Highly recommend this tour - book it! It has all the elements for a full day of adventuring and exploring a diverse range of Cyprus! Driver is professional, nice, friendly and knowledgeable. Akamas is a hidden and excellent exploring/hiking spot. 4x4 ride was awesome and complete with a tasty lunchtime meal. Also the boat cruise was the best beautiful blue sea swims.

I did the Finding Famagusta tour with Cyprus Taste Tours. It was scheduled as a group tour, but because participants dropped out last minute, they ran it as private tour for me with no additional markup (which was deeply appreciated!). Beginning to end, the staff at Cyprus Taste Tours were friendly, informative, communicative and wonderful at organizing my tour. I did most of Cyprus independently by Intercity bus, but was absolutely thrilled I visited Famagusta with Cyprus Taste Tours. I learned so much about the history of Famagusta and Cyprus generally, and I had exposure to places and people on my tour I never would have had traveling independently. It was just a terrific tour overall, and the guides - Louisa and Marina - were just awesome! It was like hanging out with two good friends all day. From pickup to drop off, the lunch, the wine tasting, everything was just perfect! I highly recommend Cyprus Taste Tours and would happily book another tour with them when I return to Cyprus in the future. Wonderful tour company! Thank you so much for everything, I had such a great day!

Started out with a honey producer, then on to haloumi, next soutzoukos, monastery winery, lunch at a local taverna, and last but not least a local winery! Great way to spend the day. We had 4 guides for the 2 of us, every question was answered, lots of great information about local products and places to visit. Louisa and her staff are friendly and professional. Highly recommended for locals and tourists alike, we've lived here for almost 3 years and never would have found these places. Look forward to another trip in a different region!

I found this last minute & we went on our last day. The tour guide picked us up from across the road of our hotel. The sea caves are beautiful with the ship wreck close by (be careful & watch your step, it’s uneven). The lagoon was absolutely beautiful. It was cloudy when we arrived but was told the water was 26 degrees centigrade. It’s very deep when you first get in but a short swim towards the shore & you’ll be able to stand up. You spend an hour in the lagoon & then another hour in Latchi harbour for something to eat & a browse. Baths of Aphrodite were nice but I think there’s a larger waterfall on the nature trail, but you won’t have enough time to see it as you only stop there for half an hour (be sure to try the ice cream at the shop!). The wine tasting was ok, they have a selection of whites, reds, rosés & liquors; you can buy some bottles if you like what you taste. Only reason I haven’t given this 5 stars is because the bus was tiny & uncomfortable for me as I’m 6’3”. The tour guide was knowledgeable & educated us on the trip. Beware; if you wish to stop off at a place other than where you got on...tell him first otherwise he will NOT be happy - he scalded us for not telling him. It was a lovely day & for €32, you really can’t moan - there are local excursions for just the Baths of Aphrodite for €30 alone. Recommended to all :)

We visited the zoo the other day, it has most animals you could think off, they seemed well kept for the most part, a zookeeper mark allowed us to get a once in a lifetime photo with a giraffe, and you could tell he cared deeply about the animals, thought it was a great day out. We did think the monkey enclosures could be bigger and were a little on the small side, again with the birds and the ostriches. But other than that, the majority of the animals seemed to have big time enclosures and plenty of space to roam. And they are all rescue animals from what I understood, so have deffo got a better quality of life. I wouldn’t eat there though we went to the cafe which had run out of hand sanitiser when we entered, so we informed the staff, but then when we left it still hadn’t been refilled which during corona times is quite irresponsible. But if you like going to the zoo, take your own lunch and hand sanitiser and you will have a good day out ????
