He didnt engage with most people and told us the most basic information ie here's the airport, the trees.... We also had a Polish guide (which we were not informed) which sounded more interesting even though I couldn't understand her! in terms of the places Lefkara was amazing Nicosia was really interesting but wish we got more than 2 hours! Laranaca was good but again not enough time. this tour would have been souch better with a guide who axtually xares about its job. finally the coq h zqs…”

“We weren’t sure of size of vehicle we would be travelling in. A small 7 seater pulled into the hotel car park, no sign in window. We eventually realised he was looking for us. The vehicle was cramped for the journey we took. I was lucky I was in the front. My wife and friends found it uncomfortable. The driver/guide was very polite and knowledgeable, gave us lots of info. Kourion was interesting an ancient settlement.Then took us to Limassol harbour where we had lunch then not much time to explore. Lefkara was a pretty traditional village. All in all a decent day out tarnished by mode of transport.”

“Interesting city, blend of two cultures and epoques even more so divided by recent events Nicosia, especially Old town is one of the things you should see in Cyprus. Unfortunately, in August is very hot, and three - four hours free time is too much. Most of the people from the bus returned hour or two early and waited in the coffee shops nearby. Drive was also longer then said since there were congestions on the highway and too many stops... Also, driver was almost angry, didn't said hello, nor goodbye, even turned his head when passengers entered or exited the bus. Veru rude.”

Travel inland from Ayia Napa by minibus with local guide Stavroula or another English-speaking guide. Visit Fikardou’s old stone lanes, Machairas Monastery and lace-making Lefkara, then make halloumi and bread before a family-run village lunch with wine or water.

“The villages, churches and mountains were absolutely beautiful but the trip could have been done in half the time. The food was amazing, especially the snacks in Fikardou but where we had lunch was a bit disappointing. It was off the road with nothing there but the restaurant. It would have been nicer if they kept the donkey sanctuary as part of the trip.”
