we both loved the mosaics and the theatre. Kolossi Castle and the wine tour was fabulous. our guide Sophia and driver Yanis were fantastic - great commentary and safe driving. I could happily have not done Aphrodites Rock - really busy, very hot and it was literally a 30 minute photo stop (which for me was 28 minutes too long) it would have been lovely to have had a guided walking tour of Limassol rather than a quick walk to the pedestrianised area and then left to our own devices, but the tour did what it said on the tin. we really enjoyed it. If you do any outside tours I would recommend taking an umbrella to keep the sun off you and provide a little shade.

Had an amazing experience on the Limassol Walking Tour with John. His deep knowledge of the city's history and architecture was impressive. You can tell he is passionate about what he does, which created such a positive atmosphere throughout the walk. John took the time to explain everything in detail (from places to visit, local cuisine, history etc) . I would highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Limassol!
