Two amazing days
We had the pleasure of spending two fantastic days exploring Cyprus with Andreas, and we honestly couldn't recommend him highly enough.
Before our first tour, I had quite a few questions, and Andreas was incredibly patient, helpful and reassuring in answering every one of them. From the moment we met him, it was clear we were in good hands. He was funny, friendly, incredibly knowledgeable and always made sure everyone was comfortable and enjoying themselves.
Our first adventure took us through the stunning Troodos Mountains and was one of the highlights of our holiday. The itinerary was perfectly planned and gave us the chance to experience the real Cyprus. We visited an abandoned monastery, admired a beautiful waterfall, and even ventured off-road in the jeep, which the whole family loved. We enjoyed a delicious lunch at a traditional trout farm before wandering through the picturesque village of Omodos with its charming streets and local shops. We also visited the excellent Linos Winery, where we learnt about the winemaking process and sampled some fantastic local wines. Every stop was unique and interesting, and Andreas shared fascinating stories and historical information throughout the day. By the end of the tour, we all had a different favourite stop, which says a lot about how varied and enjoyable the experience was. My personal favourite was the Linos Winery.
We enjoyed the first tour so much that we immediately booked a second personalised tour with Andreas to explore even more of the island, with plans to visit Lefkara, Nicosia and Larnaca.
Our day began in the beautiful mountain village of Lefkara, where we wandered through the charming streets and bought some freshly made traditional Cypriot delights. We then continued to Nicosia, where Andreas' knowledge really brought the city's fascinating history to life. We visited the impressive Venetian Walls, the oldest cathedral and the Archbishop's Palace before crossing the UN buffer zone into the Turkish-controlled side of the city. There we visited the largest mosque and explored the bustling bazaar, giving us the unique opportunity to experience both sides of the divided capital.
Unfortunately, the extreme heat became too much for two elderly members of our group, so we decided to cut our time in Nicosia short and skip our planned visit to Larnaca. Andreas couldn't have handled the situation better. He immediately adapted the itinerary and took us to some wonderful alternative locations, including a beautiful traditional bakery next to a Neolithic site, the stunning St George's Cliffs (the White Cliffs of Cyprus) and the breathtaking Rocks of Aphrodite. His flexibility, care and professionalism ensured the day remained enjoyable for everyone.
Across both tours, the vehicle was comfortable, spacious and exceptionally well air-conditioned, which made travelling in the summer heat much more enjoyable. Andreas' passion for Cyprus is infectious, and his knowledge of the island's history, culture and hidden gems made every stop memorable.
If you're visiting Cyprus and want to experience far more than the usual tourist attractions, book a tour with Andreas. Whether you're interested in history, culture, food, breathtaking scenery or simply seeing the authentic side of the island, he delivers an unforgettable experience.
Thank you, Andreas, for two incredible days that became one of the highlights of our holiday. We will definitely be booking with you again when we return to Cyprus.
