We where 4 in our group with another couple to make 6 guests. Our host/driver was Panicos. Was very friendly. Have us a lot of information on the area. A bit to talkative would have been nice to enjoy the countryside in silence now and again. He was excellent at taking photos for us to share on your website. Would also have liked for him to take some with my camera that didn’t include the other couple. He was a wonderful host for the day and would highly recommend both him and this excursion.

Had the best day out with Christina. She is incredibly knowledgable and so lovely. The tour was fantastic value for money, ate and drank so much, couldn’t have dinner when I got back. There were only 3 of us on this trip so it really did feel like a private tour of this beautiful island. If your in the are I would thoroughly recommend doing.

Elena was passionate, knowledgable and pleasant to be with! The tour took us through the mountains in a comfortable van. We had cheese, olive oil, wine and delicious food. Excellent!

From the pick-up at our hotel till the drop-off, everything was just amazing. Our guide was Elena. Elena is an outstanding guide and a fascinating person, very easy to talk to, making the trip smooth and relaxed. She's a very good driver! She provided a lot of information in different topics (history, culture etc.). We visited three vinyeards where we were offered tastings and we could chat with vinyeard owners. An absolute highlight was a visit to a one of kind Ayia Mavri winery in Koliani. Xinisteri forever!

Fabulous day visiting small food and drink producers in the area around Paphos including villages in theTroodos mountains. Christina our guide was amazing, so enthusiastic and knowledgeable. A lovely friendly trip that gives a great insight into artisan producers. Highlights were lunch at a restaurant where they were celebrating a local wedding and seeing the sun set over the mountains from a beautiful monastery.

We went on the Troodos Mountains Food & Wine Tour from Paphos with Christina and had a really interesting and fun day out. Before the tour I contacted the company to ask a few questions and all the communications throughout were friendly and professional. We booked and the day before the tour were contacted by email to confirm the details around pickup. Christina arrived at the hotel at 9am in a 6 seater "Cyprus Taste Tours" branded people carrier which was very comfortable throughout the day for the 3 of us on that day's tour. One of the things that I really enjoyed about the day was the way that the small group size meant that we could interact and ask questions of both Christina and the people we met. I understand that the itinerary can change between tours, but our first stop was at a 'Cyprus Delight' shop, where we were shown some of the history of how it's made and tasted lots of different flavours: many of which I'd never have even considered putting together. After a folk museum visit we went up towards the mountains to a small, family run Halloumi and Anari maker to see how they are made and try some of the delicious cheeses with a variety of accompaniments. Travelling on through the mountains, the next stop was a winery where we were taken through the production process and taken into the cellars and the bottling area. To say that we got close to the production line was an understatement: at one point we went between the guy doing the bottling and his machine! Obviously it would have been rude to leave without sampling some of their wines, and we were given information about each as we tried it. From the winery we went for lunch, which is included in the tour: we noticed that it's an optional extra on many of them. The taverna we stopped at had some amazing views over the mountains, and the food was delicious. The dishes kept on coming, and they made some alternatives for the vegetarian in our group (he'd let the tour know ahead of time so that it could be prepared). As you'd expect, it was traditional Cypriot food. After lunch we went to the Chrysorrogiatissa Monastery and were shown around by Christina and then moved on to an olive farm to see how olive oil was made. In addition to looking around, we were taken to their sampling room to try a variety of different olive oils to see the differences between the various types and also trying a variety of other products they make. The 'sampling room' really doesn't do it justice. It was a beautiful room with panoramic views over the mountain and valley, and the lady (whose name I've unfortunately forgotten) made it a really fun experience. We were then taken back to our hotel where we arrived at around 5pm and were given a little treat. I've been on tours in the past where it has felt like I've paid to be taken on an extended sales pitch but that definitely wasn't case here. Although there were things for sale at the various stops there never felt like any pressure to buy them or even look at them if you didn't want to. Although the visits on the tour were terrific in their own right, what really made the day was the conversations and discussions with Christina through the day. The information on everything from day to day life in Cyprus, the challenges faced with water at the moment, the history of the Cypriot grape vines and the way that wine making is changing really made me feel like I understood the country far more at the end of the day than I had at the start. The final personal little touch was that a few days after the tour I got a link to an album containing photos of the day. Christina had checked that we were ok to be photographed and we knew she was taking pictures, but it really was lovely to get some pictures of the day (far better composed than the ones I'd taken!) which I added to my own.

Amazing day. No long drives and it was done in a comfortable vehicle. Elena picked myself up and two others and off we went. She was so helpful all day with tips but also got to know us. First stop was a halloumi stop and each stop just got better. The wine was a highlight. Truly my favorite day in Paphos!

Elena was a perfect guide. Lunch was full of tasty dishes. Beautiful also tha tasting wine experience. Village troodos is very small

Wonderful day out, excellent tour guide with great local knowledge. Stops at wineries interesting with a wide range of tasting, ideal for wine lovers. Excellent Mezi lunch at local taverna. The views are breathtaking a wonderful day trip.

Myra our tour guide was excellent very knowledgeable and friendly. The tour took us to places we would never of found ourselves, meeting locals and enjoying the flavours of local dishes and locally produce food and wine.

We enjoyed the tour very much, we had a really good fun and got to know local and different places of Cyprus, special thank you to Cristina who was a wonderful host ☺️

A fantastic way to see the island. Maria was a brilliant and very knowledgeable host. An authentic lunch in a beautiful location. Even the rain and thunder couldn’t dampen our spirits! Would definitely recommend.

Myra was excellent, and the tour was both fascinating and rich in history and insights. The locals were incredibly welcoming, and we had the chance to purchase some delicious treats along the way. It’s a wonderful way to explore Cyprus and its culture. Thank you for an unforgettable experience and for arranging a cake for my fiancée’s birthday. Exceptional service!

We had a great time on this tour. Elena was wonderful and I will recommend to others! We learned about the area and the wineries we visited.

Outstanding! Christina's knowledge, enthusiasm, and love for Cyprus ran through the day like a golden thread. Cannot recommend too highly.
