Troodosgebergte Halloumi maken: All-inclusive workshop & rondleiding

Amazing day, loved every minute of it. Very informative and also great fun. Georgina was a brilliant guide

We signed up for the tour after a friend’s recommendation and had the best time making halloumi, tasting Cypriot delicacies, exploring Lefkara’s famous lace shops and more! The staff were incredible. Thank you Cyprus Taste Tours for this amazing day!

Just got back from our food tour! It was fantastic! Georgina is an awesome guide! From making Halloumi, to visiting a very cool olive oil shop, seeing olive trees thousands of years old, visiting a donkey farm and feeding them! Literally the highlight of the holiday! We also got pretty lucky with it being just me and my wife on the tour! Highly recommend!

We enjoyed the small group halloumi heaven tour. Our guide Helena was very friendly, professional and informative. It was good to have a hands on experience with the halloumi making experience. The brunch after was delicious and there was plenty of food. The additional stops were a bonus and added to teh day and gaining an insight into Cypriot food culture.

We went on the halloumi making tour in October. Our tour guide, Helena, was excellent company. She was very knowledgable about Cypriot history and culture. She is very warm and friendly and really cared that we all had a great experience. We managed to pack so many activities and learnings into one trip. We visited a family in the mountains who product their own halloumi and had a chance to give some hands-on help. We also visited a donkey sanctuary, an olive farm, and Lefkara. At each stop we got to try some local treats and learn some history about Cyprus. Helena drove us to each place in a comfortable and air conditioned vehicle. We have been to Cyprus many many times but never have been on a trip like this - it was very good value for money. Next time we're back, we will check out the other tours offered by Cyprus Taste Tours.

My friend and I booked the Halloumi Heaven tour with Cyprus Taste Tours while staying in Protaras, and it turned out to be one of the highlights of our trip! Big thanks to the team for arranging transport to Larnaca – it made joining the tour effortless. With just six of us including our lovely host, it was a fun and intimate experience from start to finish. Georgina was the perfect blend of friendly guide and storyteller – knowledgeable, chatty, and hilarious! She shared insider tales and snapped photos throughout the day. You could tell she really loves what she does and considers the group she works with as her family during the time she’s with them. This experience was WAY more than just making some cheese. Like, seriously. We did weeks’ worth of stuff in one day. Highlights in a nutshell: - A visit to a traditional halloumi maker, where we helped make some cheese and later got to taste it warm and fresh during a lovely Cypriot brunch. It was everything. Salty, squeaky, melt-in-your-mouth perfection. - A change to milk some goats and cuddle a baby one. CUTE. - A walk through a peaceful olive grove, complete with tasting rich olive oils, dips, and other olive products, and admiring an ancient ~800-year-old olive tree. The green olive paste was to die for. - Time at a donkey sanctuary, where we got to feed and meet the animals (yes, even baby donkeys!) and sample some quirky donkey milk products. Don’t knock it ‘til you try it lol - A stop at a local honey producer, where we learned all about bees and beekeeping and sampled a variety of honeys and bee pollen. No hive visit, but plenty of golden goodness! - A short stroll through Lefkara village, famous for its lace and silver, with time to browse the little shops and enjoy the mountain scenery. Every stop felt intimate and genuine. No tourist traps. By the end of the day we were full, happy, and thoroughly impressed by how much we learned. Not just about food, but about Cyprus itself. Highly recommend this tour to any foodies, cheese lovers, or anyone who wants a break from the beach and a chance to connect with authentic Cypriot culture.

We had a fantastic day on the halloumi and Troodos villages tour. Our guide, Georgina, was lovely! She was really knowledgeable and clearly had great connections with the locals, which made each stop more interesting. Making the halloumi was definitely the highlight. We also got to taste the halloumi that we made, freshly formed and still warm, which was even more delicious! Would definitely recommend!

A must-do! Panicos was an excellent guide. My grandparents were from Cyprus, and this was like a homecoming for me and my family. If you have never had fresh halloumi or anari, you don’t know what you’re missing Halloumi-making was only one highlight of the tour.

Great tour experience. Especially Loulla’s home haloumi making. Our tour guide Demi was so well informed and very friendly. We really enjoyed the day. Thanks in no small part to Demi. What lovely young lady!

We were very lucky as my wife and I had the lovely Demi all to ourselves, no doubt because of the trip being in late November. After being picked up from our hotel by Mr Mamos, a true gentlemen, who was spot on time, we travelled to Larnaca to meet up with Demi who took us on our excursion. We had an amazing time meeting local people who were so friendly, Demi was very knowledgeable and at no time did we feel pressurised as she moved from location to location at a nice steady relaxing pace. We would definitely recommend to anyone as you see so much of the real life of the lovely Cypriot people in their lovely homes.
