Our tour with Andreas was the highlight of the holiday. Andreas crafted the tour around us to include everything from the well known Paphos attractions to stunning natural sites and the locals favourite hotspots. We swam in an empty Lara bay, strolled the Avakas Gorge, off-road safaried up the Akamas mountains and along the coast to Rastbank lookout, (where we had another dip on a hidden beach near the Blue Lagoon) and visited the stunning sea caves at golden hour. We ate at a fantastic restaurant in the mountains and drank traditional coffee with the locals. But it is Andreas that sets this tour apart from others. His knowledge of the Island and incredible insight into the ecology and environment around us was unparalleled. He is a natural storyteller and a character we'll never forget! Due to the COVID pandemic, EcoTours are only running private tours to protect customers and the local community. These bespoke, one-to-one tours are usually more expensive than the group tours but have been reduced in price. Other tour operators continued to run group tours with mask-wearing enforced but we respected EcoTours decision to put people over profit. We considered renting quad bikes but were so thankful we opted for the jeep tour in the end, as there is absolutely no way we could have seen all that we did or understood our surroundings to the same extent. We also saw the quads detrimental impact on the stunning surroundings. In short, the EcoTour is the best way to explore the island and we wish we had had time to do another before we left for home! Thank you so much Andreas for an unforgettable trip! - Jess & Joe…

Fantastic trip, couldn’t recommend highly enough. Saw parts of the country we would never have seen without EcoTour. Local coffee house, secluded beaches and traditional food were some of the highlights.

A great experience from start to finish. We were looking to explore the island away from the tourist hotspots by the beach and experience the more authentic side of things with a knowledgeable guide whilst making the day fun for the whole family. Andreas and EcoTour delivered exactly that. He was flexible ahead of us travelling out, providing a couple of suggested tours and then accommodating my wife’s desire to pick bespoke elements and create something just for us. Andreas is passionate about Cyprus, the history and the natural beauty the island has to offer if your willing to go exploring. He made it fun and engaging for both us but also our children (two girls 12 and 10). Forests, churches, a beach, winery, traditional cheese production and gorge. As well as a lovely spot for lunch. Of course you can find things out via google and even get around with a hire car but the experience will not be the same as you get to meet the business owners direct and he can also take you down some more remote tracks in his defender that you will never get to in a hire car. He even spent time after the tour giving us more suggestions of places to go to on our own. Thanks Andreas for a great day abs showing us a little piece of your island! Chris, Karin, Maya and Zara. …
