Amazing day

We are a family of 4 (2 teens, 56f, 75f) and the adults gave some walking difficulties. From the minute we contacted for advice on whether tour was suitable to when we were dropped off at the end everything was top notch. Helpful and practical advice, amazing tour guide Vasilis, comfortable car and fantastic local experiences. So much information and such outstanding tastes! Who knew you can drink olive oil like a shot? How to smell it for freshness and what olives can be used for. How Hallumi is made and the taste of fresh hallumi was an experience we will.not forget. Martha the icon painter was so talented and we were amazed at what she did and how she painted such inspiring images. The lunch (jncluded) was wonderful and so many different courses and flavours. Great visit to winery and again fantastic information and tastes. Monastery visit was perfect. Just long enough and sitting outside sipping wine with a view.... Just unforgettable. The teens really enjoyed the views and the food and adults enjoyed everything!

WOW! What an unforgettable experience!

What an incredible day! This was without a doubt one of the highlights of our trip to Cyprus. Cyprus Taste Tours created the perfect wine tour, with beautiful wineries, delicious wines, and breathtaking scenery. Everything was so well organized from start to finish. Our host, Georgina, was absolutely amazing! She was warm, funny, knowledgeable, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history, culture, and wines of Cyprus. She made everyone feel welcome and ensured we had an unforgettable experience. If you're looking for an authentic wine tour in Cyprus, don't hesitate to book with Cyprus Taste Tours. We would do it again in a heartbeat!

I would recommend this Trip. It really is a lovely day full of holiday memories.

We had a lovely day on the Cyprus taste tour. Vasilis our tour guide was a really lovely man, he didn't rush us, was very friendly and professional. He drove very carefully through the troodos mountains and explain things very well. The pick up was outside our hotel and Vasilis arrived at the time indicated. The trip included going to villages and people's homes one where halloumi cheese was being made, one where a very talented painter lives an olive oil factory and a winery with tasting of produce in all. The country restaurant we stopped at for lunch was very clean, the staff lovely and the food delicious. The company who arranged the trip was also very efficient and communicated with us well. They even emailed over a link to download photos that Vasilis had taken that day All in all a very enjoyable day.

Operator response

Thank you for taking the time to leave such a detailed review! We're so pleased you enjoyed the different village stops, local tastings and delicious lunch. Thank you also for your lovely words about Vasilis and our team. We're glad everything ran smoothly and that the photos gave you a nice reminder of your day with us! 😊

As authentic and personal as you can get!

We had the most wonderful and authentic experience in Cyprus. Being hoteliers and foodies and avid travellers, the tour was authentic and we enjoyed the food and wine tour immensely. Georgina and our driver were amazing, she is so knowledgeable and well known amongst the locals. We felt like we were getting the inside scoop. I would highly recommend this trip if you are looking for something different. Ps: Georgina we hope we also taught you that South African's can buy luggage in less than 5 minutes if we put our minds to it!! Thank you once again for the special memories!

Operator response

A magical private experience — hands down the best day of our trip!

This tour is an absolute must-book! We had the absolute pleasure of having Elena as our guide, and because we ended up being the only ones on the tour, it felt extra special and totally personalised. Traveling deep into the mountains through picturesque, quiet villages in a lovely air-conditioned vehicle made the journey so comfortable. Elena was incredible from start to finish—super friendly, warm, and deeply knowledgeable about the island. By the end of the day, it truly felt like traveling with an old friend. Highlights for us: * Wine tasting & local olive oil making: Fascinating stops that really let us sample authentic local flavours. * Monastery views: Stunning panoramic sights high up in the mountains. * Traditional Mezze Lunch: A fantastic spread at a local restaurant with a huge selection of delicious food. We had the absolute best day out and couldn't have asked for a better experience. Don't hesitate to book this tour!

Operator response

Thank you so much for this fantastic review! We're glad you enjoyed the mountain villages, local tastings, beautiful views and the very generous meze lunch. Thank you for your lovely words about Elena. We're so pleased she made your day feel personal and special. Thank you for recommending us so highly! 😊
