Top Paphos Day Trips - page 5

My friend and I had an absolutely amazing experience on this buggy tour. I hadn't driven a vehicle in over 20 years, so I was quite nervous before the tour started. Looking back, I had absolutely nothing to worry about. We had families, friends and moms with their young sons in our formation. So it is literally for everyone! We used the pickup service, which was conveniently located right next to our hotel. Jantina, a wonderfully energetic and knowledgeable guide, picked us up along with another family and already made the drive to the starting point enjoyable. She shared fascinating information about Cyprus and the tour itself, which got everyone excited and prepared for the adventure ahead. At the base, Chris gave us a clear and professional safety briefing. His calm and confident approach immediately helped me relax and feel comfortable behind the wheel again. The buggies are automatic, making them very easy to drive, even for someone like me who hadn't driven in decades. The tour itself was perfectly organized. We drove both on-road and off-road, including winding mountain roads with breathtaking views. The group stayed together in a safe formation with comfortable distances between vehicles, and Chris always made sure everyone was ready before moving on. At every stop, he even positioned the buggies so that getting started again was effortless. One thing I particularly appreciated was the strong focus on safety. The rules were simple and sensible: stay in formation, don't overtake, and don't create large gaps that encourage speeding. We were informed later that serious accidents have happened on other tours when people ignored these basic rules. Thanks to the professionalism of Chris and his team, we always felt safe and well looked after. Another guide stayed at the rear of the group to ensure nobody was left behind. - I recommend a bandana for the offroad part as it gets dustyyyyy. The stops were fantastic and well-timed. We visited beautiful waterfalls where you could either explore the walking trails and museum area or take a refreshing swim in the surprisingly cold water. There were plenty of great photo opportunities. We also stopped at Coral Bay, where guests could swim again or simply relax, enjoy some food, and take in the scenery. For us, this was the highlight of our trip to Cyprus. My friend enjoyed it so much that she joked she wants to get her driving license just so she can do buggy tours like this more often! A huge thank you to Chris, Jantina, and the entire team. We would gladly do this tour again and highly recommend it to anyone visiting Cyprus.
