A fantastic day out in the mountains
Fantastic Landrover adventure into the heart of Cyprus. We loved every minute of this tour and really appreciated Michael's knowledge and experience behind the wheel. Forget the noisy and crowded tours, this is a well considered peek into the mountains and their culture. Little things such as a mid-morning coffee stop and swapping seats in the Landrover so every gets a view make this tour a cut above the rest. Highly recommended for anyone who wants experience the real Cyprus. From one Landrover driver to another, thank-you for a wonderful day!

Excellent, informative day trip
Incredibly interesting and enjoyable tour. Michaelas was an exceptional guide, very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about all aspects of his country. We were picked up at our hotel at 8.45 and dropped off again at 18.45. Never a dull moment, a long day but interspersed with regular breaks to stretch our legs. Excellent local stops for coffee and lunch. It’s his own business and he deserves to do very well.

Brilliant tour with excellent guide
This was an outstanding tour, I wanted to do it all again the next day! Michalas was awesome, knowledgeable, attentive and informative. The stops were wonderful and things I think I would not have seen with another tour, many of the places we went had no other tour groups there. This has been the highlight of my trip to Paphos

Highest peak with the warmest group
This tour has made my trip 1000%! There was culture, history, picturesque villages, breathtaking views of the mountains and valleys, many monastries and lunch at a beautiful spot.. I was notified the day before about pick up time and it was smooth sailing from there. Well organised, with lots of time in each place. Michalis was attentive, kind and nothing was too much trouble for him. If you love nature, you will not be disappointed. Thank you again Michalis for a wonderful experience :) Van

Why this scores 84
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Cyprus: Mt. Olympus, Troodos Mountains, Monasteries from Paphos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paphos.
How much does Cyprus: Mt. Olympus, Troodos Mountains, Monasteries from Paphos cost?
+
Prices start at $74 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Paphos usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Cyprus: Mt. Olympus, Troodos Mountains, Monasteries from Paphos take?
+
Plan for about 9 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Paphos is not rushed.
Is Cyprus: Mt. Olympus, Troodos Mountains, Monasteries from Paphos worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 84 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (5/5 across 86 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Paphos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Cyprus: Mt. Olympus, Troodos Mountains, Monasteries from Paphos?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Cyprus: Mt. Olympus, Troodos Mountains, Monasteries from Paphos suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 9-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Cyprus: Mt. Olympus, Troodos Mountains, Monasteries from Paphos?
+
Around 30 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Paphos can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Paphos and add a light layer if any part of the 9-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Cyprus: Mt. Olympus, Troodos Mountains, Monasteries from Paphos start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Paphos within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Paphos?
+
On Outty we rank every Paphos experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Blue Lagoon Cruise with Sightseeing from Latchi Harbour, Troodos Mountains Villages: All Inclusive Food & Wine Day Tour, Wave Dancer Half Day BBQ Cruise - All Inclusive. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Paphos?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Paphos?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
