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!

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 :)

Fantastic day out, the tour guide was so informative and told us information about the history of the island and info on each stop in between so the drive to each destination was not boring. It did not stick exactly to the itinerary but we did not mind as it was all so interesting and we still visited places we would have missed if we did not do the tour. Highly recommend.

The jeep ride was a bit too fast for my liking, especially on the winding mountain dirt roads. We enjoyed the natural reserves and the beautiful natural views though. It would have been nice to get more info on the places we were visiting, but maybe there wasn't much to them apart from the pretty views. The boat cruise was ok, lots of passangers, an hour to the Blue Lagoon, and hour there and an hour back. The Blue Lagoon itself was a bay full of other ships like ours, I thought it was going to be a little more quaint. Overall it was alright, always an experience and new sights seen.
