Great Day in the Troodos Mountains!

5.00Our guide Chris was very knowledgeable about all things Cyprus. We were a small group of 4 so in a comfortable SUV instead of a bus. We managed to avoid the coaches all day so it was a rather peaceful day. Lania village is beautiful. I was really surprised by the size and beauty of the mountains. I would love to come back and stay in the mountains. Chris was the perfect host and answered all our questions about Cyprus. I strongly recommend this tour with Chris.
Wonderful Cyprus

5.00It was such a memorable day! You took us to places that would have been hard for us to visit on our own, and we were able to explore charming villages and monastery efficiently. At the winery, we enjoyed tasting a wide variety of wines. I was traveling with my mother, who isn’t very used to traveling abroad, but thanks to this tour and the very kind guide, both of us truly enjoyed the experience from the bottom of our hearts.
Relaxed, authentic, and memorable

5.00The minibus winds its way gently up the winding roads. We’re heading into the Troodos Mountains, where we’re shown in historic villages how people used to live here and, for example, how they made wine and olive oil. Our guide is also our driver, Chris. He knows his way around, tells stories with humor, and involves his guests. The journey, enriched with music and interesting facts about Cyprus, continues to a coffee and souvenir stop. A plus: no one is pressured to buy anything; everything is optional. The highlight of the excursion is ultimately the visit to the monastery and Throni tis Panagias — places you simply must see when traveling in Cyprus. Your culinary needs are also taken care of at the restaurant that follows, which offers a wide selection (note that the price for lunch is not included). A wine tasting and a visit to Omodos with its charming shops, cafés, and bakeries round out the tour, which delivers on its promises.
A very enjoyable tour....

5.00A very enjoyable tour. Our guide, Chris, shared with us, throughout the trip, very interesting and useful information about the places we visited and about Cyprus in general. The vehicle was very clean and safe.
The best of Troodos indeed!

5.00We had the best time in Trodoos!!! Thank you Ascot Travel and Tours and especially to Chris, our tour guide. He was very knowledgeable about the history of all the places we visited making each of our stop more interesting. He is also very friendly and fun to be with. Can't wait to avail more tours in the future.
A most enjoyable...

5.00A most enjoyable excursion which included a seasonal joy of snow on the higher sections of the tour. The mountains of Troodos are spectacular and having Socrates as our tour guide made it all the more enjoyable, he being both a very safe driver and knowledgable guide. With the variety of villages, mountains, the most famous Cyprus monastery and wine tasting, it was, in retrospect, the most overall enjoyable of our holiday.
Great Trip 👍

5.00We had a great time on this trip and Chris the guide was knowledgeable and very friendly. We were picked up from and returned to our hotel even though it was not a designated pick up location which was very helpful. We were in a very clean vehicle and with only 2 other people which was great. As it is only January all the destinations were not crowded and therefore we could explore at our leisure it was however very cold so take appropriate clothing if going up the mountains in winter!! The food at the designated lunch stop was ok but but not great but overall this was a great trip and very good value for money!
