    I went on this trip with my 18 yr old daughter, and it was a very well run and led tour of the ancient world. We fully enjoyed the day despite the high temperatures, our guide was knowledgeable and lovely, and the journey was very professional and we left feeling well looked after.

    Excellent knowledge and very friendly guides. Lots of history to get through and they did a cracking job. The trip included all of the entrance fees and lunch was in Paphos Harbour. Not peak season but not too expensive to eat at the more expensive restaurants. €32 for local red wine and whole Sea Bass with hand cut chips and seasonal veg. Driver Sorates was great, knowledgeable and loved his job. €65 for the day

    We went on the Paphos Archaeology & Beauty Excursion with Ascot in July this year, and it was an amazing experience from start to finish. This great trip was thanks to the excellent service from Ascot and their fantastic tour guide. The detailed planning of the itinerary was clear, making sure everything was well-organized and went smoothly. The best part of the excursion was our tour guide, Lenya, and our driver, Socrates. Their enthusiasm and deep knowledge of the area were contagious. Lenya and Socrates went above and beyond what you would normally expect, making sure everyone in the group was engaged and excited about the trip. The excursion was planned perfectly, with a great mix of guided tours and free time. The landscapes were stunning, especially the visit to the ancient ruins of Kourion, which was a highlight of the trip. The Paphos harbour was also beautiful and definitely worth seeing. Overall, the tour with Ascot Travel & Tours is highly recommended. It’s a great choice if you want to learn more about Cyprus’s history and culture while enjoying a well-organized and enjoyable trip. The knowledgeable guides, interesting sites, and good balance of activities and free time make this tour a wonderful way to experience Cyprus and create lasting memories.
