Nice day of adventure - We were picked up at nerby hotel. Caravan took of after all the jeeps reported at first stop. First part was visitin the gorg. Walk was easy enough that 5 year could manage it. Second part was visit to the turtle nests and final part was skinny dipping at neighbouring bay. If you like nature then this trip is for you, but if you hate dust then stay away.

Akamas adventure - Whilst the pickup time was a little fluid, the driver was excellent and the 1/2 day, to the Akamas gorge and Lara beach was most enjoyable, and well worth the money.A proper off-road experience

Amazing experience in the wilds of the Akamas - This was a fantastic trip - our driver, Rhion from Daktari tours, was great, super helpful and a fount of information, not just about the plants and wildlife on the Alana’s peninsula but also about the history of Cyprus. The jeep ride was great fun (so glad we didn’t attempt to hire a 4 x 4 ourselves!) the views were amazing, the spring flowers were just beginning ( we went in March) and overall it was a brilliant day out.

A great day full of memories. - Our guide was an ex military South African. He'd lived in Cyprus for over 30 years and is a true lover of the island and the great outdoors. His knowledge was beyond impressive and a true advocate of nature. He was chatty, included everyone in conversations and put everyone at ease. The walks were awesome but done at a pace that you could talk and enjoy. It wasn't a march through a gorge, but an informative mini adventure. I highly recommend this trip, our guide was outstanding. If you do the English speaking tour (there are other language tours available) try and get the little South African guy........legend.

MTS is not necessarily the agency we trust!!! - Extremely inflexible - please be careful when booking!!! I booked the Jeep Safari together with my wife and we were really looking forward to it! Unfortunately, one day before the Jeep Safari, my foot became acutely ill with calcium deposits and I was unable to take part in the event - the pain was simply too great as I couldn't even begin to stand on my right foot..... My wife obviously didn't miss the tour, we were both looking forward to it too much..... After consulting our tour guide Conny, I was assured that she would get in touch with me about a good solution - unfortunately with a negative outcome - Her boss said that I would need a medical certificate - i.e. get a doctor to the hotel and cover the additional costs of around €150 - which would have to be paid for privately....the Jeep tour came to €80..... Of course I didn't do that.... I don't understand it - I wouldn't book a jeep tour 4 days in advance and then not take part... I would have really liked a little more sensitivity here! In any case, we will no longer use MTS's services and would like to use this opportunity to warn people against it.
