This tour exceeded our expectations and was the highlight of our first visit to Cyprus.
Our guide, Helena, picked us promptly at our hotel in a modern and comfortable van. She let us know that, as a result of a cancellation, we would have a private tour. We appreciated the fact that the company carried through with its commitment.
Helena is an absolutely outstanding guide, charming and responsive with a good sense of humor and absolute English fluency. A native of Cyprus who briefly shared her own poignant family history when the country was separated, she gave a brief and objective overview of the country’s history which we greatly appreciated.
Helena has an extensive background in the tourism industry, and her experience showed as the day progressed. Her enthusiasm for showing off her country was contagious, and we learned about Cypriot cheese and honey and wine and, yes, donkeys.
We have enjoyed various kinds of food and other tours in Europe, Asia, South America, Australia, and South Africa, and this was among the best in giving us a flavor of the country and its people.
We ended the day with full stomachs and a significantly increased understanding and appreciation of Cyprus. Thank you, Helena and Cyprus Taste Tours!
