Panikos was an excellent host- very knowledgeable and easy to listen to! We went to some fantastic places and activities including making our own halloumi, wine tasting and chocolate tasting, as well as a stop off in Omodos which was very picturesque. We really especially enjoyed eating the halloumi we had made earlier that day and the chocolatier who talked us through the process of crafting his artisan chocolate, with tasting examples! Would highly recommend this experience!

This was a full taste experience of the Cyprus cheese and other food cultures. It was a full and long day but not boring and lots of fun, like the cheese making and seeing the animals. Our experience tasting the freshly made Halloumi and Anari cheese was exceptional, the taste of the cheese can't be bought, if you don't buy it fresh from the farm. The bee-farm was very interesting and we learned a lot about our nature. The Donkey farm at the end was also very nice and if you don't think donkeys can be jealous then visit the donkey farm and check for yourself. Our guide Panico was informative, very nice and friendly and treated us as friends.

Great Experience. Fully lived up to our expectations. Our guide Helena took great care to ensure that our day went well dispite being caught in rainfall of Biblical proportions when visiting the village of Leftkara.

Belle expérience une journée magnifique. Ana une guide touchante et disponible pour répondre aux questions et donner les informations sur la région. Une façon de découvrir chypre et ses habitants d'une autre manière et faire connaissance tout en dégustant des plats et des vins typiques. Luisa une cheffe d'entreprise à l'écoute de ses clients et surtout une femme passionnée. Un tour à faire à Chypre.

Vronique_M
