You will see unique mosaics and the ancient amphitheatre, still being kept in a working condition and able to accommodate around 3500 visitors.

Throughly enjoyed all aspects of the trip. Guide was excellent and a shout out also to the driver, sorry forgot the names. My only comment would be having an extra 15 minutes at Kourian which woukd mean a little less time spent in Limassol. Would recommend.

Our guide for this trip was Viiola, she was fabulous - so knowledgeable and accommodating. For me, we didn't have enough time at Kourion - what an amazing site that is, when i return to Paphos I'd like to visit again and spend more time here. Kolossi was also well worth a visit - bonus was the coffee shop is good here too :-) Limassol disappointed us - we spent a lot of the guided tour walking through the private marina, not really of interest personally, and Limassol Old Town didn't have much of interest in it either, although the castle is worth paying to visit. All said, the tour itself was very well organised and went smoothly - info about pick up location and time arrived well in advance.
Availability and good organization by the agency

We went through Constructour to organize two private tours, Limassol / Kourion / Kolossi and the Troodos mountains with the monastery of Kykkos. Everything went perfectly in terms of the organization of the reservation and the return to the customer afterwards. Our special needs have been passed on to the guides.
Beautiful castle not to be missed.

Very beautiful castle well restored, too bad that its environment has not been preserved because it deserves to sit in the middle of a beautiful park.
This tour is terrible.

I've been on Viator tours a lot, but this one was the worst. As when I used the same course nine years ago, I gave advance notice that I would "take the Paphos ride and get off Limassol." Last time, it was a comfortable tour with a large bus and luggage in the side trunk. This time, they packed six people in a regular passenger car.
Excellent Trip. Highly recommended

After being picked up at our hotel we first stopped of at Aphrodite's Rock for some nice photo opportunities. We then visited Kourion Archaeological Site. It was very interesting to see the ancient ruins via a full walking tour by our fantastic guide, Violi. We then visited Kolossi Castel nearby followed by our main afternoon stop in Limassol. We had a walking tour through the Marina into the Old Town for some lunch and some free time for browsing the shops and seeing the Castle. Arrived back at our Hotel late afternoon.
A great day.

It was extremely interesting. An excellent guide was well-informed, friendly, considerate, and helpful. I thoroughly enjoyed the adventure. Please pass on my thanks to the guides and the safe driver.
OK, but not worth the money
