Buying a cat in a bag

The itinerary does not mention that the most part of the trip is by bus. The six hours is total time, not the time on the boat. The 2.5 hours is the time on the boat total! Meaning the trip from port to lagoon and back. Not what we had in mind at all. The online conversation did not correct our misconception. We wanted a six hour boat trip. Unprecise wording. The host on the trip was great, but it could not make do for the incomplete information. Why can't they just write: "The trip is by bus." You will not find the word bus anywhere.

Fantastic, relaxed day of sightseeing

The whole trip was fantastic! We got really clear communication the day before detailing what to bring and where to meet, including a pin on Google maps which was very helpful. Our tour guide, Anna, was fabulous. She was very knowledgeable and gave an interesting commentary as we travelled, without feeling like she needed to fill every second with talking. Again, there was very clear communication about what was expected, timings, and the such. Both Anna and the driver were exceptionally kind and helpful with my disability and made the whole trip so easy. The boat trip is a really nice way to see the coastline, and the blue lagoon itself is stunning. There are also toilets and changing rooms on the boat which is always helpful, and a bar serving everything from coffee and alcohol to hot dogs and souvenir magnets! Aphrodite's bath is a very special location and well worth the visit. It's set within a botanical garden too, so the walk down is just as interesting and pretty as the grotto itself. Overall, I highly recommend this trip. It's well worth the money, and a lovely way to see a little more of the island on a relaxed, scenic trip. Also, definitely take the recommendation for the lunch stop; the food at Moustakallis Tavern is second to none.

Good value and great day out

Great day out, Blue Lagoon was as stunning as ever and crew on the boat were really fab. Would recommend if you haven't seen the western part of Cyprus as the coach takes a scenic route. Only downside was a group of really annoying women who were more interested in taking selfies and pushing people out of the way to get their "shot". Recommend going to the suggested restaurant- the food id delicious and came quickly. The guide was really friendly, helpful and made a point of knowing names and making sure we were all ok and she gave great commentary.

Nice trip

It was overall a nice trip, with few minor inconveniences. Pick up was well organised as per message received a day before. Bus on the other hand was not so good - it was old and air conditioning was not working, so it was unbearably hot. We made a longer stop at Edro III until other bus came to pick us up. Boat trip and swimming in Blue Lagoon was, fun. We we offered with one free drink (juice or wine) and latter some fruits. Fruits part was disappointing because I saw only some plums, not sure was that all, or there was not enough for everyone. Baths of Aphrodites is a nice place, and view from the hill is amazing. On our way back, we stopped at Polis for a lunch (not included) and an independent walk - it is a small village, so it does not take long to explore. When we reached Paphos (Kissonerga), other bus broke down as well, so we needed to wait until it is repaired…. Our guide was OK, but seemed somehow disengaged and not very interested, she provided minimal information. Overall, it was a nice day.
