We had a wonderful day on our tour , from collection to return the experience was very well managed and the knowledge of our tour guide Helena was exceptional , I would certainly look at booking again, it helped make our Cyprus holiday all the more special
It's wonderful to hear that the tour became such a memorable part of your Cyprus holiday. Thank you for choosing to spend the day with us! Helena will be delighted to know you appreciated her knowledge and enthusiasm throughout the day. We'd love to see you again on your next visit to Cyprus. 😊
The best experience in Cyprus. Great experience with a great guide. A trip everyone should experience. Places others don't visit. Thank you to the guide
😊 Thank you for your wonderful review. We're delighted you enjoyed discovering some of the island's hidden gems, and we'll be sure to pass your kind thanks on to your guide, Georgina.
Phenomenal experience with Helena. I don't know if I was more impressed with the tour or the absolute wealth of knowledge, both in terms of Cypriot produce or the history which was in depth. I am so glad we booked this tour, the scenery was simply outstanding and every place we visited offered something new and unique. I really felt Helena went above and beyond so that we really enjoyed every stop. I would highly recommend.
What an incredible review — thank you so much! 😊 We’re absolutely delighted you enjoyed both the tour itself and the deeper insight into Cyprus, its history, and local produce along the way. Your kind words about Helena truly mean a lot, and we’re so happy she helped make every stop feel special and memorable. Thank you again for the recommendation!
Panicos was our tour guide during our Cyprus Taste Tour of the Troodos mountain villages! The day was excellent, he arrived promptly and made us feel welcome straight away. He was very informative and was happy to answer any questions that we had. Each stop was excellent, we never felt rushed to leave and had plenty of time to explore and enjoy the food. We stopped off at six places in total over the 9 hours we were all together, this was great value for money. The lunch at Maria’s was excellent and the portion sizes for lunch were very generous! Panicos also has a really good relationship with the hosts at each of the places we visited which in turn meant they were very welcoming to us. The crowd size was great, it was just us two and another two girls from Switzerland who really enjoyed the trip too! I have already recommended this tour to friends that will be visiting Cyprus in the future! When we return to Cyprus we will definitely do another Cyprus taste tour. 10/10!
Thank you for such an amazing review! It’s wonderful to hear how much you enjoyed your day exploring the Troodos villages, meeting local hosts, and experiencing the food and hospitality along the way 😊 We’re especially grateful for your kind words about Panico; he’ll be so happy to hear he helped make your experience a memorable one. Thank you as well for recommending us to future visitors, and we’ll look forward to welcoming you back on another tour next time you’re in Cyprus!

Thank you so much for your lovely review! 😊 We’re delighted you had such a great day with Georgina and enjoyed learning more about Cyprus along the way.
Excellent day with Georgina — she is such a genuine Cypriot soul with a friendly attitude and perfect English! At all the stops, warm and welcoming people were waiting for us. The food was great, the wine was great, and we especially loved the small town of Lefkara, the winery and the special ice cream 😀I would recommend this trip to everybody who wants to see the real Cyprus. Thank you, Georgina — you’re the best! Girls from Estonia ❤️
What a beautiful review — thank you so much! ❤️ We’re thrilled you enjoyed discovering the “real Cyprus” through the food, wine, villages, and warm local hospitality along the way 😊 Your kind words about Georgina will mean so much to her — we’ll be sure to pass them on. Sending lots of love to our lovely guests from Estonia!
A long but amazing day with many stops. Don't have breakfast before the tour, because you will get more than enough food. Our guide Helena was great and knows everything about the history of her island.
Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re delighted you enjoyed the tour and all the delicious food along the way — we always say it’s best not to arrive too full! 😊 We’re also so happy to hear that Helena made the day extra special with her knowledge and passion for the history of Cyprus. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back again in the future!
