Fantastic mountain trip with off road adventures - The most special day, it was an amazing tour, right into the heart of the mountains , 2000mtr elevation , stunning views of Cyprus. The tour guide, Chris , was a super host and made our day special , we shared the jeep with 6 other passengers, and we all became friends during the tour.
It included the reservoir dam near paphos, the monastery, local cafes, waterfalls , bars and restaurants. Lots of stops for photos and views . Also exciting off road driving in the 4x4 jeeps.
Everyone enjoyed the day.

Amazing day! - Wonderful trip, our guide Vasos was very knowledgeable, funny and a great driver. Loved the 'safari massage' when going off-road. We saw all the spots, with enough time to walk around and explore. Even stopped at the 'optional' Aphrodite's rock, during a beautiful sunset.

As advertised..a full day jeep safari but with extras! - We spent the day with our guide Paco on this tour.
Prompt pick up and all stops as advertised so it really packed a lot into the day.
Paco went out of his way to ensure we were comfortable asking if we needed a drink stop, pointing out where facilities were etc.
He also stopped along the way showing us native fruit and herbs which was interesting.
Lunch in the mountains was beautiful and great value for money.
Would recommend if you like to see things a bus tour wouldn’t offer you !
Finally great music played as we rode along with the windows down so nice and cool too. ( Everyone was asked if music was ok to be played)
Thanks for a great day 😃

A lot of discomfort and disappointment - we were seated in the back if the jeep which was very uncomfortable for 10hrs. first coffee stop was too long and not worth it. adonis falls was a tiny trickle of water and not worth the visit. Venetian bridge was also disappointing and we were there for far too long. We were given 40minutes for a wine tasting that didn't happen because the shop owner wanted people to buy a bottle before they could taste anything. Finally, we were given only 15 minutes at Aphrodites birthplace -not enough time to use the bathing suit and water shoes we had worn/carried the whole day. The whole point of Aphrodites birthplace is to be able to swim around it 3 times and we were told not to get in the water because of time limits and this on a super hot day -where just being able to wade in and cool down would have made us much more comfortable for the ride home.

Interesting but short stops - Interesting stops, too bad they're so short. The monastery was a highlight but unfortunately we were only here about 40 minutes.
We had a fully booked jeep, which was fine but the guide sometimes went fast through the bends so you bump into each other every time.
There were more stops than indicated. Maybe it would be better if they had a little less stops so the stops are longer.
The guide was nice and gave a lot of information about the places you go.
Good to know: the jeep has no air conditioning:)

Two Tier Experience - Initially I was in the back - the seats are hard, there are no seat belts and there is insufficient leg room for adults, so you have to sit at an angle meaning you actually see very little. It is a generally an uncomfortable experience- and worse off road. The driver also drove fast, overtook other jeeps and cars, and seemed in a constant rush. Having flagged my concern immediately about the discomfort in the back seats due to a bad back the driver asked people to swap …but left it to passengers to organise, which felt awkward as it was evident no one wanted to endure the back seats. The front seats are far more comfortable and you have way better views and you can hear the guide more easily. It seems unfair you have to pay the same price for all seating, as upfront is far superior. In sharing my discomfort , the guides did not show understanding, but instead mocked me saying what did I expect, it was a jeep safari and why would they use a jeep to stay on tarmac all day, and there were bus tours I could have gone on instead. The English speaking driver spoke very little to us throughout the tour and just gave a quick rundown at each stop. The polish speaking guide gave far more commentary to the 3 polish guests who mainly occupied the front seats and also checked in on them at dinner. Even though she could speak English, she barely spoke to the English speaking guests and only checked in to advise around lunch long after we ordered - again a two tier experience . Reviews suggest this company has some interested drivers who stop to show them things and interact with them throughout the day - this was not our experience. After hours of driving, our driver pulled up at the mountain summit and instead of telling us anything, just asked if we wanted to bother getting out. Choose your guides and seats wisely and then this trip might be worthwhile - otherwise you spend a lot of time driving , being shaken around, while seeing and learning very little . The Monastery was well worth the visit but at each place you have a rapid fire intro and are left to roam around alone - although there is not much to see in all honesty.

Potential depending on what driver you get - After doing a similar tour in maderia which we loved we were really looking forward to this tour, sadly it was a let down.
First of all the driver picked us up 40 mins late, which impacted each stop as he tried to rush everyone and cut corners.
No information was given by the driver about any destination we visited despite us asking questions, he was more bothered about flirting and being very creepy with a German girl who was in the jeep with us.
There was little interaction or information. Most things he told us was just about how amazing he was and seeing his mates.
Don't get me wrong, it was lovely to see bits of Cyprus we wouldn't ordinarily see, but was very rushed and didn't have information on what we were seeing.
Even if you asked the driver were we were heading next, you would get a sarcastic answer so gave up.
No wine stop.. didn't realise we were on mt olympus and rushed.
What driver you get will make or break this trip.
Has a lot of potential, sadly driver wasn't really interested in showing us cyprus... in fact I got more info from a Scottish cab driver yesterday.
