Highly recommend
Another great tour . Again we had Viola who was explained all about the areas we visited . Kourion archeological site was fantastic . If you can get longer tours here please do . There is so much to see and the views are beautiful. Then to Kolossi castle , entry is €2.50 . Nice gift shop , you can get drinks here too. Limassol free time I visited the castle €4.50 entry but it was really good , good displays and went right to the top for views of the city . Lots of nice shops and places to eat / drink . Fantastic guide and driver . Highly recommend this tour .

Good educational trip
Very reliable service the coach arrived at the scheduled time and was fully air conditioned.We loved the Roman arena that you get to see on this trip and its about the best one we have seen.We also enjoyed seeing both the castles especially Limassol.The tour guide was very informative and did make a point of making sure all the guests were with her and did keep counting us all incase someone was missing which in my excursion experiences they dont always do so that showed a caring attitude. Our trip was a good educational experience without a long coach trip. Thank you

Very nice day. Saw a lot and received a lot of great information from Viola. Thanks for this great excursion. The bus was already older and not very comfortable; furthermore, it was also not clean.

Nice day out to see some of the history of the island
We were staying in Paphos but wanted to see more of the island so I booked this tour as it wasn't too long and included a few stops of interest. The bus was comfortable and included air con and the guide was friendly and informative, not just at the stops we made but about the history or Cyprus and Cyprus in general. We stopped off at Aphrodite's Rock for a quick photo opportunity (what a view!) before arriving at our first stop at the archaeological site of Kourion. Our guide shows us the highlights of the site before giving us some free time to wander around. It's not a overly big site but there is some walking involved and there are shaded spots dotted around if you need a rest. The next stop was Kolossi castle, which was quite impressive, and there's a nice cafe nearby where you can get refreshments and a snack. Then it was off to Limassol for a walk around the posh marina and then to Limassol Castle.
To be honest, I'm not sure what the visit to Limassol added to the tour but we found a nice place for lunch.
Be sure to take water to stay hydrated, a hat for protection from the sun and I would recommend wearing comfortable shoes for the walking.

Great tour, had fun
Great tour, had fun. Our guide, Angela, is a sweet lady who shared many interesting facts about Cyprus with us. The itinerary was well planned, though I personally would prefer more time at the Aphrodite beach because it’s so pretty (if it means taking time from the other sites then maybe less time in Limassol). Overall I’d recommend this tour. The only small downside to the tour is that the bus’ air conditioning wasn’t working for maybe half the time, good thing we made stops and got out to walk around fairly frequently so the stuffy bus wasn’t totally unbearable.
Operator response
Dear Kiki,
Thank you very much for your thoughtful feedback regarding your recent tour with us. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the experience and found our guide, Angela, to be informative and engaging. Your suggestion about allocating more time to Aphrodite Beach is greatly appreciated, and we will certainly take this into consideration when planning future itineraries.
We apologize for the inconvenience caused by the air conditioning issue on the bus. We understand how important comfort is during the journey and are glad that the frequent stops helped make the trip more enjoyable.
Your recommendation means a lot to us, and we hope to welcome you again on another of our tours soon.
Kind regards,

Relaxing, plenty of time to explore, knowledgable guide
Positive and relaxing trip. Knowledgable guide, clean and comfortable transport, a lot of time to explore the sights. I wasn't that impressed with the sites and the city though but the overall trip was much more relaxing than the other ones I participated in from different companies.

Enjoyable historical trip
Throughly enjoyed all aspects of the trip. Guide was excellent and a shout out also to the driver, sorry forgot the names. My only comment would be having an extra 15 minutes at Kourian which woukd mean a little less time spent in Limassol. Would recommend.

Limassol, Kourion and Kolossi
Our guide for this trip was Viiola, she was fabulous - so knowledgeable and accommodating. For me, we didn't have enough time at Kourion - what an amazing site that is, when i return to Paphos I'd like to visit again and spend more time here. Kolossi was also well worth a visit - bonus was the coffee shop is good here too :-) Limassol disappointed us - we spent a lot of the guided tour walking through the private marina, not really of interest personally, and Limassol Old Town didn't have much of interest in it either, although the castle is worth paying to visit. All said, the tour itself was very well organised and went smoothly - info about pick up location and time arrived well in advance.
Operator response
Dear Meg,
Dear [Recipient's Name],
Thank you very much for sharing your detailed feedback regarding your recent trip. We are delighted to hear that Viiola provided you with exceptional guidance and that you found her both knowledgeable and accommodating.
We appreciate your observations about the time spent at Kourion and will certainly take your suggestion into consideration for future itineraries to allow guests more time to explore this remarkable site. It is also great to know that you enjoyed the visit to Kolossi and the coffee shop there.
Regarding your experience in Limassol, we regret that the tour did not meet your expectations and that the highlights of the old town did not capture your interest as hoped. Your comments about the private marina and the overall experience are valuable to us, and we will review these aspects to improve our future tours.
Thank you again for your kind words about the organisation and communication of the tour. We hope to welcome you back to Paphos for another visit where you can enjoy more time at Kourion and discover other attractions at your own pace.
