    Comfortable trip, well informed guide

    We were picked up outside our hotel in a very comfortable air conditioned coach. Our guide Yannis and driver Chris were great and very knowledgeable. The trip was excellent and allowed plenty of time for a long lunch and to do some shopping, and enjoy the marina too. On our return, we saw Kolossi castle and had a stop at Aphrodites Birth Place, which made a lovely end to a perfect day.

    Check your pickup location with the operatir

    Pickup point deferent to the one stated on the ticket - the guide Yanis rang me to ask where we were!! We should have been picked up from St George’s hotel & Spa - we weren’t notified that we should be picked up from The Fat Fig - we would have been annoyed if we had missed the coach. All was good in the end as Yanis was a very good guide & explained everything in full detail to all on the coach - he is very knowledgeable of this lovely island Limassol has changed a lot in the years that we have been coming We had a lovely meal for lunch in a place called Coffee Gallery in Limassol we would recommend it - they looked after us as it was very hot and put us near a fan 👏 The food was brilliant & beer really cold 🍺😋

    Informative and fun!

    Excellent. Our tour guide was well informed and explained many things about Cyprus and the places we visited. We chose to join his 50 minute guided tour through town which was also informative. I wish we would’ve had more free time to walk around which we would have had if we hadn’t joined his city tour. I definitely recommend this trip. Good value!

    Response from the operator: Thank you for your excellent review and recommendation! We’re delighted to hear you enjoyed the tour and found our guide informative and knowledgeable about Cyprus and the sites visited. We’re also happy you enjoyed the optional guided walk through the town. We understand your comment regarding free time, and it’s great to hear you still found the experience good value overall. We truly appreciate your feedback and hope to welcome you again on another Cyprus adventure soon!

    Disappointed by this excursion

    Disappointed by the speed in Limassol, Initially it is announced 4 am in the old town but we stay there only 3 hours. Guide who keeps arguing with the driver, between 2 explanations very loud.

    Explore Limassol: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paphos.

    How much does Explore Limassol cost?

    +

    Prices start at $34 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 Explore Limassol take?

    +

    Plan for about 8 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 Explore Limassol worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 63 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.6/5 across 8 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Paphos, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Explore Limassol?

    +

    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 Explore Limassol suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book Explore Limassol?

    +

    Around 3 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Explore Limassol 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.

    What is included in Explore Limassol?

    +

    Included: In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does Explore Limassol include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 33 listed pickup locations in and around Paphos. Be ready about 30 minutes before the start time.

    What languages is Explore Limassol offered in?

    +

    It runs in English. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for Explore Limassol?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    Is Explore Limassol wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +

    The operator notes: Wheelchair accessible; Infants and small children can ride in a pram or stroller; and Infants are required to sit on an adult’s lap. If accessibility is critical, contact the operator after booking to confirm arrangements for your date.

    What happens to Explore Limassol if the weather is bad?

    +

    This experience depends on good weather. If it is canceled because of poor weather, you are offered a different date or a full refund.

    What do travelers say about Explore Limassol?

    +

    Across 8 reviews averaging 4.6 out of 5, recurring themes include the guide, knowledge and storytelling, food and drink. Travelers single out the guide as the reason the experience works.
