    Better with a smaller group

    Robin_J, May 2026
    The tour guide and locations to see were good, but I think the tour was too large for the tour. I found that going to the ruins was fascinating, however too short a time to spend at the location. The time spent at the various places was too short in general. I realize the tour needed to go fast enough to return to the ship on time, but I think if the group had been smaller, it would have been easier to get through. Also, maybe one less place would have been more appropriate. The group was also quite rude at the wine tasting. Several were so concerned about getting something free, that they had no regard for others on the tour. A result of a group being too large.

    Response from Host, May 2026

    Thank you for your feedback. We’re very happy to hear that you enjoyed the tour guide and the locations we visited, especially the ruins. We understand your comments regarding the group size and the time spent at each stop. All details regarding the excursion — including the itinerary, duration, locations visited, timing and group size — are clearly described in the tour information provided before booking. Our standard tour duration is 6 hours, however on this occasion we extended it to 7 hours (10:30am-5:30pm) in order to offer participants a more enjoyable and relaxed experience. We also returned about one hour before the ship’s departure, ensuring a comfortable and stress-free return for all guests. As cruise schedules are very strict, the itinerary is carefully planned to allow guests to experience several highlights of the region within always the available timeframe. If the cruise ship had allowed more time for the stay, you can be sure that we would gladly have offered it as well. We always do our best to provide the maximum possible experience for our guests. Nevertheless, we truly appreciate your comments and suggestions, as they help us continue improving our services. We are also sorry to hear that the atmosphere during the wine tasting was not as enjoyable as expected. We always encourage respectful behavior among participants so everyone can fully enjoy the experience. Thank you again for sharing your thoughts with us and we hope to welcome you again in the future.

    Kathryn_S, Mar 2026
    Our cruise ship did not stop at this port due to weather. The tour company was so nice and immediately refunded my money. I would definitely book with this tire group in the future.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you for your thoughtful review! We’re sorry your cruise wasn’t able to stop due to the weather, but we truly appreciate your understanding.

    Very responsive operator with clear instructions

    Beverley_B, Mar 2026
    Sadly, we were unable to experience this tour because the captain cancelled the port.. I will say that I did have some communication with Spanos Tours because of the uncertainty of the situation with the war that recently started. Spanos Tours answered my questions promptly. We were looking forward to our tour however the captain of the ship decided it was not safe to attempt docking in Limassol (due to weather conditions) and we continued on. I contacted Spanos Tours to advise him we would not be docking. Spanos Tours was very generous and has refunded the entire cost of the tour. If you are looking forward to our a tour in Limassol I can say that Spanos Tours was very easy to deal with and gave clear, concise information about the meeting point etc.

    Response from Host, Mar 2026

    Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience. We’re truly sorry that your ship was unable to dock in Limassol, it’s always disappointing when plans change so unexpectedly, especially when you were looking forward to the tour. We really appreciate your kind words about our communication and are glad we could assist you promptly during the uncertainty. Providing clear information and being flexible in situations like this is very important to us. It was a pleasure communicating with you and we’re grateful for your understanding. We sincerely hope you’ll have the opportunity to visit Limassol in the future and we would be delighted to welcome you on one of our tours then. Wishing you safe and pleasant travels!

    Very nice and our guide...

    NC Group Goes to Limassol

    Stewart_P, Oct 2025
    Our Group of 11 really enjoyed this informative tour around Cyprus. Our tour guide was very extremely knowledgeable and shared the information with us clearly so we could understand. We loved having he "wisperers" so we could hear everything she was saying. The tour delivered everything advertised in the description and got us back to the ship in plenty of time. We did not feel rushed. We really enjoyed the visit to Kourion especially the amphitheater where one form our group when down and sang Amazing Grace. You could heard perfectly. In the visit to the Monastery of the Holy Cross, we got to see what we were told as a piece of cloth from the Holy Rob of Chirst. While our group are not big wine drinkers, we did enjoy the wine tasting as the person in charge made the experience entertaining, educational and fun. All in all a nice way to spend our time in Cyprus.

    Response from Host, Nov 2025

    Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We’re delighted to hear that your group enjoyed the tour and found it both informative and relaxing. It’s great to know that our guide’s knowledge and the use of the whisper headsets helped make the experience clear and engaging for everyone. We’re especially glad you enjoyed the visit to Kourion, what a beautiful moment to have “Amazing Grace” sung in the amphitheater! It’s also lovely to hear that you appreciated the Monastery of the Holy Cross and the wine tasting experience, even as non wine drinkers. Your kind words mean a lot to us and we’re so pleased the tour lived up to your expectations and returned you to the ship on time. We hope to welcome you back to Cyprus for another memorable experience in the future!

    Traditional Cyprus Tour.

    mbowen340, Oct 2025
    A very good tour to see Cyprus. It was a beautiful day & with a small group even made it better. We were picked up on time & provided with water. Our tour was on 10/06/25 at 8:30 a.m. We got to see all of the sights mentioned. It was not a long tour which was good. We returned back to the ship and very happy with our tour day. Michael & Phyllis.

    Great tour of Cyprus!

    Stephen_T, Oct 2025
    Great tour of Cyprus! There was a good mix of sites and activities including a castle tour, a very unique wine tasting (including a rare blue wine!), and a great visit to an archeological site as well. Our guide was pleasant, informative and we had a great time. Definitively recommend this tour!

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you so much for the wonderful feedback! We're happy to hear you enjoyed the variety of experiences from the castle and archaeological site to the unique wine tasting. It’s great to know your guide helped make the day even more enjoyable. We truly appreciate the recommendation!

    A great way to see Limassol and surrounding areas.

    Dana_B, Oct 2025
    This is a must do trip from the Limassol port. The bus was easy to find when exiting the ship. Our guide was very knowledgeable and easy to understand. We had a wonderful day. Our guide gave us so much history about the area, and it was very interesting! We went to Omados which is a cute town! We had a wonderful lunch there and then went on to the wine tasting. I'm so glad we booked this trip and not the one from the cruise ship.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you so much for sharing your experience! It’s great to hear the tour was easy to find and that your guide made the day both informative and enjoyable. Omodos really is a charming town and combining history, a great lunch and wine tasting sounds like the perfect way to explore the area. Definitely sounds like you made the right call booking independently! Thank you for placing your trust in us!

    Beautiful day in the countryside

    OlympiaCaracostas, Oct 2025
    This was a wonderful day tour, encompassing a wine tasting as well as several archeological sites. It was a beautiful drive and we got to see some of the countryside. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and accommodating to all of the participants, many of whom were older. The wine tasting was fun and informative. I would highly recommend this tour if you want to get out of the city, and meet some of the Cypriot people.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We're happy to hear that you enjoyed the day tour and had a memorable experience exploring the countryside, tasting local wines, and visiting the archaeological sites. It's wonderful to know that our guide made everyone feel comfortable and well-informed throughout the journey. We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another adventure in Cyprus soon! Efcharistoume para para poly! ❤️

    Quick tour in Crete

    Sally_D, Oct 2025
    We had an amazing time. Our tour guide Mary was fabulous and knew so much. It was too bad we didn’t have more time to fiend on the island as I felt there was so much more to see. Mary did a great job getting in as much as she could for a fabulous experience

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you so much for your kind words! We're really glad to hear you had a great time and that Mary helped make it such a special experience. Just to clarify, we believe there may have been some confusion with the name of the island. This is Cyprus, not Crete. 😊 We also wish the ship had allowed more time here, as there’s truly so much to explore and enjoy on the island. Hopefully next time you’ll get to see even more! Safe travels and we hope to welcome you back again someday!

    Great Comprehensive Tour

    Good tour not so good transport

    Jenny_G, Oct 2025
    The trip around Limassol was excellent. Our guide was very easy to understand and was knowledgeable. The only downsize was having 20 of us in the van making it very squishy. The van was not in good condition.

    Response from Host, Oct 2025

    Thank you for your feedback! We're glad you enjoyed the tour and found our guide knowledgeable and easy to understand. We’d like to clarify that the minibus used is a 22-seater. On this tour, two families invited three friends they had met on the cruise who were also booked on the same excursion and they demanded last minute to ride together in the same van, which may have made the space feel tighter than usual but there were still two empty seats. We're sorry to hear you felt the minibus wasn’t in so good condition. Please feel free to message us with more details such as what exactly seemed to be not in so good condition, we’d appreciate the opportunity to look into it further. Thank you again for sharing your experience!

    Beautiful Cypress

    Ines_C, Oct 2025
    This was our first time in Cypress and we were very happy to be here and the tour we took with Spanos Buses was the cherry on top of the cake. From the very detailed information given about how to meet our tour, to the very efficient driver Vasilis and guide Deva (if I remember correctly) it was a very enjoyable day. This tour is a great mix of history, culture, sightseeing, wine tasting and free time We had a few stops with lots of information given by our very knowledgeable and friendly guide, we went to a very quaint village, had a delicious wine tasting and even had some time in Limassol. I would definitely recommend this tour if you are on a cruise ship. They will make sure you get back in plenty of time and you will not feel rushed.
