My partner and I did the ‘Halloumi heaven: cheese making class and & Troodos mountain villages” tour which was hosted by Aikaterini & Theodora who were absolutely amazing. We started off the tour by visiting the monastery of st Thekla the healer which was a gorgeous monastery, lots of beautiful plants and flowers. We headed from the monastery to the halloumi making place, got to see the process of making halloumi and anari Cheese from start to finish while also helping out, sadly there was less cheese eating than expected but got to taste the halloumi we made which was delicious. We also saw the farm and fed the goats that are used to produce the milk for the cheese. We then made our way to pano Lefkara which is a small/medium sized village located within the mountains, the views were absolutely stunning and we visited a local embroidery and silver store where we learnt about the history of embroidery and silver within Cyprus. After the village we stopped at a Bee farm which produces local honey, very educational and amazing tasting honey! Finally we stopped at Golden donkeys, we got to feed and pet a variety of animals such as baby goats, donkeys and chickens. Personally I’d say the welfare is lacking a little bit but that is out of the tour guides control. Staff at the Donkey farm were very informative and provided a range of samples containing products produced at the farm. Overall it was an amazing tour and would highly recommend to others, hopefully when we are next in Cyprus we can find another tour with Cyprus Taste Tours as the guides were very helpful and provided a lot of information on the local areas.

My first time in Cyprus and just a day after i arrived in Larnaca. Tour was perfect introduction of Cypriot Gastronomy. Evie (Tour Guode and Safe Driver) took us around the area. Tour was fulfilling not just for the amount of information they provide but also the amount of food we have tasted and eaten. I would greatly recommend this tour for all foodie lovers to experience the food beyond we eat in restaurants. We manage to see a lot of things plus tasted everything 1.) Halloumi- we saw how a goat/sheeps milk turn into an everyday cheese (though i prefer the Anaki which is a byproduct of halloumi making process ; 2.)Wine- visited one nice vineyard and dranks 7 different wines from white, red and sweet wine.; 3) Honey Making- though we didnt go to actual Bee Farm which i believe is dangerous, too much information was given on how honeys are produced also great info about bees in general. 4.) Olive Farm- tasted all derivatives from olives and tried different oil from different age trees ( for me all same) 5.) Visited Leftaka which is lovely small town and a break from all the food we took especially after a lovely lunch 6.) Visited Donkey farm- feed them and new experience for me to try is Donkey Milk Ice Cream.

For years, my spouse and I have been wandering after the pursuit of eating and drinking with various different tours or by ourselves. We know that eating, the food we consume, and the culture of dining are crucial parts of a culture, and we believe that one of the most enjoyable ways to get to know a culture is by experiencing its local flavors and connecting with those who create them. This particular tour was very special to me as it reminded me of my Cypriot heritage inherited from my mother, with all its intricate details. Both our informative and open hearted guide, Helen, and the well-arranged program deserve a solid five out of five stars. The historical background of Cyprus and all the places we visited took me back to my childhood when I used to visit Cyprus every summer to see my grandmother Neriman and grandfather Ali Aylakçı. Throughout these experiences, I remembered my mother ,who passed away 2,5 years ago, at every step. It was a tour worth every penny. Engaging in wonderful conversations with the other participants added an extra layer of enjoyment to this tour. If you have even the slightest interest in Cyprus, I highly recommend taking this tour. Don't miss out. Thank you.

The whole tour was very nicely organized. Andrea was very young, cheerful, educated and happy. That's already a plus ! The minivan was equipped with air-condition and frozen water. The tour consisted of visiting villages, wine tasting, breakfast and cooking class (+ picking our own vegetables). The slightly minor disappointing part was going for the wine tasting. We tasted 8 different types of wine at 10 in the morning, before breakfast! Before even taking a coffee. However, the village of Omodos is so beautiful ! Very charming. The breakfast was a traditional Cypriot. Yummy. The cooking class was less interactive than we usually used to. But it was fine, we still got to slice some vegetables and pick out a mint leaf. The final result was delicious: Moussaka + Buklava. Thank you for such a nice experience.

What a wonderful day we spent with Anna! She picked us up at our doorstep and we spent the day traveling into the mountains of Cyprus. She provided a running commentary on the history of the island and of the vineyards. We stopped at two vineyards before lunch, and were treated to excellent tastings and tours of the wineries. She then took us to a local restaurant in a beautiful little village, where we were treated to one of the best meals we have had on the island! After lunch, we made a final stop at one more small vineyard , that was the highlight of the day for us! We highly recommend this tour for wine lovers!

I had a fantastic time on my tour on July 14th! Our guide and she was knowledgeable and friendly! She absolutely made the experience amazing! The tour is honestly one of the best way to experience the sites and sounds of Cyprus along with the tastes! We visited 3 wineries and in all had four different tastings. The wine was amazing and well presented at each stop. The winery locations were gorgeous. The lunch was the best meal I had in Cyprus by far and one of the best meal experiences I have has in all my travels. This tour is worth every penny and then some. This is the one tour you must take when visiting Cyprus!

10/10 would recommend! This tour was so much fun and a great way to get to know Cypriot culture. The three wineries we visited all had great wines and great backstories which made the tour even more special. The Meze we had was also amazing and we have never eaten this much in our lifes! Also a big shoutout to our tour guide, Demi, who is an exceptionally good guide and was very knowledgeable about everything we got to know in the trip. Do yourself a favour and book this tour, it’s a beautiful experience overall and you will not regret it.

Our tour was arranged and carried out with the utmost professionalism throughout. I highly recommend Cyprus Taste Tours. Everything from booking through to the thoroughly enjoyable 9 hour tour, in a small group of 5 people, was excellent. Panico, our driver, guide, raconteur, local expert, host and friend for the day, clearly enjoyed introducing us to his country and all it has to offer spanning foods, wines and artisan businesses in the beautiful villages of the mountains. A true taste of Cyprus.

We sure had a superb day. Everything ran so smoothly, from the booking right until the end of the tour communications. Very well organized and managed. Anna our friendly guide is really remarkable. Cyprus Taste Tours added their special touch making a birthday extra special. All round, lots of fun, great wine tastings, great wineries all sharing their specialty, the delish food and great memories. I sure would recommend this tour to anyone for any occasion. Thank you Cyprus Taste Tours.

I did two tours with Cyprus Taste Tours and both were brilliant. I did the Beyond The Grape wine tour which was delightful in the Troodos mountains with lovely wines, and I enjoyed visiting Omodos Village. Secondly I did the Off The Eaten Path tour in Larnaca, which let us try food I wasn’t aware of, and was a really nice experience. Both guides - Andrea and Emilia were excellent. The company itself - particularly Louisa could not have been more helpful or accommodating. Thank you!! :)

We did the taste tour with Panicos in Nov 2023 and it was amazing. Panicos was a great guide, who was very knowledgeable, and went above and beyond on the tour. The stops we made were great, and we had enough time at each location to explore. The food, drink and hospitality at each location was fantastic. We'll definitely do another tour when we are back in Cyprus and would recommend Cyprus Taste Tours to anyone.

Awesome tour, thank you Helena! Great experience :) had a lot of fun with you. I did the food tour. Helena was knowledgeable and fun. She knows how to entertain the group. Food and wine were so good, and such a variety!!! I did another tour with a different company and this one was so much better! Highly recommend! Loved the day! We were also given a list of recommended restaurants, which was awesome!

What a lovely experience! had really a great time! Helena was our tour guide and she really nailed it with a the informations! She took her time to tell us every detail possible and i really learned a lot! Its truly a must if you have a day off and want to experience something nice with cool people! Thank you for making my days in Cyprus worth!

A excellent experience to have a taste of the wine history in Cyprus. We visited three (3) wineries in total, in each winery we have the opportunity to try different wines and also talk woth the host. Also we went to a local tavern to have a delicious Lunch with different local dishes. Definitively a must do experience if you visit Cyprus.

Excellent day out into the mountains. The guide was knowledgeable, and attentive to each of the guests. Wonderful to visit family run vineyards and hear from the actual owners! Loads of tastings and a lovely time spent in a beautiful cafe in the middle of a stone village. So very glad I joined this tour!

This is one of the best tours ever, it was 8 hrs of food and some wine, I went with my 4 y/o who enjoyed the sights, sounds, and beautiful village landscape. If you travel to Cyprus you have to book with this company, hands down very knowledgeable, amazing food, sweet people, and an overall great time.

Can only highly recommend this tour The guide dimi and the wineries we visited was all very good. I went as a solo traveler but was a part of fantastic group where all of us really had a good time and enoyed the Wineries and village tour in the mountains.

Panico was an amazing tour guide! We thoroughly enjoyed the enthusiasm and information he brought to the group. I highly recommend booking a tour with this company if you are in town and looking for something to do! Ask for Panico!

It was an excellent trip with Helena. The selection of wines was great. Never been on a wine tasting tour and been offered such variety. The lunch was really lovely! Time well spent with wine. I highly recommend it!

Wonderful tour day. Elerin is a lovely guide who knows so much of the history and special information of Cyprus. We enjoyed this day with delices lunch. One of the best tours I participated so far
