Amazing tour - We had a wonderful time. Maria was really friendly and gave us all the info we needed. She liked to answer our questions and we learned a lot. I would really recommend this tour. The length was ideal for us since it didnt take on our whole day but just a couple hours

Wonderful Bespoke Tour with a Personal Touch - We went on a half-day tour of Paphos with our 15 year old son and it was absolutely fantastic. Maria, our guide, was outstanding - knowledgeable, warm and incredibly attentive to our needs. She was especially kind and patient with our son, which made the experience even more meaningful for our family. We wanted a bespoke tour and Maria worked with us to personalise the day. Highlights included a visit to a loukoumi workshop, where we not only learned about this Cypriot sweet but also bought some to take home. We also explored Paphos Harbour, saw beautiful beaches and visited a monastery, which was peaceful and fascinating. Maria answered all our questions with enthusiasm and insight. A huge thank you to her. She deserves to do really well and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a memorable experience in Cyprus.

A very interesting religious tour of Paphos - We had signed up for a walking tour but for some reason ended up with Maria on a tour of churches and a monastery in Paphos.which was extremely interesting. The final hour literally shoping in old Panos was not necessary. Maria might have made better use of the microphone. We were embarrassed that we could not provide a tip as Maria did not step out of the coach as individuals left.
