Wonderful Bespoke Tour with a Personal Touch - We went on a half-day tour of Paphos with our 15 year old son and it was absolutely fantastic. Maria, our guide, was outstanding - knowledgeable, warm and incredibly attentive to our needs. She was especially kind and patient with our son, which made the experience even more meaningful for our family. We wanted a bespoke tour and Maria worked with us to personalise the day. Highlights included a visit to a loukoumi workshop, where we not only learned about this Cypriot sweet but also bought some to take home. We also explored Paphos Harbour, saw beautiful beaches and visited a monastery, which was peaceful and fascinating. Maria answered all our questions with enthusiasm and insight. A huge thank you to her. She deserves to do really well and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend her to anyone looking for a memorable experience in Cyprus.
