Literally not a bad word to say, Konstantinos was one of the best tour guys I've ever had. We had an absolutely amazing day out with him and never once did he make us feel rushed. He was informative, funny and made a point to remember all of our names. Basically could not rate this tour high enough, if you come to Cyprus, this tour is an absolute must and everyone should book with him.

I liked the fact we saw many different places that we would never ordinarily get chance to visit and the time for each stop was just right, the scenery along the way was also breathtaking
