  • Disappointing day despite beautiful gorge

    (Please read whole review..) The hike to the gorge was beautiful and doable for my two kids (6 and 8) in regular sneakers despite it being very sunny… Unfortunately that was the only highlight of the day! The bus broke down, it was very old and we had to wait an hour for repair. The guides explanations could not be heard, his microphone did not work. This was mentioned several times but not repaired. There were no turtles at noon at turtle beach, and we had 1,5 hours to swim there while there were no facilities etc. We then had a very long lunch break in a terrible facility in middle of nowhere. Then he showed us the sea caves. After the hike there was a lot of waiting around. It took 8 hours instead of described 6.

  • Great trip

    Took the bus615 from the harbour terminal to coral Bay then got 616 bus to the bottom of the hill near the zoo ask driver to tell when to get off but be weary there is a walk of about 1km up hill once you have done the zoo there is a courtesy bus back to coral Bay then you get the615 back to paphos .when you set off from terminal at the harbour paphos if you ask they will gie you a timetable for the616 they are very helpful .the cost 9euros for 2 which is not bad this is just an option if you cannot get on the zoo bus

    We decided on this tour at short notice and did not regret it. We were picked up as well as brought back . Big thanks to Nemo our guide and the driver , he did so great. We looked at many destinations, to highlight was the gorge, just lunatics alone the minibus ride and the abysses but our driver had it! Price performance unbeatable, everyone should do the tour and especially guided with Nemo then you see Paphos! Very importantly, sturdy footwear, food and drink then you can start... 100% recommended

    Excellent and relaxed trip seeing some of the more natural aspects of Cyprus. Swimming at Lara beach was a particular highlight as was the walk through the gorge. Our guide was very knowledgeable and full of interesting information.

    This day trip was lovely, we got to see so many beautiful sights, we had regular points to rest or swim etc, the tour guide Eva was lovely, funny and very informative, the driver Dimitri was also very friendly and was able to drive us safely from place to place. I would highly recommend this tour, especially to see Avakas Gorge as this was my highlight! Not to mention the convenient hotel pick up and drop off.

    A nice family excursion , too bad not to have been able to go to the end of the walk in the rocks (recent stone falls ) Beautiful discovery on the restaurant of the south. And unfortunately we didn't see any turtles 😔

    The road is full of beautiful landscapes, when entering the stone more shows great precipitation rocks. It is imperative to bring comfortable walking shoes because the stones are smooth ...

  • A very informative day out!

    We enjoyed this trip, the tour guide & driver were very friendly, which put everyone at ease from the start. Our guide was extremely knowledgeable about the whole area, and it's history. The Swiming stop was excellent, and the walk at Avakas Gorge was well worth the 30 mins up hill walk, as you had a number of stops on the way to hear about the local history. There was a lunch stop which you had to pay for, the service was a little slow due to the number of other visitors, but the food was tasty.

  • Great value for money
