Troodos-safaritour van een hele dag met pick-up

Pick up fine although I had to put address in as our accommodation not listed. One couple had an interpreter and they did not stop talking whole 8 hours so we couldn’t hear driver well also they kept being late back to the jeep which became annoying. The advertised trip was not what we got it says see mount Olympus from the base (we drove by from miles away) it says wine tasting that never happened also it says swim in Aphrodite's pool nope it was a photo stop. The driver did point out a few things to see but because Jeep was tight space I missed them as unable to bend down and look. The guide was good and we know it’s not him writing the itinerary but I feel it’s false advertising. So if you do this trip just be aware.

This trip was absolutely rubbish

This trip was appalling right from pick up !! They had us down as Russian under a Russian name but took us as we were at “ the right hotel”. We stopped at a dam and we were asked for 120 euros payment but showed the driver the receipt of payment. We were in a jeep with 4 other Russians and the driver accommodated them only - he never told us any general information on the dam and we were ignored ! The second stop was a small village coffee stop with nothing to see or do and the coffee was disgusting!! At this stop we were then told another driver would be taking us into his group so we had to take our bags out of the jeep into his vehicle. Sadly he was no better talking to the front passenger and we couldn’t hear him in the back as he had loud music playing at the same time. We asked 3 times to turn off the music so we could hear - again ignored and our travel companions were German who he catered for solely Again we got no information from him regarding the tour stops. It was a waste of our time and money

Activity full of excursions in the nature and spirituality of the island, I would definitely recommend it. Special thanks to Vasos, our guide always available and very nice. Hi, Sunny!

We had a great tour with our guide Sonny it was amazing from start to end he gave us great information and really cares about our experience would reccomend to anyone!

The most special day, it was an amazing tour, right into the heart of the mountains , 2000mtr elevation , stunning views of Cyprus. The tour guide, Chris , was a super host and made our day special , we shared the jeep with 6 other passengers, and we all became friends during the tour. It included the reservoir dam near paphos, the monastery, local cafes, waterfalls , bars and restaurants. Lots of stops for photos and views . Also exciting off road driving in the 4x4 jeeps. Everyone enjoyed the day.

We spent the day with our guide Paco on this tour. Prompt pick up and all stops as advertised so it really packed a lot into the day. Paco went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable asking if we needed a drink stop, pointing out where facilities were etc. He also stopped along the way showing us native fruit and herbs which was interesting. Lunch in the mountains was beautiful and great value for money. Would recommend if you like to see things a bus tour wouldn’t offer you ! Finally great music played as we rode along with the windows down so nice and cool too. ( Everyone was asked if music was ok to be played) Thanks for a great day 😃

Initially I was in the back - the seats are hard, there are no seat belts and there is insufficient leg room for adults, so you have to sit at an angle meaning you actually see very little. It is a generally an uncomfortable experience- and worse off road. The driver also drove fast, overtook other jeeps and cars, and seemed in a constant rush. Having flagged my concern immediately about the discomfort in the back seats due to a bad back the driver asked people to swap …but left it to passengers to organise, which felt awkward as it was evident no one wanted to endure the back seats. The front seats are far more comfortable and you have way better views and you can hear the guide more easily. It seems unfair you have to pay the same price for all seating, as upfront is far superior. In sharing my discomfort , the guides did not show understanding, but instead mocked me saying what did I expect, it was a jeep safari and why would they use a jeep to stay on tarmac all day, and there were bus tours I could have gone on instead. The English speaking driver spoke very little to us throughout the tour and just gave a quick rundown at each stop. The polish speaking guide gave far more commentary to the 3 polish guests who mainly occupied the front seats and also checked in on them at dinner. Even though she could speak English, she barely spoke to the English speaking guests and only checked in to advise around lunch long after we ordered - again a two tier experience . Reviews suggest this company has some interested drivers who stop to show them things and interact with them throughout the day - this was not our experience. After hours of driving, our driver pulled up at the mountain summit and instead of telling us anything, just asked if we wanted to bother getting out. Choose your guides and seats wisely and then this trip might be worthwhile - otherwise you spend a lot of time driving , being shaken around, while seeing and learning very little . The Monastery was well worth the visit but at each place you have a rapid fire intro and are left to roam around alone - although there is not much to see in all honesty.

we were seated in the back if the jeep which was very uncomfortable for 10hrs. first coffee stop was too long and not worth it. adonis falls was a tiny trickle of water and not worth the visit. Venetian bridge was also disappointing and we were there for far too long. We were given 40minutes for a wine tasting that didn't happen because the shop owner wanted people to buy a bottle before they could taste anything. Finally, we were given only 15 minutes at Aphrodites birthplace -not enough time to use the bathing suit and water shoes we had worn/carried the whole day. The whole point of Aphrodites birthplace is to be able to swim around it 3 times and we were told not to get in the water because of time limits and this on a super hot day -where just being able to wade in and cool down would have made us much more comfortable for the ride home.

Interesting stops, too bad they're so short. The monastery was a highlight but unfortunately we were only here about 40 minutes. We had a fully booked jeep, which was fine but the guide sometimes went fast through the bends so you bump into each other every time. There were more stops than indicated. Maybe it would be better if they had a little less stops so the stops are longer. The guide was nice and gave a lot of information about the places you go. Good to know: the jeep has no air conditioning:)
