Viola was a great tour guide. We enjoyed seeing Aphrodite’s rock, Agia Solomoni’s catacombs and the amazing mosaics in Paphos. We also enjoyed a nice lunch of grilled halloumi cheese on pita! Very enjoyable day.

We enjoyed our time in Limassol. Viola was our guide. Our trip was shortened because of a medical emergency on our cruise ship and we were delayed about 3 hours. We toured the castle and then went to the village of Omodos. Omodos was an amazing quaint place where we enjoyed shopping, sampling and a delicious lunch at the Cafe Snack Bar. Viola was very friendly. She was very knowledgeable. At times, the amount of information was much more than needed. The vehicle was very clean but somewhat tight seating for six adults plus the guide. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Contrate una excursión PRIVADA. El operador me contactó dos dias antes con la historia de que por clima tenía que usar un microbús de 14 personas y que lo aceptara o cancelara , cuando ya iba en un crucero. No me descontaron nada del precio porque dijeron que era un “mejor coche” Muy mal que mientan
