tour I’ve taken in the past few years. Considering what you pay and what you get, it’s not expensive at all. We visited five perfectly chosen places, plus had lunch, and the time spent at each stop was very well planned — not too long, but just enough to explore and enjoy each location. The tour had a friendly, almost private atmosphere. There were only five tourists, including me. By the end of the day, I didn’t feel like a solo traveler in a group of strangers — it felt more like a trip with friends. None of the places we visited were crowded; on the contrary, it felt like a kind of VIP experience without lines or pressure. My sincere thanks and best regards to our guide, Panico. His deep knowledge of all aspects of Cyprus, along with his intelligence and dedication to his work, made this day perfect and unforgettable. I’m already looking forward to my next holiday in Cyprus so I can take another tour with this company.

Panicos was amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly, and we had a great time on the tour. I would do it again.

We loved it was so much fun and learnt a lot of things about Cyprus. I highly recommend the halloumi tour

Georgina was wonderful! The group was nice and we had fun! We went to a lot of beautiful places, we tasted lots of delicious Cypriot food, olives and honey and we drank donkey milk. Thank you very much

After last year's wine tasting (very good), this year it was Haloumi's turn. Was interesting on the whole, but we didn't like it that much. What was a bit confusing was the "lunch" presented as brunch. I still expected something different than a bunch of things, sorry. The organic olive farm should present itself a little "cleaner" rather than pretending to be rustic. I didn't like it that much, but we still took some tapenades. The honey farm was very interesting and the presentation was characterized by high expertise. Honey was also in the shopping basket. The donkey farm ... is a donkey farm 🤷🏻 The products with donkey milk seem good, but you also present some by the way. Is right 🥴

I had a fabulous day experiencing aspects of Cypriot food, life and culture that I'd not had an opportunity to explore fully before. As someone with Cypriot heritage - weaned on halloumi from an early age - it was a real eye-opener, getting involved, from start to finish, in the production of island’s famous cheese. And then tasting the delicious fruits of our labour! Another highlight was visiting Lefkara, a picturesque village, and learning about their world renowned lacemaking techniques. We were taken to the historic village church, with breathtaking views, as well as the museum, where a curator shared her knowledge of lacemaking techniques past down from generation to generation. I thoroughly recommend this tour to those wanting to know the real Cyprus. Thank you to Panicos, our warm and friendly tour guide, for his local knowledge and insights.

A fantastic day , the cheese making was so much fun. Hi lights were also visiting the animals on the farm and feeding the babies and then having lunch, it was great being able to eat the cheeses we had helped to make. Later getting an insight into the olive oil production and honey collecting was also very interesting. And finally visiting the donkeys was a great end to a fully packed day. Demi our tour guide was amazing and made sure everyone had a great day. I enjoyed our walk around Lefkara and popping into many of the special shops in the village.

It was the best trip I had when I was in Cyprus! Wonderful arrangement, really thoughtful details, and the activities were unique and fun. I recommended to my friends.
