“It is a very interesting trip if you want to know more about when the Turks invaded Cyprus in 1974. It is very sad to see the ghost town with all the empty derelict buildings and hotels. The old walled City is beautiful to walk around also the Archiological sites. Be prepared it is a very long day. 11 hours. As we were a large group it was difficult to hear what the guide was saying. It would help if he had a microphone and speaker like a guide had on a different tour. Our guide can't remember his name was very knowledgeable.”

9.Full Day Troodos Guided Safari Tour with Pick Up

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 68 reviews · 8 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $66

Travel from Paphos in a small safari vehicle through Troodos Forest, stopping at Kykkos Monastery, Roudias Bridge, waterfalls, Omodos, and Aphrodite’s Rock. Guides such as Vassos, George, Thalis, and Lambros are praised for adding humor and local insight, but vehicle comfort and commentary can vary.

“The tour I paid for was meant to have an English speaking guide. The ‘guide/driver’ never introduced himself, never told us his name (another driver told us he was Philip). His entire commentary was the name of the towns as we passed through. No commentary on the monastery or it’s history (the monastery is beautiful!). His word for ‘waterfall’ was ‘water’ He never stopped at mt Olympus. When I asked where it was he said ‘Toroodas’… which we didn’t stop at. The jeep didn’t have operating seatbelts and the back door opened during the drive. The scenery and drive itself were pleasant but the overall day was very disappointing.”

Journey was very choppy & though we didn’t get ill, quite a lot of others suffered with sea sickness. Seating (sun beds) is a little cramped but this meant we got to know our immediate neighbours & they were lovely! The coach journey back to Paphos Harbour was also a bit too long & also a little cramped.”
