Dimitri was our guide. He was great! We came for the marathon and wanted to experience Cyprus. We absolutely loved it! Picked us up near our place and he took us to 6 stops and we definitely experienced a variety of things. I would recommend this trip to anyone visiting. Thank you so much!

We two couples spent an absolutely wonderful day with our guide, Helena. We felt like guests, not tourists, as we were welcomed by local residents and enjoyed delicious food and wine and coffee over the 5 or 6 stops during our drive through the mountain villages and beautiful scenery. We learned so much and enjoyed every minute of the tour. In addition, Helena later sent us a portfolio of photos she had taken of our day together. Highest recommendation!

We just returned from a fabulous day with tour guide Georgina and 4 new friends. Our five visits were so very interesting..., carob farm, halloumi makers and goat farm, a visit to the monastery in Omidos with incredible mezes and more for lunch, a winery with an animated tasting session of delicious wines and lastly a high end tutorial from a chocolate maker. It was all so fun and we learned a lot and enjoyed all the tastings. Georgina was over the top as a driver and tour guide. We just loved her and loved our day.

The food was incredible and the sites were so cool! Our guides were very knowledgable and so friendly. The tour was very organized, included places that we would never have considered, and we are so thankful that we booked this tour!

This is the best tour I have ever taken.... I have done numerous tours over the years and travel a lot. This tour was pure bliss. Pickup in a perfect, comfortable van. The communications prior to the tour was clear, concise and ensured a well run trip. The little extra's on this tour totally made it. The tour guide took photos the entire time so you could be in the moment and then they sent them to you. The van had a refrigerated area for items to keep cold. The tour guide, Panos, was the best part of the tour. We started with Carob tasting. Excellent quaint stop. Then on to cheese. This was a real working farm. We then went to a tiny village. Stopped at a little church, had a little free time. The lunch in town was huge. The courses did not stop coming. It was amazing food. After lunch we went to a winery that was incredible and unique. Tasted several wines. Our last stop was my favorite. Sounds crazy but it was a bakery and we ate jam. It was phenomenal. I don't think I am doing it justice but I can't recommend booking this tour. This tour made me want to visit Cyprus again. It made me love this country. You visited tiny places and felt like you were giving your money to the real locals. Don't hesitate... please book this tour.

We loved this tour! We stopped at several places for a little bit of culture & history mixed in with the abundant and delicious food & wine. The villages were quaint and beautiful, the scenery was amazing, our tour guide (Helena) was very knowledgeable, and we appreciated all of the bonus stops mixed in with the planned ones. We saw, ate, and learned SO much in one day. It was perfect!

This was the best discovery I made during my visit of Limassol, Cyprus. Our Tour guide Helena picked up my friend and I from our hotel. We had a pleasant drive through the Troodos Mountains. We visited two wineries in the area. Helena was extremely knowledgeable of wine making and the wineries we were visiting. This made understanding the owners sharing their story that much easier. We stopped in Omodos for a walk-around within the village, the Timlos Stavros monastery, and lunch at a local tavern. We concluded our tour with Ayia Mavri Winery, which had some of the best wine I've ever tasted. Overall the entire experience was wonderful. I will make it a point to schedule another tour when I return to Cyprus.
