The guide, the driver, the new and air-conditioned bus, the respect of the program, everything was very good. We added the house of Dionysus to the excursion (maybe to be included in the package). Everything we saw was interesting and as described in the program.

Everyone was so kind, I loved our guide, her sense of humor and notable passion for history and explaining it to tourists! Everything was done amazingly, definitely looking forward to another time!

The tour was excellently organized and the guide, Olga, was very knowledgeable and helpful. We highly recommend this tour.

I had a great time. It was a perfect combination of sightseeing, history and mythology, all thanks to Olga.

perfect, shame not to add at least half an hour to Paphos to take the time to have lunch by the port.
