Highly recommend

Another great tour . Again we had Viola who was explained all about the areas we visited . Kourion archeological site was fantastic . If you can get longer tours here please do . There is so much to see and the views are beautiful. Then to Kolossi castle , entry is €2.50 . Nice gift shop , you can get drinks here too. Limassol free time I visited the castle €4.50 entry but it was really good , good displays and went right to the top for views of the city . Lots of nice shops and places to eat / drink . Fantastic guide and driver . Highly recommend this tour .

Good educational trip

Very reliable service the coach arrived at the scheduled time and was fully air conditioned.We loved the Roman arena that you get to see on this trip and its about the best one we have seen.We also enjoyed seeing both the castles especially Limassol.The tour guide was very informative and did make a point of making sure all the guests were with her and did keep counting us all incase someone was missing which in my excursion experiences they dont always do so that showed a caring attitude. Our trip was a good educational experience without a long coach trip. Thank you

Historical site tour of Kourion and Limassol

Nice experience, learned a lot about the specific tour points and the local history. The tour guide was very knowledgeable and put her own experiences and view points into the stories so made it feel more relaxed and approachable.

Great trip

Very nice day. Saw a lot and received a lot of great information from Viola. Thanks for this great excursion. The bus was already older and not very comfortable; furthermore, it was also not clean.

Nice day out to see some of the history of the island

We were staying in Paphos but wanted to see more of the island so I booked this tour as it wasn't too long and included a few stops of interest. The bus was comfortable and included air con and the guide was friendly and informative, not just at the stops we made but about the history or Cyprus and Cyprus in general. We stopped off at Aphrodite's Rock for a quick photo opportunity (what a view!) before arriving at our first stop at the archaeological site of Kourion. Our guide shows us the highlights of the site before giving us some free time to wander around. It's not a overly big site but there is some walking involved and there are shaded spots dotted around if you need a rest. The next stop was Kolossi castle, which was quite impressive, and there's a nice cafe nearby where you can get refreshments and a snack. Then it was off to Limassol for a walk around the posh marina and then to Limassol Castle. To be honest, I'm not sure what the visit to Limassol added to the tour but we found a nice place for lunch. Be sure to take water to stay hydrated, a hat for protection from the sun and I would recommend wearing comfortable shoes for the walking.
