Cyprus in a day
Susan L,Mar 17, 2026

5.00A long day but a great experience. A mountain village showcasing traditional crafts, crossing the 'Green Line' into the Turkish Cypriot part of Nicosia, the amazing interior of a Greek Orthodox Church. Unfortunately the flamingos were on the far side of the salt lake. Our guide was very knowledgable with lots of information about where we were going as well as the history of Cyprus and the time went quickly. While it would have been nice to have had a little longer at each of the stops, I appreciate this was hard to do with the distances travelled from Pafos.

The three cities tour

4.00Overall good, the guide was nice and engaging and had important information making our visit a bit more inside the box. Visiting three cities on a bus and in a day is complex, but considering the limited time it was nice. Weather helped and Cyprus is a lovely island.
A wonderful day out

5.00This was a great introduction to Cyprus. It was informative, interesting, and varied. The guide Viola was helpful and informative. We saw a lot in one day including the mountain village of Lefkara, the church of Lazarus, the salt lake with its beautiful flamingoes and had the chance to walk over to Northern Cyprus. Overall it was a brilliant day
A Perfect Day Exploring Larnaca, Lefkara and Nicosia from Paphos

5.00We really enjoyed the Larnaca Highlights tour with visits to Lefkara and Nicosia from Paphos. The itinerary was well planned and offered a great mix of history, culture, and local charm. Lefkara was absolutely beautiful, with its traditional stone houses, narrow streets, and famous lace-making — a real highlight of the day. Larnaca was interesting and relaxing, especially the promenade and main landmarks, while Nicosia gave a fascinating insight into Cyprus’s history and the unique division of the city. The tour was well paced, allowing enough time at each stop without feeling rushed. Overall, it was a very informative and enjoyable day trip, perfect for anyone who wants to see more of Cyprus beyond Paphos. I would definitely recommend this tour.
Great tour

4.00Full bus and great guide. We received a lot of information, history, political background on situation, pas and present, of Cyprus. I would only wish to have more time to visit Nicosia, and more indications on interesting places there. Thank you for taking us to Lefkara, where we met a wonderful couple keeping teh tradition of Lefkara laces alive. Worth visiting and contributing to their work.
More of a day out than tour

4.00Mixed experience, but Lefkara was a highlight Booking with this tour operator was easy and organised as they send a WhatsApp message the day before with clear pickup times and location, which was super helpful. Unfortunately, the bus I was on had a really poor speaker system, so I couldn’t hear much of what the guide was saying. To be honest, I didn’t really connect with her vibe either. The tour felt more like a day out than an informative experience and there wasn’t much explanation or background given at the stops. That said, Pano Lefkara was absolutely beautiful. The village itself is stunning, and the locals were so friendly. It was definitely the best part of the day.
