We had a fantastic day with our amazing guide! We were lucky to have a small number on the trip, therefore it felt personal and we were able to take our time and enjoy the experience. We had a lovely couple who had joined us too. Konstantinos is a lovely guide and he was very kind to our daughter too, making sure she felt included. Stopping in Konstantino’s village and meeting his mum (and eating the delicious figs she brought us) was a highlight, as was the delicious (and very good value) lunch in the family run restaurant he took us to. Highly recommended day out for all ages!
Konstantinos is a guide who grew up in this area. He speaks about the Troodos Mountains and the surrounding villages with a wealth of experience and genuine affection. Every stop is worthwhile; it makes for a wonderfully varied day filled with insights into the island's nature, history, current challenges, and beauty. He is patient and a skilled driver—and, above all, we had plenty of laughs. From ice-cold water to delicious wines, stunning vistas, and Cypriot coffee—we thoroughly enjoyed it! It deserves a perfect 10! Of was the best day of the vacation.
Good experience, kind host. Fun way to experience certain parts of Cyprus. A lot of local knowledge.
What a fantastic day out! The experience began the day before with regular updates from our driver/guide Konstantinos. On the day of the trip, we were picked up on time from our hotel in Paphos and joined by 6 other passengers. Konstantinos was full of information about various parts of our journey through the Troodos mountains. All of the stops were as described and during the visit to Odomos, we had a superb lunch in an incredibly friendly restaurant. I can’t recommend this experience enough and would encourage anyone who wants to see the “traditional “ Cyprus to book this.
Very beautiful discovery of the island. Our guide was extremely nice and interesting. Unfortunately, we were not lucky that day, because the forest fires required a readjustment of the route. The jeep ride was
This was an absolutely brilliant trip, our guide Mario was exceptional. Our family had an incredible time and I highly recommend it to anyone going to Paphos as it's the perfect day away from the tourist area.
We had a fantastic day with Konstantinos from start to finish. He kept in touch from booking to pick-up. A safe driver, and highly professional with great local knowledge. He is very passionate about Cyprus and shared fascinating, lesser-known facts that made each stop incredibly meaningful and engaging. Lunch was delicious in a beautiful Tavern (our sweet was scrumptious). Konstantinos runs this tour solo so you are guaranteed his top-tier, personal service every time you book. We 100% recommend this tour. Thank you Konstantinos - we look forward to our next tour on our return to Paphos.
Konstantinos was a Great Guide and really good fun . We all had a wonderful day from swimming in waterfalls to exploring Troodos to swimming by Aphrodite’s rock. Omodos Village is beautiful and we went to a wonderful restaurant with Great food and friendly staff. Overall a fantastic day and highly recommend Konstantinos.
Great trip with Konstantinos a fantastic guide. Couldn’t recommend more. Particularly enjoyed the trip to the vineyard with the owner a great host. Would definitely love to return. The German family with us had a great time too.
We had a great day out away from the hustle and bustle of Paphos. I took my 85 and 82 year old parents on this trip. Initially it was a test to get them into the vehicle but with the assistance of the other travellers we managed it and they had a great day too. Our guide was John. He was knowledgeable and chatty and kept the conversation going and providing us with local facts. Jeep tours are a great way to meet other like-minded travellers and we were lucky in that all our co-travellers were really nice and equally interested what we visited. John took us to a slightly out of the way restaurant for lunch, one where the locals go to. The food was local cuisine, very tasty and the portions enormous. Very reasonable for €15. A great trip and I wish I had more time to go on other trips with Jimmy's.
