5.00A Fantastic Day with Andy – We had the most incredible day exploring Cyprus with our brilliant tour guide, Andy. His knowledge, warmth, and passion for the island made the entire experience unforgettable from start to finish. One of the absolute highlights was the visit to Louisa’s farm for a halloumi-making experience. Louisa and her family were incredibly welcoming, and the hands-on demonstration was both fun and fascinating. The extra touch of a homemade brunch gave us the chance to sample the freshly made halloumi — truly delicious and something we’ll never forget. Next, we visited the beautiful village of Lefkara. Nestled in the mountains, it was much larger than we expected and full of charm. The village church was absolutely stunning, and watching local artisans delicately sew traditional lace was a special experience. The intricate handmade silver pieces in the local shops were also a real treat to see — such craftsmanship! To round off the day, we stopped at Christoudia Winery, where we had the chance to taste a wide variety of locally produced wines. Each one had its own unique character, and we couldn’t resist taking a few bottles home with us. Throughout the day, Andy took us to several breathtaking viewpoints, each one offering a different perspective of Cyprus’s diverse landscape. His thoughtful itinerary gave us a genuine insight into traditional Cypriot culture, and we left with a deeper appreciation for the island’s heritage. All in all, a fantastic and enriching day — highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience the authentic side of Cyprus.
A great day out in the mountains!

5.00Andy was an excellent driver and guide, switching with ease from English to Cypriot Greek for the three lovely Australian-Cypriot ladies who were on the tour with me and my English-speaking daughter. We loved the brunch at Loulou's halloumi farm, after which we went to Lefkara, then to a beautiful monastery before going to a village with one permanent inhabitants and an excellent restaurant for a delicious authentic Cypriot meal. I can thoroughly recommend the tour.

5.00Great day out. Got to experience local traditions like halloumi making and even got to try some. Also visited the beautiful stone village of Lefkara and had a lovely walk around the cobble streets seeing the traditional lace and silver shops. The Machairas monastery was in a picturesque setting and I loved the little shop selling local herbs and spices nearby. Our driver/guide Andy was very polite and informative and made our day even more enjoyable.
