Wonderful day out - What a fantastic day. We had a lovely time and saw some amazing things. The boat trip was great, and the 4x4 safari was excellent. We had a very informative and knowledgeable guide. I highly recommend this tour.

Incredible experience with an even better driver - What an amazing experience...Rick in all his glory made the whole day memorable. The Rick and roll bus with so many jokes, added information, bonus views along the way and some good tunes. It's an experience I will never forget and would go again every day if I could while here, the whole day I've never had that much fun, Rick made the day! The safari massage even helped a friend's bowel movement so if the holiday constipation has got to you it's an added little bonus to help😂.

Pleasant but could be improved - We really enjoyed the first stop, the walk into the gorge, we were sensible though, you need shoes you can properly walk in, this is not suitable for flip flops, heels, sandals. Make sure you take plenty of water it’s very hot in the summer months. Next stop was a cafe - they did take card! Go to the toilet here! Then a viewpoint and Aphrodite’s bath before lunch. Lunch was a little disappointing, lots of carbs and a bit of chicken and a salad. The vehicle was a td5 landrover, we are a family of four sat in the back, a mother and two kids were sat on a row behind the driver with a mother and daughter up front with the driver. We read lots of reviews about how good the guides were. Ours was talking about lot to the woman in the front but we couldn’t hear him up at the back, with the windows and the breeze it was impossible to hear him. He perhaps needs some kind of intercom speaker system. For the price we paid I was surprised we were not provided with water, a cool box strapped on the top of the lady with some bottles of water would have gone down a treat. The boat to the blue lagoon was packed and there wasn’t enough room for everyone to sit. Wine and watermelon offered out at the start of the journey was excellent. We took our own snorkels and the snorkelling wasn’t very impressive, my son did get a new pair of sunglasses he found on the bottom of the sea though. Overall I think it was a nice trip but I’m not convinced it was worth the money.

All the drivers who are... - All the drivers who are also guides were very good at what they did. With care for nature and helpfulness towards the tourist! They knew a lot about everything we got to see.

Amazing - Really great tour, the tour hides were amazing, funny and could tell a lot about Paphos. Especially the tour guide Andres - fantastic, helped with everything, great driver, showed everything about the land and harvesting fruits. The boat drive also was nice, as well as the lunch, definitely worth the money. Giving four stars for only one reason - the communication with the tour operator. Well, it was very poor, nobody answers the phone, or if they do, they hung up and block the number, Viator also was not helpful in this situation, but everything turned out great, would advise to contact the tour operator in writing only.

Trip around Akamas - The trip was amazing and the drivers were very kind. They pick us up on time and followed the planning even after a stop of 1h because of a flat tire. The lunch could had been better but doesnt't matter.

Nobody showed up at the pickup point - We were at the pickup point and waited for 45 Minutes. Nobody showed up!! After calling the contact number many times (nobody answered) i had to call many different viator offices from greece to cyprus. Nobody could help me. Nobody was responsible. Then i was told we were not at the pickup point at the right time, so they start the tour without us. Thats a lie. Nobody showed up. We were there 10 min before the meeting time. So we are really dissaponted, because we were really looking forward to that tour.
