Paphos Travel Guides (Updated September 2026)

Value for money and an incredible experience. The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable. The swim in the blue lagoon was fantastic, the colour of the sea was beautiful. Would definitely recommend 😊

We really enjoyed our day out with Anna (guide) and Lambros (driver). We were collected from our hotel and after picking up the rest of the travellers we headed off onto our first stop, Anna shared information about Paphos, the different areas, agriculture, geography, wine growing and history on Cyprus and a bit about Greek mythology, it sounds like a lot but it was great. Our first stop was Aphrodite baths, followed by a short ride to the boat for a 40 minute sail to blue lagoon which was amazing we had an hour of swimming, the boat staff were great and then 40 mins back to the bus which then took us you to Boli for lunch. We then went down to the sea caves and the ship wreck before heading back for drop off. You do spend quite a bit of time on the bus but it is air conditioned and Anna was a great guide, she was very helpful and considerate especially for families with young children.

Thank you to Elena for an excellent experience. We would highly recommend this without hesitation and consider it to be excellent value for money. . It felt like we were out for the day with a good friend. The tour was as stated with a few extra detours for our enjoyment. Every stop was excellent. Loved seeing the donkeys. The wine tastings were really interesting and well organised and Fiona at Vasilikon Winery was both interesting and fun. Lunch was delicious (huge portions) with a stunning view and the Botanical garden was interesting, with a wonderfully hospitable host. Please don’t be put off by the booking screen saying there are only 4 collection points. Contact the company to arrange pick up. They are brilliant at getting back to you. Again, thanks to Elena for a memorable day.

This was one of those days out that was so memorable. It was only ourselves and another family and Reno was a very good guide. We went to several stops and he explained about the history and was happy to answer questions, he was very relaxed with timings and was happy for us to take our time looking around. The highlight was the Botanical gardens, we were made to feel so welcome and it felt like we were made to feel at home whilst we were there. A slice of Paradise worth exploring. This ended up being a full day of exploring and was more than we expected, partly because the time spent at the Botanical gardens and the relaxed atmosphere meaning it was hard for us to alll leave to go back to the hotel. My daughter had fun, especially as several of the stops were child orientated, she loved seeing the cats and feeding the donkeys.

Fantastic experience - knowledgable guide, sea swimming, unlimited soft drinks and wine / beer.

What a wonderful day. My daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed the day. Our tour guide was extremely knowledgeable . It really felt like our own personal tour guide. I would recommend this tour.

Absolute must fantastic experience the crew so friendly and helpful 👏👏👏👏👏

We had a lovely time at the monastery. The hermit cave was well worth the visit. We then went to Sofias house where she made fresh baked bread home made halloumi and Cypriot coffee. The 2 winery’s were very informative and plenty of local wine tasting. Our guide,Janis, was excellent and made us all laugh. Highly recommended!

We had a lovely experience. The puppies were clean happy and well looked after! It was lovely to hear all the stories and how many puppies have been luckily rescued! Definitely recommend going to visit for a lovely little cuddle!

5* from start to finish. Staff were excellent, welcoming, knowledgeable and friendly. Lots of pool noodles available to help with swimming off the boat and the fixed ladders made getting in and out easy. Excellent viewing in the underwater area and were lucky enough to see the turtle swimming over the shipwreck. Plenty of drinks available which were regularly replenished. Good value for money and would definitely recommend.

We just had the best day! We booked a self drive boat online a few days ago while on holiday and it was all very easy to do. We arrived a little earlier and the staff gave us our briefing on where to go, where not to go etc. We were given life jackets, a cool box and some goggles. The captain came and got us and drove us out of the harbour. He explained how to drive the boat in great detail and how to use the anchor. We were then left to our own devices and we set off straight to the blue lagoon! It was the most amazing place, I have never seen anything like it. We anchored up and went snorkelling, dived off the boat and went to the ice cream boat for a cold drink. We head back to the just outside the harbour, called the staff and they came and picked us up. Petrol cost 35 euros and were out for 4 hours. It honestly was so perfect and we have made core memories that we will always remember. Thank you!

I went on a buggy tour with my dad and it was brilliant Chris was really kind and explained how to drive the buggy very thoroughly and the drive down to the waterfalls was brilliant. I would definitely hire with them again and recommend this to anyone in the Paphos area. Chris was so nice he even offered to give us and a few others a lift back into coral bay near where we were staying. The waterfalls itself are stunning and fun for all the family.

Beautiful trip to the blue lagoon Super nice sea and nice cooling in the water Trip duration was long enough

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.

He was informative, friendly and happy to answer any questions, making every stop interesting and enjoyable.

He made sure everyone was comfortable while still giving us the opportunity to see some incredible places.We wouldn't hesitate to recommend Andreas to anyone visiting Cyprus. His knowledge, professionalism and genuine passion for the island make his tours something special. We will definitely be booking with him again when we return to Cyprus in the future.

I've been on two boats. This one was a lot smaller; however, they pretty much gave unlimited wine, juice, and fruit once the boat docked. Pretty sure the other one only gave 1 glass and 1 slice of fruit.There's not much to see through the glass bottom, and they don't offer snorkeling gear, but that's fine since there aren't really any fish around anyway.The downstairs area is good for cooling down, though, and usually completely empty.There were also a few "beds" that people laid on... come early if you want those!
