A Long Story ……..

3.00The tour started off on a sour note. Either Viator or the Tour Guide accepted too many clients. There were 14 people in total. 2 couples left (and may have been accommodated elsewhere). We were then delayed further while port authorities examined documentation (not anyone’s fault). We finally got started with our van only having a driver. The tour guide was with the larger van. Everyone was frustrated (including the tour guide). I felt terrible for her. We wasted a considerable amount of time at the Kourion Ruins. We proceeded to Aphrodite Beach where the British forces had the road closed Again, nobody’s fault. We had to backtrack. The tour at the Beach was quite nice. Everyone did their sightseeing and the tour guide provided wine and sweets. Very nice. In conclusion, we contacted our TA in hopes of preventing this situation. She contacted Viator. We received a response defending everything and not even offering a “We’re Sorry”!
Great tour!

5.00Our guide Ivan was wonderfully friendly and facilitated a great tour. It’s been wonderful staying at the Four Seasons here but it was great to get out and see two of the beautiful sights of Cyprus. Aphrodite’s Rock was so stunning. And the Kourion ruins were also beautiful and so interesting. Definitely recommend if you want a chill environment with a great guide. Was just a couple of hours so we were able to go back and relax at the beach after :-)

5.00Great communication right from booking, we knew where to meet and when. Our guide explained where we would go and timings. He was happy to answer any questions and gave us a good overview of the area. We were pleased to learn about the history and myths - so interesting and we spent the right amount of time in each place.
You should definitely participate!

5.00I was able to spend my time with peace of mind thanks to the careful and detailed explanations and safe and comfortable driving. Without this guide, I would not have been able to learn more deeply. I think it's a very valuable tour.

5.00I went to Cyprus with a friend to enjoy the sights a bit. 5Luso is a very serious company. When I arrived at Larnaka airport they were waiting for me with a car to do the excursion. The stay was heavenly. I must say that out of courtesy of the company they took me to discover Agia Napa, as it was a destination that was not included in the package. The truth is that as we were close, they took the delicacy to take me there after the wine tasting. But what an experience, there are no words. Look directly at the photos I took on site. 1000% recommended.
An ideal tour if limited in time (i.e. cruise schedule) with tour guides that care

5.00Ivan is very attentionate, kind and accommodating just as the driver, Joshua. A relatively new company that we selected based on previous Trip Advisor reviews. We love the flexibility of the tour (instead of being herded like sheep in a tour bus, and going at the pace of the slowest) Ivan and Joshua accommodated to our pace and our curiosities. We appreciate that Ivan is a graduate of Tourism studies and in addition to being knowledgeable about Cyprus, he is multilingual. We had so many questions (including our teens) about Aphrodite Beach, Kourion ruins, socioeconomics of Cypress, the land and produce. Ivan answered it all and made recommendations. Not only did we learn more about the island’s history, we had time to savor wine made in Cyprus, purchase souvenirs and Cyprus Carob Chocolate for gifting. Ivan made sure we had enough time to make it back to cruise ship. He made himself available even after the tour in case of emergency. It is wonderful to be in the company of tour guides who care about the well-being and safety of my Family. The vehicle selected for our family of four was perfect: clean, roomy and in great working order. We enjoyed our experience and first visit to Cyprus. Thank You Ivan and Joshua.
Incredible landscape and flexible tour
