The tour was excellent. The organization of the tour, the selected destinations and our guide Helena were amazing. We would do the tour at any time again.

Overall, I would highly recommend! You get a peak into Cypriot culture and get to experience how they live and eat. Here's more details about my experience.. We were picked up & dropped off at our hotel which made it very convenient. Tour Guide: our tour guide was Panico and he was excellent! Very friendly, knowledgeable, approachable and welcoming. Happy to answer any questions and accommodate all guests to ensure they were comfortable. You definitely get your money's worth with this tour- on ours we visited: • a small family farm that makes halloumi, we were able to watch this & sample it - it was great! • winery where we tried 9 different wines and zivania • bee museum where we tried honey made there and dessert wine • lunch in a restaurant in the mountains- the food was EXCELLENT! • Lefkara village (stunning little village) where we got to walk around and explore • Donkey farm where we got to feed donkeys and try donkey's milk, a liquor made from donkey's milk and other nibbles. Myself & my husband thoroughly enjoyed the day, everything ran very smoothly and would recommend to anyone visiting Cyprus - especially foodies!

Spent today on a brilliant tour with Panicos. The small group works really well especially for anyone who's neurodiverse. We enjoyed all the producers we visited and had plenty of opportunities to ask questions. Vegetarian was well catered for at lunchtime. The fact we experienced at least 7 new things either as food or drink made this a memorable day....made even more memorable as Panicos spoke to restaurant about my birthday :D I loved my birthday "cake."

It was a great day, seeing lots of Cyprus from the sea and opportunities to swim. The bar was very reasonable and lovely lunch.

Excellent day out; we enjoyed discovering about halloumi making, local winery (wine tasting), Cypriot honey. Had an excellent medze lunch (abundant amount of food) in the mountains; visited a beautiful local village. We fed donkeys and learnt (and tasted) about their milk. Highly recommend day to discover Cyprus and small artisans.

The tour was definitely overpriced. At 48.00 per person with no entry fees to pay and no lunch provided, 96.00 is simply outrageous. Additionally the guide "suggested" we leave a tip - on top of €96.00? Don't think so! Personally, we would not recommend. Had written a similar review on their own website which seems to have disappeared. Draw your own conclusions

The guide was excellent, the tour was very authentic, and the food and wine were excellent. Highly recommended! Be sure to pay attention if choosing a tour from Limassol or Ayia Napa...

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!

It was fantastic, I had a great time, learned many interesting things about Cyprus, ate a lot of delicious Cypriot specialties, and our guide was wonderful. I highly recommend it; a wonderfully spent time.

The guide was not interested and lazy to tell us a lot about the villages and the island generally. She was bored. We sit in the car driving 20 minutes without speaking to us. In Lefkara the nice village she give us just 20 minutes to explore but for the halloumi breakfast we were sitting 1 hour. It was terrible organisation. We spend 110,- each person for this. And it don't worth it. No motivation into explainings to the group. Terrible. I didn't feel comfortable

The tour guide Helena made the trip for us. Helena had a great style and her delivery of the facts and points of interest during the tour was faultless. The small numbers made it feel relaxed and more personalised.

This was an excellent and informative experience and a "must" for visitors who want to have an insight into traditional Cypriot life. We had an extremely knowledgable and informative guide, who had clearly taken the time to become an expert in her field. There were just 6 of us on the tour and we visited a wide variety of fascinating stops giving a full day which was interesting, informative and extremely enjoyable. The meze lunch was delicious and plentiful. A must for visitors who want to have an experience beyond the "sea and sun" and get a tast of traditional Cyprus. Highly recommended and can I thank Louisa for her pre-tour help, this is clearly a company who care about their customers and believe in giving them the best possible experience. The highlight of my trip.

Our guide, Helena, couldn’t have been more friendly and informative and organised. I hadn’t expected to be educated and shown the culture of Cyprus aswell as all the food and wine tasting. Topped off with a visit to the Golden Donkeys . Who knew you could do so much with donkey milk? I highly recommend this trip to anyone visiting Cyprus.

Wow what can we say about our day. We were picked up from our house in Paralimini and driven to Troodos for our wine tasting day. Our first winery was very quaint and our host was a true gentleman. Lots of lovely wines were tasted. We were then taken to our second winery which was a complete contrast to the first. Absolutely stunning vineyard, views were amazing and our host was lively and very knowledgeable. The wine selection was excellent. We were then taken to Omodos Village for our lunch. Amazing restaurant - food was fantastic and the village was really quaint with some lovely shops etc. Our last winery had opened in 2018 and again our host was perfect. Lovely wines and nibbles. A brilliant full day out. Our driver Evie was brilliant - really chatty and friendly and we had a perfect day in Cyprus wine tasting. Would definitely recommend and would definitely use this company again. Thank you to all of you for a perfect day.

The tour was nice and the locations we visited were so beautiful but unfortunately our guide, Helena, was very rude. She would continuously cut off our conversations with the other groups who joined our trip, she would make fun of our questions and respond sarcastically, and even was judgmental towards us. At one point she was actually ignoring us while explaining things during the tour. She was rushing us all the time and didn’t even allow us time to take picture. Honestly, she completely beat the purpose of us enjoying the tour and would not recommend joining her.

Panikos was a very friendly and knowledgeable local Cypriot guide, who made everyone feel welcome. The tour had a good amount of variety, with multiple sights and tasting several different foods. The small group nature of the tour made the experience more personal and we got to know each other well. If you would like to spend a day exploring new places and trying local food, wine and delicacies with a local and in a small and intimate setting then we would wholeheartedly suggest this tour! Thank you Panikos!

Firstly I would not have been able to do this / cover this ground alone - this is as authentic an experience as it gets. The team are wonderful especially Evie who was patient with my car rental return issues and Theodora. The pace of the tour was excellent and although there was a lot of food and many stops it wasn’t overwhelming. It was a highly informative tour and I got many insights into Cypriot culture and life.
