Tailor-made day trips - Thank you for making our stay in Cyprus extra special. We did 2 private tours with Ascot Travel and were so well looked after. One day Socrates took us to Lefkara and Nicosia, the other day Harry showed us Troodos Mountains and surrounding villages. My husband has mobility issues and it was wonderful to be able to give some responsibility to another person. Highly recommended!
