Olga’s knowledge is incredible - Massive highlight of our trip to Cyprus, gave me much deeper insight and appreciation of the country. We drove through key destinations in Cyprus with intriguing storytelling throughout. We visited beautiful archaeological sites where we learned a lot from our amazing host, Olga. We then visited the birth place of Aphrodite following beautiful storytelling explaining this from our host. Here, we were able to take in the beautiful scenery, cultural significance and look for heart shaped stones!! We tried traditional Cypriot sweets at a beautiful family establishment hand picked by the tour, where we were then able to buy the sweets and were massively surprised by the low price!!! My friends and I bought a lot of these beautiful sweets. I wish this sweet business well, very high quality, friendly staff and affordable. We finished our day with a two hour trip to the beautiful Pathos. I really enjoyed this and it has made me want to go back to Pathos, very beautiful area. Could not have asked for more. Trip along the length of Cyprus, seeing incredible sights, with real cultural significance. Not just touristy things but experiences that give a rich feeling for this country. But the highlight of this trip was the amazing Olga, our host. So attentive with guests, very very friendly and funny, but above all, her knowledge really is top notch!! Throughout our trip, she exercised incredible knowledge and made sure we all knew we could ask her for further information. She is an asset to Cyprus as I came away not just with more knowledge, but wanting to know more about this country!! Thank you for this amazing experience - loved it!! Would recommend to anyone coming to Cyprus and wanting something special to really enhance their trip.

Worth every penny - The trip was worth every penny. The tour gives you plenty of time in each location as well as free time to have lunch. The tour guide was amazing and is very passionate about the island. The coach is also comfortable and air conditioned which is amazing in the middle of summer!
