What people are saying about Paphos
Overall rating
Debbie was incredible as a guide, had cracking banter and clearly was passionate about the history of Cyprus. Highlight of the day was swimming in the blue lagoon, but I also loved seeing the gorge, but you do need to be quick on your feet to keep up within the timeframe! The super female dog (inside joke for anyone with the pleasure of meeting Debbie) has 10/10 driving skills and to be honest I wouldn’t want to do this trip with anyone else, I felt safe on the bumpiest slopes and all in all this was a great day and I highly recommend! Ask for Debbie if you can - I wouldn’t want to do this with anyone else.
We had a great day on the blue lagoon and Aphrodite trip. Bus travel was good with the air conditioning, nice stops along the way. Tour guide was very helpful and very knowledgeable about the local area and history. Overall very pleased with the trip.
Our guide was fantastic and did the whole day at a leisurely pace. He was really informative and funny. He had a great depth of knowledge.
We loved our day trip with Anna! She was so friendly and so informative, and the locations were amazing!
Saw one gigantic turtle and a cute green turtle, friendly guides highly recomend
