Our itinerary had to be adjusted due to weather, but it still ended up being a perfect day. Fitos taught us a ton about the island's history and culture and we loved the atmosphere in the mountains. I would go out of my way to book with this company again when I return to Cyprus.

Our family of four had a lovely day, full of experiences and beautiful sites. While Fitos, our tour guide, took us to numerous monasteries, he explained us about the history and culture of Cyprus, including his childhood when his family had to flee from their home located in the northern region of the island. We enjoyed the beautiful nature during driving on exciting serpentines in the mountains, and we stopped at some places, either to have a great Cyprus coffee, a tasty local lunch or to have a look at a traditional village. At the end of the day we arrived back full of great experiences.Our cruise ship stopped in Limassol for a very limited time.

Our cruise ship stopped in Limassol for a very limited time. We (2 couples) wanted to get out into the mountains and see the monasteries and enjoy the countryside. Marius was a great driver and tour guide, and we had a very comfortable van. He met us right as we exited the ship, and took us all over the mountains to Kykkos monastery, Trooditissa monastery, and to Omodos village. The scenery was stunning. On the way back to the ship, he took us to the Kolossi castle, which in the early 1300s was under the control of the Knights Templar. Marius was extremely personable and knowledgeable about the sites we visited. He even bought us some thick, rich Cyprus coffee. I believe we had the best tour of Cyprus of anyone on the ship. Finally and importantly, Marius got us back to the ship right on time. I highly recommend this tour with iTaxi for your cruise ship stop in Cyprus! Note to iTaxi: we toured on Tuesday, March 28, 2023. Please thank Marius for us again. He was super!Our one day private trip was fabulous! Our guide was very knowledgeable about the history of Cyprus and also gave us an authentic experience of Cyprus food and culture. I do plan to go back to Cyprus for another visit and plan to use their services.
