Fun day trip - Fun 7 hour day trip to Limassol via Kourrion amphitheater, Kolossi Castle and the Baths of Aphrodite ❤️ lovely guide Sophia talked us through the history of the places we visited and showed us round. Two and a half hours in Limassol independent looking at markets and the port. Plenty of time for lunch. The only down side was the time allotted to Kourrion, Kolossi and Aphrodite baths, around 30 mins in each. But it gives you a taste of the region and you can go back again more easily having already visited. I would definitely recommend.

Fabulous day - What a fabulous day! We loved every minute it and thought it excellent value for money. Sofia gave us just the right amount of information and was happy if we wanted to ‘go it alone’ rather than follow her. Adamus our driver was great and drove the coach well. Great stops and very well planned out.

You can see a lot in Cyprus in one day thanks to this excursion - Thank you Qualiday and Sofia for this great day!!! While driving on the bus, we learned a lot of interesting facts about Cypriot history in general and not just about the places we visited. Personally, I would have preferred to spend more time in Kourion and perhaps skipped Kolossi Castle, but everyone's preferences are different and it's a group tour at an unbeatable price. There's not much to see in the castle, but there aren't that many castles in Cyprus and it's on the way. But Kourion is absolutely amazing, you could easily spend half a day here: ancient mosaics, amphitheaters, breathtaking views of the sea...
After that, we spent a good two hours in Limassol, where we had free time. On the way back, of course, we stopped at the most famous place in Cyprus: Aphrodite's Rock. According to legend, this is where the goddess of love came into the world. Whether that was true or not, the place is just beautiful... If I come back, I would definitely book other tours with Qualiday.

Poor coach co - The tour guide Sophia was very knowledgeable and spoke a lot about the trip and places visited. Only down side was we had to ask her when we got off the coach as the microphone/speaker system was not working on the coach. The driver could not sort it, he also had to turn off the engine and wait to open and close the door to let people on and off with a remote fob as the door qould not qork inside the coach? Got very hot on the coach due to this and with it being around 50 people on board. Ended up with too much free time in limassol, thank heavens for the Curly Wolf bar, great staff, drinks and choices of food. We felt we missed a lot of the information Dophia gave and that made for a spoilt trip. Hopefully they will use a better coach company next time, wasted a lot of money on the trip and didn't learn about the sites

Okayish - Pretty much a glorified bus, go to these places but have to pay to get in them. Cheaper to hire a car for the day and visit the places especially if there is more than one of you going
