We were at the pickup point and waited for 45 Minutes. Nobody showed up!! After calling the contact number many times (nobody answered) i had to call many different viator offices from greece to cyprus. Nobody could help me. Nobody was responsible. Then i was told we were not at the pickup point at the right time, so they start the tour without us. Thats a lie. Nobody showed up. We were there 10 min before the meeting time. So we are really dissaponted, because we were really looking forward to that tour.

All the drivers who are also guides were very good at what they did. With care for nature and helpfulness towards the tourist! They knew a lot about everything we got to see.

Really great tour, the tour hides were amazing, funny and could tell a lot about Paphos. Especially the tour guide Andres - fantastic, helped with everything, great driver, showed everything about the land and harvesting fruits. The boat drive also was nice, as well as the lunch, definitely worth the money. Giving four stars for only one reason - the communication with the tour operator. Well, it was very poor, nobody answers the phone, or if they do, they hung up and block the number, Viator also was not helpful in this situation, but everything turned out great, would advise to contact the tour operator in writing only.

The trip was amazing and the drivers were very kind. They pick us up on time and followed the planning even after a stop of 1h because of a flat tire. The lunch could had been better but doesnt't matter.

The jeep ride was a bit too fast for my liking, especially on the winding mountain dirt roads. We enjoyed the natural reserves and the beautiful natural views though. It would have been nice to get more info on the places we were visiting, but maybe there wasn't much to them apart from the pretty views. The boat cruise was ok, lots of passangers, an hour to the Blue Lagoon, and hour there and an hour back. The Blue Lagoon itself was a bay full of other ships like ours, I thought it was going to be a little more quaint. Overall it was alright, always an experience and new sights seen.

So much natural beauty but somewhat ruined by poor organisation and people. We phoned a few days before, as advised, and told them we had some dietary requirements. The guy we spoke to didn't have very good English but said we were booked on to a 4x4 trip. Turned out, despite booking the trip we wanted online, we were relying on the guy that spoke bad English to book us on the right trip. He failed. Booked us on an ATV ride. We had to rearrange and wasted a few stressful hours waiting around using the holiday reps to sort things out for us. Tried to complain via Trip Advisor (where I booked) but no response. The trip was ok but turtle bay was disappointing. You don't get to go on the beach, just stop by a hut at the top. And the boat ride didn't have a nice feel to it but maybe that was the ignorant people that we shared it with.

We were allocated Chris as our driver and escort for the full day. He was absolutely brilliant. In our group was 1 family and 3 couples, all from different countries. We all got on great. Firstly, we were collected from our hotel at the time specified, no delays. Then met up with the other 2 jeeps, all full also. We got to know all other travellers also during the day. We were then driven up all around the mountains, excellent views. Stopped for coffee/refreshments and chat with locals. Then driven to Aphrodite rock. Then restaurant for excellent lunch, including as much wine/minerals as you wanted. Then cruise to Blue Lagoon for swim, relaxing or whatever your preference, then back to port, collect and driven back to hotel. Full day excursion and I would definitely recommend this to anyone interested in a full day excursion. Fantastic day, great company and a huge thank you to Chris, our driver.

Bumpy jeep rides, hidden treasures of the Akamas peninsula and a magnificent lagoon. Too bad it was a bit crowded with tourists, but it was expected. Still a very good tour, definitely worth it!
