5.00My experience on this tour was ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC!!!!. Chris was very entertaining, warm and engaging , patient, knowledgeable and friendly. His choice of music and driving on the bus was also superb. UNBELIEVABLY BEAUTIFUL monasteries and churches! Historic, quality towns, fabulous winery, delicious lunch. After this tour the only other place to go is heaven.

5.00A very full day with lots of great places included in the tour. Chris, our driver and guide, was very informative. The highlight was the amazing church at the Kykkos Monastery.
Geared towards buying nick-nacks

3.00A tour geared towards buying toerist stuff, and not about seeing the villages and sites. You do visit Kykkos monastery, famous, but all buildings are relatively new and not that interesting, unless you are a pelgrim coming for the Mary icon. You do not get to visit one of the painted churches of the region.
Memorable. Tour & timeline maintained on schedule with efficient duration. Will continue to recommend to others.

Beautiful Troodos Tour—Great Guide, Winery Could Be Better

4.00The Troodos mountain trip was well planned and easy to follow within the given time frame. Our driver and guide, Chris, handled the winding roads confidently and shared a good general overview of Cyprus—its history, vegetation, wildlife, and the background of the monuments we visited. He didn’t go into very detailed explanations, but he was witty, engaging, and kept the group entertained. The only drawback was the winery stop. There was no tour of the facility—just a table for tastings—and the wines didn’t appeal to most of us. The organizers should reconsider this part of the itinerary. Lunch was on the expensive side, but the food was tasty, and sitting together as a group made it enjoyable. We had great conversations and got to know people from different countries and cultures. Overall, a pleasant and well-organized trip with a fun guide, though the winery experience could be improved.

5.00We had a wonderful trip with Ascot Travel to the Troodos Mountains. Our first stop was Lania Village, a charming and picturesque place. We then visited the impressive Kykkos Monastery and the Throni of Panagia, both truly beautiful and full of history. We also enjoyed a lovely wine tasting experience, which was a real highlight of the day, before finishing at the beautiful Omodos Village, where we explored the narrow streets and local shops. The whole day was very well organized, and our driver was excellent – friendly, professional, and very knowledgeable. Overall, it was a fantastic trip that we highly recommend!
Great experiance to see...

4.00Due to hot season, the mountain tour is a good way to relax and tour some historic sites. Tour guide has allocated and provided sufficient time for each stop over and attractions. It was a small group. Save the efforts to drive on own.
