Perfect tour to Troodos mountains

The trip to the mountains was exceptional! The guide, Antonis, was a great guy; we had a nice chat throughout the journey. The places that we visited were very local; the vibes were great! If you love the mountains and exploring local culture, as well as trying out the local produce — you are in for a treat!

Disappointing for the price and taken basically to touristic places

The visits were interesting but could have been a little more in depth, more explanations and more understanding. It felt a little like going from place to place for their marketing speech and then guests expected to buy. It wasn’t really anymore than 3 locations selling you things. The drive was nice, the guide was nice but didn’t add too much value. Luckily the other guests on the tour were interesting to chat with. The lunch location we were taken to was sub-par in terms of food quality.

Operator response

We’re sorry to hear that the tour left you with an unusual impression. As the name “Meet the Locals of Troodos” suggests, this experience is focused on visiting and interacting with people who live and work in the mountain villages. Some stops, such as the rose factory and the winery, do offer their products for sale on-site; however, tasting, spending time, and enjoying these places never obligates our guests to make a purchase. We’d also like to note that the itinerary includes several experiences not related to shopping, including a visit to Milomeris Waterfall, breakfast at a traditional halloumi farm, and time in the beautiful village of Omodos. In Omodos, our guests are given free time and complete freedom to choose if and where they would like to enjoy lunch. Our intention is always to provide an authentic, relaxed experience that highlights local culture, nature, and traditions, and we appreciate the opportunity to clarify this for future guests.

Nice one

More than I was expecting. Small group, nice tour guide. Just study Omodos town a bit to know where to go to as you will be on your own wandering around it.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're delighted the tour exceeded your expectations and that you enjoyed the small-group experience. Omodos is a charming village with plenty to discover at your own pace, and we're glad you had time to explore it. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back for another unforgettable Cyprus adventure!
