Not to be missed

5.00Although this was a very tiring day, as there was so much to see and do in the heat, it was also an unmissable experience. We visited villages we didn’t know existed and would have missed if we didn't have Socrates and his minibus, as he is such a knowledgeable tour guide. He walked around the villages at a pace that suited us all and gave us so much information we easily understood what we were seeing and experiencing. The monument to the first president of Cyprus was a hard walk, but well worth it for those able to do so. It was absolutely stunning! The golf cart used to take those less able was not working on the day we went, so some missed seeing this, which was a great shame. Kykkos Monastery was also beautiful and I have never seen such an ornate church, although we couldn't take photos, so a visit is essential. The buffet lunch (not included) was delicious, but you weren't expected to have this if you didn't want to pay for it, although it was worth the €18, in my opinion. Finishing the day in the village of Omodos was a treat, as it is really pretty, with lots of shops guaranteed to tempt you. Socrates driving was exemplary considering the constant switch-backs in the mountains, and he constantly checked that we were all okay, and he stopped regularly for breaks, at places where food, drinks and toilets were available.

4.00Efficient tour with a seasoned and knowledgeable guide (Chris) who does a lot of heavy lifting in terms of driving. Lania is a quaint albeit expat heavy village, the monastery and shrine are beautifully situated. If you’re not keen on wine tasting, you might have more time at stops on a different tour. Esp. Stop at Omodos was quite short.
Great trip Troodos mountain

5.00"If you are planning a trip up to the Troodos Mountains, do yourself a favor and book this driver! Driving those winding mountain roads can be intimidating, but our driver was exceptionally skilled, calm, and made us feel incredibly safe the entire time. The vehicle was pristine, comfortable, and handles the climbs perfectly. Beyond his excellent driving, he was a fantastic guide—helping us plan the perfect itinerary through traditional villages, suggesting a wonderful spot for a traditional Cypriot lunch, and showing us some incredible hidden viewpoints. He was punctual, professional, and so warm and accommodating. It was the absolute highlight of our trip to Cyprus. 10/10!"

5.00We booked the services of a driver and private guide for a day my sister and I so we could visit at our own pace. We highly recommend this company and especially our driver and guide, Socrates, who has proven to be cultured, professional and very courteous. Flexible formula and affordable price. Exchanges with them were easy and responses were always quick.
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.

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.
