5.00Mario out driver was a hoot! Lively personality and very affable Excellent decision to take us to the Avankas gorge first...cool...Cyprus have superb but unusually warm temps week we were there...and only 4 other people there..as we walked back to the jeep hoards of people were heading to the gorge! Enjoyed a coffee over looking stunning turtle beach, much needed ice cream by the sea in Latchi, and as it was too choppy to swim...only 2 people out of 8 wanted to anyway..Mario suggested going to a winery instead.... SUPER suggestion....real bonus Finished off by caves and the famous ship wreck...cave scenery beautiful... Only thing I wouldn't bother with is Aphrodite's grotto....just tourist trap We all had a really enjoyable, fun, rewarding day....highly recommend it! Plus Mario picked us up from our hotel although it wasn't in the pick up list...much appreciated
Good trip, lots to see

5.00A fully packed day with lots of information. A good trip to see parts of the Pahos area not easily accesible by public transport. Our guide, Mario, was a native Cypriot who was very knowledgable. Lots of stops, no feelings of being rushed, plenty of toilets too. Would highly reccomend.
No complaints fantastic

4.00An exciting excursion with a lot of information, people who have back problems should not do the tour. You are transported with an old Defender Jeep, unfortunately you don't see much on the back benches and it is very comfortable, but we changed places after each stop.
We spent a great day...

5.00We spent a great day exploring a part of Cyprus with Mario. He made sure we had all the needed information and adjusted our schedule to avoid crowds at popular places.

5.00This was the best activity on our trip to Cyprus! Mario was our guide and he was the best - really friendly and chatty, he had all the information we needed about the sights, and life in Cyprus. He was flexible with how long we spent at each stop and what order we did them in, to make sure everyone had a good time. The sea swimming stop in particular was amazing, and we loved seeing the mountain villages from the jeep. We even stopped to try a carab from a tree, which was delicious.
The jeep ride is over...

5.00The jeep ride is over rough terrain and this off-roading allows you to see and hike in the beautiful Akama national park, see vineyards, carob and olive plantations, and even a tiny 12th century church which not many tourists get to see. This would have been impossible with a regular rented car. We also got to swim in the mediterranean for a full hour after seeing Aphrodite's baths and then had a delicious fish lunch in Latsi. The day concluded by seeing the Edro III Shipwreck and sea caves. Worth every cent, and our tour guide was very friendly and engaging.
Unforgettable Jeep Safari with the Best Guide!

5.00This Jeep Safari was one of the highlights of our trip! Mario was not only professional but also an absolute joy to spend the day with. He took us to breathtaking spots we would have never found on our own, explained everything with so much knowledge and passion, and made sure we had plenty of photos to remember the day. What made the experience truly special was how much fun he made it — his humour and easygoing personality kept us smiling and laughing throughout the tour. The mix of stunning scenery, great storytelling, and a guide who really cares made this an unforgettable adventure. The Super Team exceeded all our expectations, and we can’t recommend them highly enough!
Outstanding!

5.00What a great day. Went to many sights but was given sufficient time at each one, especially the Blue Lagoon. Filipos was knowledgeable, funny and let us know what was going on throughout the day. Cannot wait to come back in 6 months to book another trip. Thankyou
