Good way to visit all the popular places around Limassol! - A very good way to visit all the highlights of the place if you have a limited time. José was very patient and friendly throughout the journey. Had a bit of accident as I left my thing in the car. José kindly brought it back to the hotel in the evening!

Limassol Aphrodite Rock & Kourion Site - My wife & I were stopping in Limassol for just one day, our tour guide Edyta met us at the entrance. There were a small group of 7 from the other cruise ship also on the tour. Edyta was super friendly and gave us information all day at every stop we were taken to. She even brought some yummy snacks along and we got to taste the blue wine and the 7000 year old wine whilst we looked at Aphrodites Rock from a cliff (after being right down beside her). We did this tour - with an extra stop at a castle and were still able to take a shuttle from the cruise port back to old town to wander around a little longer. Thank you.

Family tour Family tour - Thanks a lot, to the tour operator Raytour, for the attention they gave me and my family. The guide Edyta has knowledge of all of Cyprus, not just the archaeological part. We were left wanting to return to Cyprus.

Wonderful experience! - This was an excellent tour with a perfect tour guide! José arrived at my hotel on time and was very polite and accommodating! He ensured I was happy and comfortable at all times and was even kind enough to take photos throughout the tour! He was extremely knowledgeable and knew all the best spots for pictures! He even set up some samples of wine and Cypriot sweets/snacks for me to try whilst at the Aphrodite Rocks viewing point which made the tour an even more memorable experience!

Not much to see! - Guide overbooked. Got very late start trying to figure it out. Hard to hear the guide. Guide was sweet, but not very informative.

Limassol -Very disappointing experience - This was the worst tour excursion we have ever experienced in all of our travels. As the two men in our group are 6'5" and 6'4", we always book private tours so that they are comfortable. In this case, we were greeted by the tour guides (Raytour) with two vans which were already very full. We said that as we'd booked a private tour, this was not acceptable and that we would just get a refund of our $374. We were then crammed into a taxi because Raytour could not accommodate our reservation which was already a bad idea (they tried to get us to split up and/or to sit in the tight back row and then blamed Viator for wanting them to increase their numbers on the tour). At the first stop, our taxi drive told us where to wait for the guides. We waited for over 15 minutes and never saw the two vans or tour guides, had no idea at all what we were seeing. One gentleman finally met us as we were going back to our taxi with no explanation or apology. We then went to the next stop. Our driver told us we had to be back in the taxi at a specific time. We again had no information about where we were other than what we looked up on our own. As we went back to the taxi, we saw others from the group walking down to the beach. We got in the taxi to leave and the gentleman we'd seen as we left the first stop, stopped the taxi in the entrance to the area, had us get out to "wine taste" a few swallows of wine at the doors of the taxi. One of our men was crammed into the back of the taxi and did not get out but had the tastes passed to him in the back. As we climbed back into the taxi to return to port, the gentleman actually verbally apologized for the situation so clearly he knew it wasn't acceptable. The details of the trip included AC, wi-fi , cold drinks,, none of which we received. The entire experience was surreal and ridiculous. The only redeeming factor was our non English speaking taxi driver who tried really hard to give us some information along the way. When we contacted Viator about this unpleasant experience, we received a quick small refund. The taxi driver would've cost us money which we do not begrudge him. When we let Viator know we expected more of a refund as what we received was in no way worth the remaining cost, we got what looked to be an automated response which was a copy of the first refund notice we had been given with no more. Viator's company website says we can book with confidence and that they are committed to trust and high quality standards, which absolutely did not hold true for us in this instance. With other agencies such as Tours by Locals, Get Your Guide, etc., we will definitely be looking at booking other companies than Viator in the future. This was a very poor example excursion and follow up from Viator.
