The Troodos Mountain jeep tour made our trip to Cyprus! Konstantinos was a phenomenal guide - really enthusiastic and informative for the duration of the day, despite the heat. He took us round all of the key sites of the mountains, taking us away from the typical tourist areas at times. The restaurant he brought us to was also lovely. It is definitely important to follow the advice to wear sensible shoes because it is a bit of a climb to get to the waterfall! I would also recommend wearing swim wear for a little cold water plunge. Thanks for a great experience!

We enjoyed the tour! After reading some reviews, we had our doubts, but were pleasantly surprised. Don't book it if you want to spend a long time walking around one city, but it's great for seeing all the highlights in a short time. Points for improvement: the English guide was sometimes difficult to understand and we were dropped off at the wrong pick-up point on the way back, which meant we had to walk quite a distance. Don't expect extreme luxury, but we definitely recommend it!

It was very informative in terms of the landscape and vegetation. Our guide was very attentive and friendly. The visit to the waterfall wasn't really worth it as it was very dry and there was only one pool filled with water to cool off in. Otherwise, we really enjoyed the trip. We had a fun group. We recommend it!
