If you haven't been - Go! - The trip was great and very well timed. My only criticism would be that they should spend longer at the historical sites because they stretch over bast spaces - we were only able to see the major monuments.

Great value for money tour - Lovely tour guide Sofia. Very knowledgeable and really good value for money. I did this instead of taking the local buses as it was good value and had some aditional stops too. Plenty of time in limassol, and some great mosacis and a stop off at aphrodites rock. Great trip 👌

Limassol Excursion - This was our first visit to Limassol with most of our free time spent in the port area. Our tour guide was excellent and provided plenty of information both historical and current. The visit was sufficient for us to decide that we could at a later date enjoy an extended stay there and find plenty to occupy our time.

Fantastic trip, at a great price, with a lovely, informative guide - My wife and I, both of us in our mid-sixties, booked this trip through our Mercury Holiday’s rep at our hotel for a cost of €26 each, which we thought was amazing value for this all day tour. The coach arrive shortly after the pick-up time we were told, which wasn’t a problem as the weather was fine. The coach was clean and comfortable, and we were soon on our way to Kourion, which was our first port of call. Sofia, our tour guide, was excellent throughout the day giving us an endless stream of information both on and off the coach. We spent a fair amount of time at Kourion, and Sofia made it interesting with her dialogue on what we were viewing. We got some wonderful photos of the ruins and the amphitheatre. Then it was on to Kolossi Castle, where we decided not to go in, but instead had a coffee and cake at the small café beside the castle for a very reasonable price. After the castle we made our way to Limassol where we all broke off on our own to explore the city. My wife and I had a lovely walk around the city, and lunch in a great little eatery called Petros, which we can highly recommend. After lunch we took a stroll alongside the harbour until it was time to get on the coach again. Finally, before returning to Paphos, we stopped off at Aphrodite’s Rock, which broke the journey back up nicely. All in all it was a really great day out for a fantastic price, and we would both thoroughly recommend this trip.

good operator - Unfortunately I missed reading the email about details of bus pick-up because I was on the plane and could not find it when I searched later. So I phoned to confirm. But they didn't tell me the pick-up was across the street and I missed the bus pick-up and therefore the trip. However, even though the mistake was partially mine, the tour operator/Viator gave me a full refund, since I was unable to reschedule another trip. I appreciate that favor. Thank you tour operator.

Archeology part worthwhile - Visit to Kourion was very interesting and well explained by our guide Sofia Limassol was uninteresting apart from the castle which we were walked to then left to our own devices with not enough time to explore
