What a fantastic day, the tour guide was fantastic, the driver was great, we stopped at great locations. The mountains, the monasteries, the restaurant for lunch, the winery, the village of Omodos

Good trip to Trodos. Everything well organised. One day spent visiting the countryside in a relaxing way.

Such a lovely tour guide and really careful driver. Thank you ever so much for such a wonderful day. Full of information. The stops at each place we visited were just long enough for each activity. A small and happy group just large enough we didn’t need it any larger. The driver Janni so safe on the mountain roads esp where on blind bends he has to avoid a lot of fallen rocks in the hillside - I felt very safely driven and looked after. I’ve forgotten (sorry menopause brain) our lovely lady tour guide - big apologies but she was so friendly and lovely, lots of information about where we were going to or the Island itself. I really enjoyed this tour and sadly it’s the end of our time in Cyprus as tomorrow we go home - we’re going to have to return to do more trips with EOS in Cyprus. Can I also say we had to book this trip today (and we cancelled another trip with another company as they failed to show for this trip yesterday) and I’m so glad I did as we wouldn’t have found out about EOS

We travele with EOS and guide Viola August 16th. This is my first experience of going to the mountain side of Cyprus after all the sea, beaches and sun. All the monasteries we visited were very beautiful and interesting. The mountain views are beautiful. The guide was very polite and very interesting to listen to. The she gave lots of interesting information on the history and culture of Cyprus. The village of Omodos is about great - narrow streets, lots of cafes and shops with local hand made staff. It was nice that at the end of the tour there was an opportunity to swim at the birthplace of Aphrodite. My expectations for this tour have been fulfilled. I highly recommend this tour and this travel agent, thank you very much for this experience.

It's my first visiting to Cyprus and first experience of excursion to Troodos Kykkos. All monasteries that we was visiting were very nice and interesting. The guide was very polite and very interesting to listen to. After I booked the excursion on the site, the manager immediately contacted me and gave me the exact address and time. My expectations from this excursion were justified. I really recommend this excursion and this tour company, thank you very much.

Communication with the travel company was great. They quickly reply to questions The guide was good - a lot of energy and willingness to help. But he had some limitations to speak English. Therefore the explanations about places we were visiting were very limited and difficult to understand. Then there was a miscommunication that resulted in the van being packed. The driver had a passenger list of 11 but the entire group was 13- so a guy had to travel all time in front, with the guide and the driver. The restaurant option available for lunch was a disaster. There is just one restaurant at the location - so you don't have a choice. Then the service takes forever (an entire bus arrived after our tour and everyone from the bus was served first, even though we had placed our order before they arrived). Then the food was average and overpriced based on the quality (you could notice they rushed to prepare our food after we have complained about the delay). It's hard to understand how this tour made the top 10 on things to do in Paphos.

It is worth to enjoy and attend this day trip. Nice guide and you see a lot. The Kykkos monastery was really nice, to travel through the Troodos mountains and the beautifull nature. The time for wine tasting as well to spend in Omodos was too short and felt rushed.

Très décevant pour le prix de l'excursion. La guide et le chauffeur était peu aimable, nous n'avons eu qu'une vingtaine de minutes au max pour chaque lieu visiter. Le rythme de la journée était assez militaire difficile d'apprécier la journée.
