    Wonderful trip, our guide Vasos was very knowledgeable, funny and a great driver. Loved the 'safari massage' when going off-road. We saw all the spots, with enough time to walk around and explore. Even stopped at the 'optional' Aphrodite's rock, during a beautiful sunset.

    A lot of discomfort and disappointment

    George_S, Jun 2025
    we were seated in the back if the jeep which was very uncomfortable for 10hrs. first coffee stop was too long and not worth it. adonis falls was a tiny trickle of water and not worth the visit. Venetian bridge was also disappointing and we were there for far too long. We were given 40minutes for a wine tasting that didn't happen because the shop owner wanted people to buy a bottle before they could taste anything. Finally, we were given only 15 minutes at Aphrodites birthplace -not enough time to use the bathing suit and water shoes we had worn/carried the whole day. The whole point of Aphrodites birthplace is to be able to swim around it 3 times and we were told not to get in the water because of time limits and this on a super hot day -where just being able to wade in and cool down would have made us much more comfortable for the ride home.

    Great day out

    Great day out, and we had the best tour guide who really made our day that little bit better. Definitely recommend.

    Great tour.

    Kim_W, Apr 2025
    Our Troodos mountain was very interesting, so good to see other parts of the island. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.

    Amazing day!

    Meeting locals at the Venetian bridge who invited us to enjoy a wee local brandy and cheese. Instead of lunch we explored the local village Morning coffee stop near a beautiful church which we explored instead of sitting at the coffee stop for the duration. Off road safari was a memorable experience and Vassoss was a fantastic tour guide.

    Give up the luxury for a fun off road experience.

    Melanie_B, Oct 2024
    What a day! Stress free pick up from our hotel. Friendly driver; happy to answer questions and help take photos. Plenty of toilet and refreshment stops. The views were amazing along the route. We enjoyed a “safari massage” (it’s a bit bumpy in places) but all adds to the experience.

    Absolutely Amazing

    Tracey_P, Sep 2024
    Absolutely an amazing tour with George who is such a fun and knowledgeable character, random road stops at different plants was very good. Only down part was it stated free wine tasting which isn't really part of the tour unless you find your own free wine tasting place in the wee market town, so that was a disappointment but overall, can't complain even after hitting a major thunderstorm up Troodos (which I loved) Weather heeds for no one and George did warn me that we might get rain up the mountains

    Overall nice experience, however ...

    Claudia_S, Aug 2024
    Overall it was a nice experience, however: - Next time better to ask some info on the other passengers to understand if there will be a possibility to have some interaction. - I would have preferred traditional music instead as Disco music at high volume all day long. - It's a pity that the visit to Makarios III Tomb is not included, despite it is only 5 minutes from the Kykkos Monastery, which is included in the tour. - It's a pity to stop for lunch at Pedoulas village without going to see the Archangelos Michael Church, part of the UNESCO heritage.

    Great tour with gorgeous views!

    Jan_N, Jun 2024
    Vassos was a great driver, very knowledgeable of the places we visited! The tour also checks off all the interesting places in the area, though we could have taken sightly more 1-2 minutes breaks for taking pictures of the gorgeous views or at the Afrodite beach. Also the jeep experience is not 100% necessary as most of the places are reachable using regular roads. But all in all, this is very solid 4/5 stars. Would book again 🙂

    Poor service and rude attitude

    Juta_L, Apr 2024
    The safari car was in very bad condition. There were too many people, it was uncomfortable to sit. It was difficult to see through the windows because the height of the windows was awkward and not clear. The guide didn't tell us anything, we had to ask questions ourselves what the place was. In short, an off-road rally with poor service and rude attitude from the staff.

    A great day out

    Debbie_D, Apr 2024
    The driver was great , it was lovely stopping at all the different destinations. It was a great experience being able to swim out to aphrodite s rock. The jeep ride was a little bumpy but felt safe at all times .

    Safari jeep trip

    Sharon_I, Mar 2024
    Picked up on time the driver was brilliant explaining things as we drive along highly recommend this trip as you see loads ..

    Relaxed tour yummy food

    heather_n, Mar 2024
    Lovely day with our excellent guild keeping things interesting. The monastery was bigger than I thought lots to see, ran out of time for the museum. All the sights where beautiful not much time need at each one so well planned out. Stopped for a wonderful local meal and a few Coffee's along the way so a very relaxed tour all in all.

    Do not miss this must do experience

    Tracy_S, Mar 2024
    What an amazing day out exploring the beautiful troodos mountains got directly into the heart of the forest amazing scenery expert guides scrumptious lunch

    Everything was delivered...

    Tams_C, Feb 2024
    Everything was delivered as it offered. Smooth communication with organizer, decent jeep, timetable was followed, driver had many interesting stories.

    Great experience. You could see a lot in a short time.

    Angelika_D, Dec 2023
    Very nice driver, he has explained everything we saw on the way and even more. We had small group of three people, we get connected from the very beginning, took photos and talked a lot.

    Great tour, but rude driver

    Mariya_K, Oct 2023
    The tour itself was lovely. We drove on narrow mountain paths through the forest, which was stunning and probably not something you could do on a bus. However, it did feel rushed and our driver was very rude. He was visibly annoyed if you were not back by the minute of the time he stated. It really culminated at our last stop. I left a pair of sunglasses down at the beach and asked him to give me 2 minutes to run back and try to find them. He flat out told me he was going to leave without me. I begged him to please wait and ran down (the sunglasses are in the $200-300 range and a gift from a dear friend). He was signaling frantically and screaming that he was going to leave. After I returned (it really wasn’t even 2 minutes), he went on chastising me for solid half an hour on the way back. I apologized to everyone for the wait, and the rest of the people told me it was all good (one lady just motioned to the driver — like, he is the one who is making an issue out of it). Anyway, it was extremely unpleasant. Really a shame, because the tour itself was nice.

    Pleasant drive. Beautiful Monastery. Guiding non existant

    Melinda_T, Oct 2023
    The tour I paid for was meant to have an English speaking guide. The ‘guide/driver’ never introduced himself, never told us his name (another driver told us he was Philip). His entire commentary was the name of the towns as we passed through. No commentary on the monastery or it’s history (the monastery is beautiful!). His word for ‘waterfall’ was ‘water’ He never stopped at mt Olympus. When I asked where it was he said ‘Toroodas’… which we didn’t stop at. The jeep didn’t have operating seatbelts and the back door opened during the drive. The scenery and drive itself were pleasant but the overall day was very disappointing.

    Worst tour ever

    Norman_K, Oct 2023
    None. This was the worst trip we have ever been on. Driver spoke little English and didn't even give us his name. We stopped at most of the places but he got our the van and left is to ourselves with no information. Had to ask at each place how long we had to stay. The jeep was dilapidated, doors came open when driving, windows didn't open and due to there being disabled people on tour when it stated nor suitable for them we were squashed in the back, very uncomfortable for the whole tour. We didn't stop at Mount Olympus and the driver gave no explanation when queried. Overall terrible day out.

    The best host of all excursions in Cyprus

    Ingrid_W, Sep 2023
    The host Lambros was magnificant! He made our day great with so much humor and joy. Thank you Lambros, kind regards

    Great day

    Sarah_M, May 2023
    Great day out. We were picked up from the hotel and visited waterfallls, dam, aphrodites birth place, kykkos monastery, the holy cross and had a lovely lunch at the Mountain Rose. There were plenty of stops for comfort breaks and snacks. Thalis was an entertaining driver and made the whole day fun. Well recommended

    Activity rich in...

    Diletta_F, Dec 2025
    Activity full of excursions in the nature and spirituality of the island, I would definitely recommend it. Special thanks to Vasos, our guide always available and very nice. Hi, Sunny!

    J’ai payé pour un safari en 4x4 et après quelques kilomètres nous avons été transféré dans une voiture pour laisser notre place dans le 4x4 à deux personnes parlant anglais j’ai fait une réclamation mais l’organisme ne m’a même pas répondu je ne recommande pas le prestataire et j’attends une réponse donc à éviter car pas sur de faire un safari en 4x4

    Chauffeur pour un tour en montagne

    Marion_A, Feb 2024
    Aventure sympa, parcours en4x4 dans les montagnes. Le guide n'est pas un guide mais un chauffeur, il n'explique rien sur les lieux, les visites , il ne parle pas !

    Simplicité

    Emilie_D, Jan 2024
    Très bon tour..il faut mieux avoir le cœur bien accroché.. 😅.Petit bémol le peu de temps pour le repas..

    Een fantastische...

    Karin_P, Dec 2023
    Een fantastische excursie, zoveel gezien echt een aanrader. Wel jammer dat je niet echt alles kunt zien vanuit de auto, ramen waren te laag. Je moet constant bukken om iets te kunnen zien.

    Très bonne sortie

    Dominique_P, May 2023
    Très bonne sortie à l heure pour le départ guide sympathique juste ennuyant pour les personnes qui ne parlent pas l anglais une petite fiche avec les explications des différents sites en français serait un plus à l activité En tout cas les sites visités sont magnifiques avec des points de vue époustouflants Visite vraiment à faire pour visiter l intérieur du pays
