Highly recommend this tour - book it! It has all the elements for a full day of adventuring and exploring a diverse range of Cyprus! Driver is professional, nice, friendly and knowledgeable. Akamas is a hidden and excellent exploring/hiking spot. 4x4 ride was awesome and complete with a tasty lunchtime meal. Also the boat cruise was the best beautiful blue sea swims.

I did the Finding Famagusta tour with Cyprus Taste Tours. It was scheduled as a group tour, but because participants dropped out last minute, they ran it as private tour for me with no additional markup (which was deeply appreciated!). Beginning to end, the staff at Cyprus Taste Tours were friendly, informative, communicative and wonderful at organizing my tour. I did most of Cyprus independently by Intercity bus, but was absolutely thrilled I visited Famagusta with Cyprus Taste Tours. I learned so much about the history of Famagusta and Cyprus generally, and I had exposure to places and people on my tour I never would have had traveling independently. It was just a terrific tour overall, and the guides - Louisa and Marina - were just awesome! It was like hanging out with two good friends all day. From pickup to drop off, the lunch, the wine tasting, everything was just perfect! I highly recommend Cyprus Taste Tours and would happily book another tour with them when I return to Cyprus in the future. Wonderful tour company! Thank you so much for everything, I had such a great day!

Segway Station was set up to bring the Segway tour experience to Nicosia. It is located at the corner of Aeschylou Street and a small, quaint walking street which includes a coffee shop, a bar and various craft shops. At Segway Station you can find a relaxing cafe/lounge area where you can chill out before and after your tour. On your Segway Tour we will show you Old Nicosia as you have never seen it before. Magnificent architecture, traditional alleys and workshops, the haunting green line, and nooks and crannies known only to locals. We will look at Old Nicosia while riding the Segways, which are zero-emission, environmentally friendly, noiseless electric personal transporters that enable you to take in over 2 hours, sights that could otherwise take one or two days to see, under the hot sun. We will be making brief stops at each landmark to allow for deeper appreciation of the sights, as well as photo opportunities.

I found this last minute & we went on our last day. The tour guide picked us up from across the road of our hotel. The sea caves are beautiful with the ship wreck close by (be careful & watch your step, it’s uneven). The lagoon was absolutely beautiful. It was cloudy when we arrived but was told the water was 26 degrees centigrade. It’s very deep when you first get in but a short swim towards the shore & you’ll be able to stand up. You spend an hour in the lagoon & then another hour in Latchi harbour for something to eat & a browse. Baths of Aphrodite were nice but I think there’s a larger waterfall on the nature trail, but you won’t have enough time to see it as you only stop there for half an hour (be sure to try the ice cream at the shop!). The wine tasting was ok, they have a selection of whites, reds, rosés & liquors; you can buy some bottles if you like what you taste. Only reason I haven’t given this 5 stars is because the bus was tiny & uncomfortable for me as I’m 6’3”. The tour guide was knowledgeable & educated us on the trip. Beware; if you wish to stop off at a place other than where you got on...tell him first otherwise he will NOT be happy - he scalded us for not telling him. It was a lovely day & for €32, you really can’t moan - there are local excursions for just the Baths of Aphrodite for €30 alone. Recommended to all :)
