5.00Could not fault. John was at meeting point early and tour lasted around two hours in which John gave us a very insightful history of Limassol and the country. The tour took us to various parts of town and what was nice was some of the areas we would never had stumbled across on our own. Very gentle walking place and plenty of stops along the route. 18 people on the tour but had no problem in hearing the information and John would answer any questions thrown his way. You could tell that he was very passionate in passing on his knowledge and i was glad that i went onto this trip compared to other on offer. It anyone is keen to learn about the history of both Limassol and the country of Cyprus I do not think you can go wrong with booking this tour.
A Must-Do in Limassol!

5.00I loved our walking tour in Limassol with Ioannis! As a local architect, he brought the city’s history and streets to life with passion and insight. He showed us not only the main sights but also hidden gems and charming alleys we’d never have found on our own. His storytelling was engaging, his recommendations super helpful, and the small group made it feel like exploring with a friend. Highly recommended!
