I had a great time with this Kykkos tour. I was planning to join with my friend, but he was feeling sick in the morning, and I had to participate alone. But I was never bored. Marina, the guide, explained a lot of the Cypriot history, culture, society, and politics, which was a great fun. The streets in the mountain villeges were incredibly narrow, but Ektras showed an excellent driving skill and I enjoyed the whole trip. The tomb of the first president Makarios is a must-see.

It was a very interesting excursion. Enough time in the places to visit, although we wanted to spend more time in Petra Tou Romiu, but we understand that both the guide and the driver, after 10 hours of work, deserved a break. Very well. We recommend it.

We had really nice day out. Lady called Tatjana who introduced us everything about places we went was fantastic. Can ask more. Very satisfied

They were very communicative and efficient. We got to see so many things in one day and learned a lot! I would recommend this tour :)

It was a whole day activity. The guide and also the driver were professional.
