We enjoyed the tour to Limassol. It was well planned timewise, the locations were well chosen and Ermioni was very knowledgeable and considerate of everyones needs.
Adamos was a great driver and we enjoyed the full day trip.

Even though the weather was inclement we enjoyed the experience, however its a bit of a stretch to name the experience "The Treasures of Limassol. Our first stop on the way to Limassol was to a winery with a tasting experience. It was a educational experience but our our view could have been cut shorter. again on our travels we visited a Castle, access to which was chargeable. we enjoyed this experience, in fact we could have spent longer here. Finally we arrived at Limassol to experience the "Treasures" given the time that was given to us the choice to seek out the treasures or to enjoy a relaxed meal, and maybe hit a local shop or two. We chose the latter, by which time we had to return to the pick up point. The coach was comfortable and the guide did a good job. the next time that we return to Cyprus instead of booking a tour we will take public transport from Pathos to Limassol, that should allow us enough time to actually see the city and to see the treasures of Limassol. we were somewhat disappointed.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Dear Gary,
Thank you for your detailed feedback. We’re sorry to hear that the tour did not fully meet your expectations.
When referring to the “Treasures of Limassol,” we mean the wider Limassol region, which includes highlights such as the Kourion archaeological site, the Wine Museum in Erimi Village, and Kolossi Castle, before reaching Limassol city and the marina. We always aim to allow sufficient time at each stop while covering the key sites within the day.
We’re glad to hear you enjoyed the coach and appreciated our guide. Thank you for joining the tour, and we hope to have the opportunity to welcome you again in the future. Qualiday Travel

Relaxed, with enough time to look around by yourself or with the tour guide. Sophia shared rich information for each monument we visited and gave insights about the life in Cyprus.

Well organized, excellent guide - Sofia. Good balance between free time and sightseeing. All on time.
Susan_W, Mar 2025
Very short stop at Kourion. If you’re more into archeology less into shopping, this is not the trip for you.
Helen_B, Feb 2025
Quite a long day so take water, wet wipes hand jel .
The scenery is spectacular with plenty of stops on route., to take photos.
The pottery factory was interesting, you can have a turn on the pottery wheel. Reasonable prices all labeled for items to purchase.
The berber village where you stop for lunch is under shade the food is delicious and lots of it. Drinks are chargeable.
Great day out exiting going through the mini Sahara desert , the dam and seeing the atlas mountains.
Jill_L, Feb 2025
This was a great trip and we enjoyed it.
However, we do think it should be noted that the price includes entrance fees to some of the destinations and THESE ENTRANCE FEES DO NOT APPLY TO OVER 65s. There ought to be a cheaper price for those who should not be paying to go into age-exempt venues.
Sue_D, Feb 2025
Great day out offering 4 locations.. Only negative is more time to explore Limassol world have been nice.
Susan_L, Jan 2025

Carole_B, Nov 2024
Interesting visit to the Kourion 1st century CE house with a knowledgeable guide. Sufficient time in Limassol for a walk around the harbour and the interesting shops and to have a leisurely lunch.
natasha_G, Oct 2024
Nice trip. Would have liked to spend more time at the ruins and less in Limassol. Tour guide was good and it was a good length tour
madeleine_d, Oct 2024
Specially enjoyed Kourion and will go back for a longer trip. Plenty of time to explore Limosol too, with a visit to Aphrodite's Rock on way back. Guide very interesting.
Janet_D, Oct 2024
Had a brilliant day. It’s a good way to see different places. The tour guide Sophia was very informative and our driver was very pleasant too. The whole day was enjoyable.
Aniko_S, Sep 2024
A lot of information about history while seeing a lot. Besides that, very punctual, well organised service, and friendly atmosphere. As for the length at stopovers, I think more in Kourion and less in Limassol would have been better (for someone who's so much into those antique times).
Thomas_S, Aug 2024
The tour guide Sophia was very knowledgeable and spoke a lot about the trip and places visited. Only down side was we had to ask her when we got off the coach as the microphone/speaker system was not working on the coach. The driver could not sort it, he also had to turn off the engine and wait to open and close the door to let people on and off with a remote fob as the door qould not qork inside the coach? Got very hot on the coach due to this and with it being around 50 people on board. Ended up with too much free time in limassol, thank heavens for the Curly Wolf bar, great staff, drinks and choices of food. We felt we missed a lot of the information Dophia gave and that made for a spoilt trip. Hopefully they will use a better coach company next time, wasted a lot of money on the trip and didn't learn about the sites

Thank you for your feedback and apologise for the inconienience. Your remarks are noted and assure you that we will do everything to minimise mechanical problems but sometimes this is inevitable!
melaniegough, May 2024
What a fabulous day! We loved every minute it and thought it excellent value for money. Sofia gave us just the right amount of information and was happy if we wanted to ‘go it alone’ rather than follow her. Adamus our driver was great and drove the coach well. Great stops and very well planned out.

thank you for your remarks
Susan_T, Apr 2024
Unfortunately I missed reading the email about details of bus pick-up because I was on the plane and could not find it when I searched later. So I phoned to confirm. But they didn't tell me the pick-up was across the street and I missed the bus pick-up and therefore the trip.
However, even though the mistake was partially mine, the tour operator/Viator gave me a full refund, since I was unable to reschedule another trip. I appreciate that favor. Thank you tour operator.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thnak you for yur feedback. Always looking to find best solutions for such issues
Ajit_K, Apr 2024
The trip was great and very well timed. My only criticism would be that they should spend longer at the historical sites because they stretch over bast spaces - we were only able to see the major monuments.
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Glad to hear your nice words
Pauline_H, Mar 2024
Lovely tour guide Sofia.
Very knowledgeable and really good value for money.
I did this instead of taking the local buses as it was good value and had some aditional stops too.
Plenty of time in limassol, and some great mosacis and a stop off at aphrodites rock. Great trip 👌
Response from Host, Apr 2024
Thank you for your kind words
Julie_P, Mar 2024
The visit to Kourion. Beautiful mosaics and a beautiful spot. Felt given too much time in Limassol would have liked more time in Kourion
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Yoour remark is noted, however, as the nature of the tour is an overview of Limasol's history thus timing is devoted accordingly.
Georgina_H, Mar 2024
Visit to Kourion was very interesting and well explained by our guide Sofia Limassol was uninteresting apart from the castle which we were walked to then left to our own devices with not enough time to explore
Response from Host, Mar 2024
Thank you for your feedbak. Sad to hear that you find Limassol not interested!
Siobhan_M, Mar 2024

Thnka you for your nice worlds
John_M, Mar 2024
This was our first visit to Limassol with most of our free time spent in the port area. Our tour guide was excellent and provided plenty of information both historical and current. The visit was sufficient for us to decide that we could at a later date enjoy an extended stay there and find plenty to occupy our time.
