5A fun day trip
Really good tour! Maria our guide made the experience very enjoyable - she was fun and informative. Would recommend for halloumi fans and those wanting to experience a day outside of a city.
5Halloumi Heaven (Larnaca Region) tour - great experience
Went on the Halloumi Heaven (Larnaca Region) tour with this company. From the early stages of booking, I felt completely at ease in communicating with them via WhatsApp. They were very attentive, courteous and accommodating when we needed to change the pick-up location and adding another member. On the morning of the tour, the lovely Helena picked us up and was our guide for the day. She was really nice, kind and informative all throughout the day and we were very comfortable with her. Loula and her family, which were our first stop, were really gracious hosts even without speaking English and we had incredible time learning how to make Halloumi with them. After spending some time with them and their flock of sheep and goats we headed to several other places like a beekeeping site, a donkey farm, and a small village. We also enjoyed tasting olives and olive oils. All in all, it was a great experience for all of us (even for the six year old girl in our group) and will highly recommend it!
5Brilliant day out with Taste of Cyprus
An excellent well organised trip that was not only great fun but also informative. Punctual pick ups, very safe drivers and our guide Theodora was a local and experienced in providing everything we needed for the trip. We had a great time making the halloumi, a delicious brunch with coffee and lemonade and cold bottled water was available during the trip. We enjoyed tasting local honey, olive oils and donkey milk products! Spectacular views of the mountains and the day finished with feeding donkeys at the donkey farm. Thanks to Theodora and our other driver for a memorable day- well done worth booking!
5Memorable experience
We had an absolutely amazing day with Cyprus Taste Tours. Our guide, Maria, was great – incredibly knowledgeable about both Cypriot food and the country's landscape, while also being super friendly and easy to chat to throughout the day. As it was just me and my partner on the tour, it felt really personal, almost like having our own private tour. The halloumi-making experience with Loula was a real highlight. She allows you to get involved in the process (we were arms deep in halloumi) and treated us to a generous lunch filled with delicious traditional Cypriot dishes. The rest of the day was spent exploring beautiful villages and meeting some fun characters along the way. It was such a memorable experience and a wonderful way to discover the authentic side of Cyprus. I couldn't recommend this tour highly enough.
5Great Tour
It was a truly pleasant experience — probably the best tour I’ve taken in the past few years. Considering what you pay and what you get, it’s not expensive at all. We visited five perfectly chosen places, plus had lunch, and the time spent at each stop was very well planned — not too long, but just enough to explore and enjoy each location. The tour had a friendly, almost private atmosphere. There were only five tourists, including me. By the end of the day, I didn’t feel like a solo traveler in a group of strangers — it felt more like a trip with friends. None of the places we visited were crowded; on the contrary, it felt like a kind of VIP experience without lines or pressure. My sincere thanks and best regards to our guide, Panico. His deep knowledge of all aspects of Cyprus, along with his intelligence and dedication to his work, made this day perfect and unforgettable. I’m already looking forward to my next holiday in Cyprus so I can take another tour with this company.
5Panicos was amazing. Very...
Panicos was amazing. Very knowledgeable and friendly, and we had a great time on the tour. I would do it again.

About Larnaca
Larnaca is a laid-back seaside town on Cyprus's south coast, with a palm-lined promenade, a salt lake that fills with flamingos and ancient churches.
Larnaca grew on the site of ancient Kition, birthplace of the philosopher Zeno, founder of Stoicism, and its seafront promenade, Finikoudes, is lined with palms, cafés and a town beach. The Church of Saint Lazarus, with a carved and gilded iconostasis, stands over a tomb that tradition says holds the friend of Jesus raised from the dead. A medieval fort at the end of the promenade holds a small museum.
