Interesting day

Susan_v, Mar 2026
Long day but worthwhile. Excellent careful driver and knowledgeable guide. Rain affected first stop so unable to fully enjoy.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Susan, Thank you very much for your kind feedback. We are glad to hear that you found the driver excellent and the guide knowledgeable. We apologize that the rain affected your first stop and impacted your experience. We appreciate your understanding and hope to provide you with an even better experience on your next visit.

Cyprus in a day

Susan_L, Mar 2026
A long day but a great experience. A mountain village showcasing traditional crafts, crossing the 'Green Line' into the Turkish Cypriot part of Nicosia, the amazing interior of a Greek Orthodox Church. Unfortunately the flamingos were on the far side of the salt lake. Our guide was very knowledgable with lots of information about where we were going as well as the history of Cyprus and the time went quickly. While it would have been nice to have had a little longer at each of the stops, I appreciate this was hard to do with the distances travelled from Pafos.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Susan, Thank you for sharing your detailed experience. It sounds like you had a truly enriching day exploring the diverse cultural and historical sites of Cyprus. Crossing the Green Line and visiting both the traditional mountain village and the Greek Orthodox Church must have provided a unique perspective on the island’s heritage. We appreciate your comment about the guide’s knowledge, as well as the challenge of managing time with the distances involved. Your reflections make me even more interested in visiting these places myself. Customer Experience Team Constructour

The three cities tour

Paulo_M, Feb 2026
Overall good, the guide was nice and engaging and had important information making our visit a bit more inside the box. Visiting three cities on a bus and in a day is complex, but considering the limited time it was nice. Weather helped and Cyprus is a lovely island.

Response from Host, Mar 2026

Dear Paulo, Thank you very much for your thoughtful feedback. We are glad to hear that you found the guide engaging and informative, as well as that you enjoyed the beauty of Cyprus despite the complexity of visiting three cities in one day. Your comments are greatly appreciated and will help us continue to improve our services. We hope to welcome you again for another memorable experience. Regards, Customer Experience Team Constructour

A Perfect Day Exploring Larnaca, Lefkara and Nicosia from Paphos

Virgo_M, Jan 2026
We really enjoyed the Larnaca Highlights tour with visits to Lefkara and Nicosia from Paphos. The itinerary was well planned and offered a great mix of history, culture, and local charm. Lefkara was absolutely beautiful, with its traditional stone houses, narrow streets, and famous lace-making — a real highlight of the day. Larnaca was interesting and relaxing, especially the promenade and main landmarks, while Nicosia gave a fascinating insight into Cyprus’s history and the unique division of the city. The tour was well paced, allowing enough time at each stop without feeling rushed. Overall, it was a very informative and enjoyable day trip, perfect for anyone who wants to see more of Cyprus beyond Paphos. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Response from Host, Jan 2026

Dear Traveller, Thank you very much for sharing your detailed feedback on the Larnaca Highlights tour. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed the itinerary and found the blend of history, culture, and local experiences to be well balanced. It is wonderful that Lefkara, with its traditional charm and lace-making heritage, left a strong impression on you. We are also pleased that you appreciated the relaxing atmosphere in Larnaca and the insightful historical perspective that Nicosia offers, especially regarding the city’s unique division. Your comments about the pacing of the tour are greatly appreciated, as we aim to provide a comfortable and enriching experience for all our guests. Thank you again for your recommendation. We look forward to the opportunity to welcome you on another tour in the future. Warm regards, Customer Experience Team Constructour

More of a day out than tour

Leon_J, Oct 2025
Mixed experience, but Lefkara was a highlight Booking with this tour operator was easy and organised as they send a WhatsApp message the day before with clear pickup times and location, which was super helpful. Unfortunately, the bus I was on had a really poor speaker system, so I couldn’t hear much of what the guide was saying. To be honest, I didn’t really connect with her vibe either. The tour felt more like a day out than an informative experience and there wasn’t much explanation or background given at the stops. That said, Pano Lefkara was absolutely beautiful. The village itself is stunning, and the locals were so friendly. It was definitely the best part of the day.

Nicosia

susan_l, Sep 2025
Great long day should go been picked up at 8.30 but it was 9am, got bk home 8.30pm I between courier vry vry knowledgeable about everything and Andrea's a perfect driver and vry polite and courteous, felt we needed more time in Nicosia,

Response from Host, Sep 2025

Dear Susan, Thank you for your detailed feedback. We appreciate you sharing your experience regarding the pickup time and the overall duration of the day. It's great to hear that your guide Viola was knowledgeable and her driver Andreas was polite, and courteous—it really makes a difference. We will certainly take your suggestion about spending more time in Nicosia into consideration for future planning. Your input is valuable to us as we strive to improve our services.

Brenda_C, Sep 2025
Plenty of time in each location but it is a very long day. As on previous excursion, the guide was telling us all the relevant points of interest

Highly Recommend Tour of Cyprus

Sadie_M, Aug 2025
We had a slow start due to New Coach arrival. Violet (Tour Guide and Thanai (Driver) were excellent. Her knowledge on Cyprus was extremely professional and very informative. We would highly recommend this tour. Bravo

Too much time on the bus

Joanna_B, May 2025
Firstly the positives - our guide & driver were fantastic, so knowledgeable and very safe. The trip was just way too long though, almost exactly 11 hours for us of which 7 were spent on the bus. There wasn’t enough time at any of the stops to sit and have a meal and it just felt like it was trying to pack too much in/cover too much ground.

Response from Host, Jun 2025

Dear Joanna, Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're delighted to hear that our guide and driver enhanced your experience through their knowledge and commitment to safety. However, we're sorry to hear that the length of the journey and the tour's pacing didn't meet your expectations. Our aim is to offer enriching and memorable experiences, so we regret if we fell short in ensuring an enjoyable schedule. We appreciate your comments, as they help us to improve. We hope that despite these issues, there were aspects of the trip that you enjoyed and will have the chance to serve you better in the future. Best regards, Customer Experience Team Constructour

Excellent Trip. Highly recommended

James_C, May 2025
This really is an excellent trip and a must do if you visit Cyprus. After being picked up at our hotel we first stopped off at the pretty village of Lefkara which specialises in handmade lace products and silver jewellery. Then moved onto Nicosia City Centre early afternoon and was able to cross the border into the Turkish side of Cyprus to see the market stalls and cathedral. Our last stop was in Larnaca where we visited the Holy Church of St Lazarus, Castle and sea front. Quite a long day and would have liked even more time at each stop but just not possible in one day. Our Guide Violi was fantastic and provided so much information of the history of the island and each place we visited.

Response from Host, May 2025

Dear James, We are thrilled to hear about your excellent trip in Cyprus! The expedition sounds like a true fusion of cultural exploration and traditional charm, particularly the handmade lace products in Lefkara. It's fascinating to know that you were able to experience the diverse influences in Nicosia City Centre and Larnaca. Busying from one location to another in a single day is indeed challenging, but it seems to me that you embraced the adventure wholeheartedly. We appreciate the kind words about our guide Viola, who clearly added to the tour providing valuable information and making every stop intriguing. We appreciate you taking the time to share your experience. Best regards, Customer Experience Team Constructour

Poor transport on an informative tour

Ann_S, Feb 2025
The tour was informative and appeared to be well priced. However the coach used was very dirty with a faulty air system. Windows were discoloured and needed replacement

Lovely but one place missing

Ilana_S, Dec 2024
It was a lovely day. You can expect it to be very fast paced, but it is part of what they offer: several places in one day. Everything went well except we didn’t stop in the Mosque Hala Sultan Tekke as advertised. I don’t understand why and it is frustrating.

Response from Host, Jan 2025

Dear Ilana, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience. It's wonderful to hear that you enjoyed the day and the fast-paced nature of our tour. However, we deeply regret that we missed the expected stop at the Mosque Hala Sultan Tekke. Sometimes, due to circumstances beyond our control, changes to the itinerary might occur. We should've communicated this clearly to avoid your frustration. Our sincere apologies for this oversight. In the future, we hope we may welcome you back again on another tour with us. Best regards, Customer Experience Team Constructour

Perfect tour. Very well organised.

Mike_W, Dec 2024
Prompt pick up from the hotel. Got to go over the border in Nicosia which was a very simple process - don’t forget your passport. Had a lovely lunch at a restaurant the tour guide recommended. Overall a great day with lots to see.

Lace, Green lines and Larnaca… an excellent flavour of Cyprus in a day

Murray_B, Dec 2024
This took us to some key locations across the island, firstly to the lovely hill town of Lefkara, decked out in Christmas decorations and festive stalls all around the town. Very welcoming shop owners - lace and filigree a speciality. Then onto Nicosia, and a journey by foot over the green line which was like going from a UK high street shopping experience to the typical bazaar. Finally, back down to Larnaca and the Tomb of St Lazarus… amazing to see and have access to the crypt with the guide to explain. Be aware it’s a full day, but well worth it for the experiences, the knowledge of Viola our guide and her driver Eduard. A small minibus experience as it was for our trip, off-season, added to the chance to meet and share experiences with the other travellers. Highly recommended.

Response from Host, Dec 2024

Dear Murray, Thank you for detailing your exceptionally enriching cultural experience. The journey from Lefkara to Nicosia and Larnaca indeed sounds captivating, especially the shift in vibe from a UK high street to a traditional bazaar. Your insights about the Tomb of St Lazarus and the story shared by your guide are also very fascinating. We appreciate your recommendation tremendously and it sounds like Viola and Eduard made your experience even more commendable. We are delighted you had an enjoyable time, and appreciate you sharing your experiences. Warm regards, Customer Experience Team Constructour

Too long distances to have enough time to see three cities on one trip

Rimante, Nov 2024
The best part was our guide Viola, she was very organized. It's just the time we took to go to Nicosia and back was not worth it. I would have prefered to go to two places Lefkara and Larnaca and stay there for longer time.

Response from Host, Nov 2024

Dear Traveller, Thank you so much for your valuable feedback. We are glad to know that you found our guide Viola efficient. We do understand your concerns regarding the time taken to visit Nicosia and we appreciate your suggestion to visit Lefkara and Larnaca and to lengthen the stay. We'll certainly consider this while planning for our future tours. Best regards, Customer Experience Team Constructour

long day

Barbara_A, Nov 2024
This trip was too long - told to be ready at 8.00am and dropped off at 6.45pm and spent hours on the coach. Too many people on this trip = difficult to follow guide.

The only reason that it’s not 5 stars is because some of the parts of the tour felt a little rushed. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and we felt safe with our very helpful driver.

Too long

stephen_c, Sep 2024
Getting back to the hotel eleven hours later after seeing hardly anything .First stop was ok then it was just two shopping trips with not much to see.

Response from Host, Sep 2024

Dear Stephen, We thank you for taking the time to leave a review and we were sorry to hear that your trip didn't meet your expectations. We advertise this as a full day tour due to the location in distance of the various stops from Paphos. It's unfortunate that you therefore felt the sightseeing was limited, we always try to strive to ensure we have varied times within each location including the travelling timings. We do take all of our passengers feedback as valuable, and we will ensure to consider it for improving our future tour arrangements. Regards, Customer Experience Team Constructour
