Ancient Kourion Tour with Paphos Town from Limassol
Description
Cyprus is home to some hugely important ancient Greek and Roman sites. On this tour, you'll take in Aphrodite's Rock, ancient Paphos and the Tombs of the Kings, visit Kourion – and enjoy free time in Paphos town. After a coffee pit-stop along the way, you'll stop by Kourion archaeological site to see landmarks such as the theatre – dating from the 2nd century BC – and the Agora. En route to Paphos, there's a photo stop at Petra tou Romiou – or Aphrodite's Rock – where, legend has it, the ancient Greek goddess of love and beauty emerged from the sea foam. Next, we'll head to ancient Paphos for a guided visit of the Tombs of the Kings, the House of Dionysos, and its well-preserved mosaics. Later, you'll enjoy some free time in Paphos town.

We walked to the local pickup point, and from there we took a taxi to the waiting tour bus. Very seamless. Once on the bus, we visited several sites, and our tour guide was excellent and so informative. She gave translations from ancient Greek, and told us about local plants. I did feel a bit rushed on this tour and would like to have been able to spend a little more time at some of the locations.
Overall, the time was too short, especially in Kourion, so we saw nothing there except mosaics in a building and the theatre. This may be partly because the bus arrived late. The explanations of the tour guide were very informative

María was fantastic. She was knowledgeable, funny, and efficient with the tour. We covered a lot of ground in several hours, and showed us where to have a great lunch on the pier. Highly recommend.

<p>This was a great tour. The guide was really good, very informative. However, much of the time was spent travelling from Paphos to Limassol and then Limassol to Nicosia. We only had a couple of hours spent in Nicosia, which, for me wasn't enough. It is a very nice city to explore.</p>
<p>The location itself is worth it, but the tour experience was just okay. I think this tour could be better if it didn't have 50 tourists with 1 guide to lead us all. Our guide did a good job given the ratio, but it was at times painfully slow waiting for everyone, and it was awkward trying to crowd around and listen to the historical facts she shared.</p> <p>And a few other things to note...There were at least 8 pick up spots where additional guests loaded the bus on the way to Nicosia and on the way back. The first stop had coffee that I had to choke down, but there were a few cute donkeys on site. They emailed me to confirm my pick up time at my hotel. Morning of the tour I became concerned when no one came. Luckily the hotel concierge was able to look up their phone number couldn't find it listed in the email or voucher and contact them. Concierge spoke with someone who told me to go across the street to the tour agency building. When I entered that building the one staff member said she isn't the one who handles calls and that it was not her who said to meet here aka not my problem. Eventually I found the guide and bus, but was greeted with a reprimand for not being in the right pick up location, but at least they didn't leave without me. I think because this agency handles such large tour groups the communication is limited and the experience is like that of cattle herds. Realistically, there are few tours to select from, and given the experience of the sites, I would still say go for it unless you rent a car.</p>
