Wonderful day out - Amazing trip for anyone who doesn't have time to explore Cyprus by themselves. The day was very well paced and we saw a lot during that time. Our guide was lovely. This trip made us want to go back and explore the forests ourselves. The ride is wonky and not smooth at all so I don't recommend it for people who get motion sickness easily.

Relaxed tour yummy food - Lovely day with our excellent guild keeping things interesting.
The monastery was bigger than I thought lots to see, ran out of time for the museum.
All the sights where beautiful not much time need at each one so well planned out.
Stopped for a wonderful local meal and a few Coffee's along the way so a very relaxed tour all in all.

Check & check again... - Great trip & a good way to see a lot of Cyprus. The guide was very friendly & informative, however the Jeep was old (94) & the fumes in the back were awful. My husband is never sick when travelling but was sick a number of times on this trip. I had a headache before we finished.We were disappointed not to visit the winery as it was on the itinerary but when asked were we going, the guide just said no. Check the itinerary before you leave to avoid disappointment.
