Wonderful day tour - The views are amazing. I took lots of photos. But was in a little hurry. It might be better to have an hour more. The driver is lovely person. He told everything in details.

Wine and dine in the Larnaca district - A great tour to finish your stay in Cyprus. A mixture of all specialties Cyprus has to offer. With the right driver like we had it is a must.

Book This Now - You Don't Want to Miss It - What an absolute magical day! Greeted by our driver who was polite and friendly from the very begining. Not only did he drive us to all the beautiful locations, but he also showed us around the places too offering little pieces of information but not as overbearing as some tour guides are. It felt like he was just an addition to our group who had some facts about the area. Would absolutely reccomend this day trip to anyone.
