4.00It was ok. View point of aphrodite’s rock, viewing of archeological site, a visit to village & unused monastery, good lunch. There really was no interaction from guide - given info but nothing more.
Awful customer service

1.00Do not trust this company. We received numerous emails regarding the pickup, and including what the app said. This was incorrect information. When the bus did not pick us up we were told that we had received an email a month before saying a different pick up location which we did not get. Despite the app and every email saying one pick up location they have refused to give us a refund and will not answer why. There are much more trustworthy companies
Fantastic trip through the history of Cyprus

5.00Fabulous excursion, with a very knowledgeable and engaging guide, and a safe driver (the two Chris'). Enjoyed every segment of the trip. Highly recommended.
Ruins and wine tasting.

4.00Enjoyed all aspects of the day and the various stops included. The guide gave an excellent overview and potted histories of Cyprus and the places we visited. As we were first pick-up and last drop off, it did make it quite a long day ( about 9.5 hours in total ). This was the only real downside to the day. The meal was delicious although wine wasn't great. Ruins and Amphitheatre were well worth seeing. Village pretty and not too bustling. Vineyard was very informative with nice wines to taste and buy. And then a history lesson to top it off on the way home from the guide, Chris. Not to mention our driver Nacho was fantastic.
We wouldn't have missed it.

Visit Paphos: long on the bus
Q9794NGdavidh,Jul 11, 2023
- Review from Tripadvisor
1.00Picked up at 8.40am from the hotel. Not until 10:30 first stop. Barely half an hour from the bus. Back half an hour on the bus. Quick off for a picture and back on the bus. Back half an hour drive. Half an hour stop at the crypts. Back on the bus. 2am in Paphos. No free time! Back on the bus towards hotel 3h30! Back at hotel at 7pm. Not recommended! Not worth money!
Definitely worth booking
