Small group feel — The tour runs with a small number of people, so the day feels relaxed and easy to enjoy. Knowledgeable guide — The guide shares useful information about the villages and mountain life in a clear, and interesting way. Well planned route — The stops are sensibly spaced out, with enough time to look around each without feeling rushed. Local food stops — Breaks are arranged at small cafés or tavernas - both great choices. Good photo opportunities — Plenty of chances to stop for views etc. Clear communication — Pick up times and timings throughout the day are explained clearly and kept to.
Our trip was excellent from start to finish. The driver and guide were kind, well-organised, knowledgeable, and had a great sense of humour, which made the day even more enjoyable. In just one day, we experienced the incredible diversity of Cyprus, from its beautiful coastline to the breathtaking mountains. We drove through charming mountain villages, visited stunning monasteries, enjoyed delicious coffee in a small local café, and stopped at a wonderful restaurant with spectacular mountain views, where we had a truly delightful meal. The whole trip was perfectly organised and offered a fantastic mix of culture, history, scenery, and local food. I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Cyprus
We were picked up from our hotel spot on time. From the start our driver, Michalis, was very informative and answered our questions in excellent English and with good humour. The stops were well-chosen and at Omodos we asked for a little extra time to which Michalis readily agreed. The lunch stop was at a pleasant restaurant where the food was good and the prices very reasonable. Michalis made sure that the people in the group mixed well and he was interested in learning from us as well as giving information - the perfect guide. All in all, a memorable day, thoroughly recommended.
Highly recommend! Overall, such a great tour, learnt a lot about Cyprus, felt comfortable and well catered too. Michalis was very kind, also very flexible with us and took good care of us all!
Tour guide (Michalis) was excellent. Gave us loads of history & visited several great spots in Troodos.
Very informative and truly a great guide. The tour is quite long but comprehensive - many thanks to Michael.

The tour is a well-curated mix with appreciation for nature, history, and culture. Michaelis is an incredibly engaging and thoughtful guide.
We have been looking forward to this trip for some time. Michalis Is a great driver and guide. Full of local knowledge. Great communication and convenient pick up. This is a full day, packed with visits to a wide variety of places monasteries, churches, forest, villages and to the top of Mount Olympus with great views. Highly recommended. Book this trip.
This was a great way to see the mountains and learn about the culture and history of Cyprus. It's a long trip with many stops along the way, but well worth it. Our guide, Michalis, was very knowledgeable and engaging throughout. Highly recommend!
