What an amazing experience and unforgettable time exploring the historical treasures of Cyprus. From ancient ruins to charming old towns, every stop felt like stepping into a storybook. The highlight, though, was the incredible wine‑tasting experience—rich flavors, warm hospitality, and a setting that made me want to linger for hours.
I'm really glad you enjoyed it. I had a great time too!
We booked this tour just a couple of days before the date and absolutely did not regret! It was a well-structured tour with a nice balance of nature and culture. Roulla made sure our day was filled with beautiful sights, tasty products and nature walks. The area she took us around is gorgeous even in misty January. She is a very flexible, kind and knowledgeable guide. If you have a free day in Limassol, we can wholeheartedly recommend this tour!

We were greeted by our guide, Roula, who spoke excellent English. As she drove, she pointed out areas of interest, native plants, and spoke about cultural issues. We visited a lovely waterfall, had a relaxing lavender tea, a fun wine tasting, and enjoyed the chocolate tasting. It was a relaxing tour. It was like being shown all the local sites by a friend and not like with a large tour. We were able to visit a monastery, and there was a large street festival while we were there. Roula explained the different foods, games, and translated as we walked and shopped at the stalls. After our visit, we were offered ice water, which we gratefully accepted. I would heartily recommend this tour for anyone looking for a low stress experience.
Thank you so much for your kind words! I had such a great time with you too and I’m so happy you enjoyed the day. Hopefully we can share another Cyprus adventure together soon! Warm regards, Roula
