Akamas Gorge ain't for... - Akamas Gorge ain't for converses 🤣🤣 too slippy crossing the stones, also not for the faint hearted. But the views are amazing, apart from that the rest of the tour was amazing. The restaurant you are taken to has the best views for a meal and the food is good to. My high point was feeding the donkeys, even though I was a little nervous, the donkey were as gentle as anything.

Excellent day out - We had an absolutely fantastic day on our jeep safari from start to finish! The whole experience was seamless and full of adventure. Dimitri, our guide, really made the trip extra special – he was fun, friendly, and incredibly knowledgeable, sharing fascinating stories and local insights throughout the day. The route was stunning, with breathtaking scenery, hidden spots we’d never have found on our own, and plenty of chances to stop, explore, and take photos. The atmosphere was relaxed yet exciting, and we felt well looked after the entire time. Highly recommended – a perfect way to see Cyprus!

A top roller coaster ride - My wife Pauline and I Paul took this trip on 19th September. The gorge part was quite difficult. My wife Loved the donkeys. The wildest ride she said she had ever been on, but felt perfectly safe all the way through it. Diimitrios is 100% full on - so don’t have a hangover for this trip. Overall the day was a WOW and would thoroughly recommend to all- 10/10

Great trip! - We had a great day out with Dimitris seeing the amazing sights of paphos. If you’re looking for a guide with a good sense of humor and not afraid to speak his mind then definitely book this trip! I would definitely recommend wearing comfortable shoes or trainers for the walking parts of the tour and be prepared to spend lots of time in the jeep navigating very bumpy roads. Overall I would recommend this trip!

Great Day Out!! Dimitri Is One Of Kind!!! - Well… Where do I start!!! Firstly, I will say, me and my partner did actually have a great day on the jeep safari… Especially being squashed into the back of a jeep with 4 other adults!! We were collected on time by Dimitri with some people already in the Jeep. Once we had collected everyone we headed off on the ‘adventure of a lifetime’ with the 2000s hits playing of full blast and Dimitri giving us a great performance of lady gaga. First stop was the Edro 3 Shipwreck, Dimitri explained the plan for the day and what we could expect. He took orders for lunch and told us a little bit about himself. He made comments to certain individuals on our trip who thankfully knew how to take a joke! But he did warn us he would say what he wanted!! The journey through the mountains with 6 of us in the back (10 passengers, 6 in the back, 1 driver in total) was an experience I will never forget, one that left us a little battered and bruised… oh and aching!! Trip stops at Avakas Gorge. All I will say is it is a slight walk if not already aware with streams and rocks which may be tricky for people. You can wait in the car park if you do not wish to do the walk. Amazing views and something we had never experienced before. Lovely stop off at a quiet restaurant for lunch which was very delicious and then back in the jeep for some more off road driving to the donkey farm… basically just donkeys on a small field but they were cute! All in all a very good (and very bumpy) day out. I would recommend for anyone looking for a fun day out to some lovely beaches etc. Dimitri is not a historian, just a man who loves his country and loves to make people laugh. Even though he seems to do this trip everyday, he was full of energy (lots of it!!!) If you are looking for a historical trip, book elsewhere!! Even though we got back to our hotel bruised and bumped if we return to Paphos we would book with Dimitri again!!

Avoid at all costs. Not worth it. - I don't usually like to write 1 star reviews, but unfortunately in this case it is needed. Me and my partner were supposed to do this trip on Wednesday but we're called on Tuesday night to be told we had to be rescheduled due to issues with the car. Fair enough, these things happen. We rearranged for Saturday, which was the day we were leaving. As we were getting the last of our stuff together, we were called to say the cat was here. It was 15 minutes early! We rushed down and were greeted happily by the person doing the tour. We hopped into the back of the jeep. There were already four other people in the jeep. We stopped off to pick up another 3 people. It was a very tight squeeze to have 9 people in an 8 person jeep, you couldn't put on a seat belt if you wanted to because there wasn't enough and you were so crammed in! The guy then began to say how he was going to forget about the last guy and just tell him he forgot, which to me was very unprofessional! It had me thinking about how he rearranged with us and wondering if he really did have car troubles... We did end up going for the last person. 10 people crammed into an 8 person jeep was not a fun experience! I was constantly apologising to the lovely girls next to me for bumping into them. Throughout the entire trip, I did not feel safe in the jeep. For one, I was unable to wear my seatbelt, and our guide was also not wearing a seat belt. His music choice was... Questionable (but I admit that could be personal preference). Also he was constantly texting and driving, including on a busy road! I was genuinely terrified. Our first stop was the natural caves and shipwreck, in which he explained what we were going to be doing. We got the choice to order lunch at a restaurant. Myself and my partner chose not to as we had all inclusive at our hotel and did not feel like spending money. We got back into the jeep, once again cramped in the back, and went towards the turtle bay. It was literally a beach. It is not turtle season so there was nothing really to do. Some pretty sights of the sea and some interesting information on turtles but that's about it. We went to the gorge next. It was very interesting, but very slippery! The guide was quite knowledgeable on it which changed my mind for a brief moment about writing the review I am now. However that quickly changed again. Our next stop was the restaurant. It was a very long way away from the gorge and VERY off road. I get easily travel sick and the bouncing around of the jeep made me feel very unwell. Once again the music was not to my taste, but I noticed the videos of the music on his phone were scantily clad women which made me feel quite uncomfortable. When we arrived at the restaurant I was feeling quite unwell. Our tour guide asked if we were sure we didn't want food and my partner explained I was feeling travel sick. At this point he got quite rude! He snapped that it wasn't a mini bus, it was a jeep, and he couldn't take us to the places we went if it were a mini bus. I had to bite my tongue as I wanted to say that I would have been sick even if it was a mini bus! He also said that the others in front were very tall so couldn't be in the back. My partner and I at this point were looking at ways to get back to our hotel independently, however we were practically in the middle of nowhere and there where no buses or taxi's so we had to endure. The "donkey sanctuary" was literally just some donkeys in a pen in the middle of nowhere. Our guide literally got a metal pole out his jeep and threw it at the trees to knock down some plants! The fact he had a random mental pole in his jeep made me feel even more uncomfortable. The donkey's, while cute, looked very matted and like they needed a brush. Back into the cramped jeep to the baths of Aphrodite. The baths themselves were very lovely though we only stayed for 5 minutes. The guide also forgot to mention the important safety guidance that we cannot actually bathe in the water due to the toxicity of the pigeons, which my partner told the group. We returned to the hotel after the baths. I have never been more happy to see the hotel than I had at that moment. Overall would avoid this tour. The "guide" is crass, rude and has extremely weird and questionable music taste
