The lady leading the tour...
The lady leading the tour was quite rude and uncomfortable, the food wasnt that good, the waitress in the restaurant they took us also wasnt very polite. Other than that the plan itself was nice and we got to see nice things.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review and for highlighting the positive aspects of the tour and the places you enjoyed visiting. However, we would like to clarify a few points. Based on the details mentioned in your review, it appears that some of your comments may relate to services provided by another company. Unfortunately, guests do not always indicate the date of their tour, which makes it difficult for us to determine with certainty which particular tour the review refers to. During our tour, we do not take guests to a restaurant. Free time is provided at Latchi Harbour, where each participant is free to choose where they would like to have lunch. Visiting a specific restaurant is not part of our tour programme, and therefore we cannot be responsible for the quality of the food or the behaviour of the staff at a restaurant chosen independently by the guests. Regarding the guide, we take your comments into consideration. At the same time, whether someone's communication comes across as polite or rude can be a matter of personal perception. In any case, we are pleased that you enjoyed the tour programme itself and were able to see some beautiful and interesting places. Thank you for sharing your experience.

We amended the tour and...
We amended the tour and the operator didn’t. When we received the picking up instructions I didn’t notice the date change until the morning. The operator wouldn’t accommodate us on the earlier date we had booked despite all records confirming the tour was for the earlier date. It was only when Viator got involved that they allowed us to join a half day tour of just the boat and transfer but wouldn’t offer this originally even though they had seats available. The boat trip itself was lovely and an easy transfer from bus to boat. However, as we hadn’t noticed the changed in date in pick up instructions (who would expect the date to change?) they won’t give us any refund even though we only got the half day tour but paid for the full day. Viator were Really good in helping us when the tour fell through but won’t refund us either. Very disappointed with the attitude and helpfulness.
Response from the operator: Thank you for your review. However, we would like to clarify that the situation you described is not entirely accurate. Our company did not confirm the change of your tour date (according to the platform’s rules, if a tour date change is not confirmed by the supplier, it is considered invalid). Viator did not inform you that your tour date had not been changed. We sent you three emails with the date indicated in your original booking, but you did not pay attention to this information. You also confirmed to us through your replies that you had understood everything and that the date and time of the excursion were clear to you. When you contacted us in the morning, immediately before the start of the excursion, we immediately informed you that there were no available places left on that tour. Despite this, we tried to resolve the situation and found places for you on another excursion with a transfer to the Blue Lagoon. You repeatedly told us that you wanted to visit the Blue Lagoon, and we did everything possible to give you this opportunity. Therefore, it was our willingness to help and accommodate you that allowed you to join an excursion and visit the Blue Lagoon. Viator did not help you resolve this situation — the problem was solved solely thanks to our goodwill and prompt action. Unfortunately, you are now trying to shift the consequences of your own failure to pay attention to the date information onto us and present the situation as if we were unwilling to help you. This is not the case. We did everything possible under the circumstances and believe that we fulfilled our obligations correctly. Therefore, we do not consider a refund of the tour price to be justified.

Great Boat Trip, Unfriendly Tour Operator
Note: Please note I deleted my previous review, and posted this one. I did this because I mentioned a competitor in the original review. When I used to have a product review channel I always compared alternatives to provide a reference point (as is good practice in reviews). However, the operator wasn't happy with this, and out of respect for the vendor I have redacted the name of the competing operator (given this is a dedicated page for this vendor and not a generic review channel). ---------- We booked this tour while staying in Paphos, and unfortunately it turned out to be a disappointment. Let me be absolutely clear, I completely understand the need for some rules. Asking people to return to the bus on time is perfectly reasonable, as it is unfair for everyone else to be kept waiting. Likewise, prohibiting food and drinks on the bus makes sense if the company wants to keep the coach clean for future customers. However, the atmosphere throughout the bus journey went far beyond simply enforcing sensible rules. From the moment we boarded, the tone felt hostile and overly authoritarian rather than welcoming. At one point, our guide spent around 30 minutes talking about the island and instructed everyone not to talk during that time so people could hear her. While I appreciate that guests should be respectful, the overall delivery felt more like a lecture than a holiday excursion. There were also signs stating that anyone who vomited on the bus would be fined €20. I understand that cleaning up such a mess is unpleasant, but vomiting is not something people choose to do. This policy also makes the tour feel particularly unfriendly towards families with young children. Anyone who has children knows that accidents can happen despite the best efforts of parents. If the company does not want to accommodate that possibility, it should make it clear before people book that this is not a family-friendly tour, rather than displaying signs that feel like threats. Also, note that sea sickness tables should not be given to children below a certain age without consulting a doctor. I can understand the difficulties that tour operators have, and so I didn't let all this bother me. However, things got considerably worse when we were reboarding the bus after the first stop. One of my children must have stepped in a small muddy puddle without me noticing. The driver immediately began complaining about mud on the bus. I apologised, asked my son to scrape his shoes, and personally checked that they were clean before boarding. There were no mud attached to bottom of the shoes (obviously it was dry, being 38 degrees, so moisture would quickly disappears in the heat), but I still asked my son to scrape on the asphalt (there was no mat) as I could see the bus driver wasn't happy and I wanted to peacefully resolve the situation. Even after doing this, the driver continued his tirade in Greek. Unfortunately for him, I also speak Greek, so I asked him, "What exactly would you like me to do now?" The bus driver started going on rant about how you would not bring in mud in your own house, etc... It was clear he had a negative disposition towards tourists, and he was looking for an escuse to have a tirade. And to address his metaphor about bringing mud in a house, houses typically have a mat so one can wipe their shoes on them before entering them. If you expect that people enter the bus like they enter a house, then put a mat outside and ask people to wipe their shoes on it. The whole situation was completely unnecessary, and the trip felt like it had an oppressive atmosphere - it felt you were walking on glass. What made this even more ironic was that the company's very first stop was in an area covered in fine dust and dirt that inevitably gets on everyone's shoes. If cleanliness is such a major concern, it seems an odd place to stop. To make matters worse, the bus itself discharged water near the front door whenever it stopped, creating puddles that passengers naturally had to walk through. For context, my wife and I have been on many organised tours around the world. We are respectful travellers, follow instructions, and have never had any issues with tour operators before. The disappointing part is that the boat trip itself was actually very enjoyable. The Blue Lagoon was beautiful, the children had a fantastic time swimming and jumping into the water, and that part of the day was exactly what we had hoped for. My impression is that the company has probably dealt with irresponsible or intoxicated tourists in the past and has responded by treating every customer as though they are a problem waiting to happen. Whether that's true or not, it isn't the experience I expect when paying for a holiday excursion. I cannot recommend this tour operator, particularly for families with children. For comparison, we also went on the [NAME REDUCTED AT THE REQUEST OF THE VENDOR], which had a genuinely friendly atmosphere, fantastic staff, and was much more enjoyable for both adults and children. Please note, I have written this review precisely and carefully (been an experienced youtube product reviewer). I am not saying there should be no rules. Encouraging people to be on time is reasonable, telling people not to drink and eat on the bus is reasonable. Telling people politely listen while important information is said, is reasonable. Recommending people to bring sea sickness tables is reasonable. Telling your customers, however, to be quiet like it is secondary school for most of the trip is ridiculous. Telling that you will fine them if they vomit is not reasonable. Expecting parents to supervise their children, perfectly reasonable. However, having a bus driver give a tirade because a parent hasn't seen and controlled every footstep their child has done is really bad. The hostile nature you have towards your customers isn't reasonable, the oppressive atmosphere on the tour is horrible. And finally, no madam, I don't care whether it's customary to leave a tip for the driver. On this occasion, I chose not to.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share your opinion. Unfortunately, your review has been posted under a pseudonym, which means we are unable to identify your booking. We do not know your name, booking reference, or the date of your excursion, so we cannot verify the circumstances you have described. On our tours, we always strive to create a comfortable environment for all guests. This is why certain rules are in place, and they apply equally to everyone. We firmly believe that respect should be mutual—not only from our staff towards our guests, but also from guests towards our staff and fellow passengers. Unfortunately, your review reflects only your personal perception of the events. At the same time, it does not take into account the experience of the other passengers on the coach. Parents are responsible for supervising their children, while other guests have the right to expect a clean, comfortable, and pleasant environment throughout the journey. Likewise, no one wishes to travel in a coach affected by unpleasant odours caused by someone being sick. Policies regarding such situations are not intended to threaten anyone but to ensure the comfort and well-being of the majority of our passengers. Our guides are required to provide important information about the excursion itinerary and safety procedures. Asking guests to remain quiet while this information is being delivered is standard practice and ensures that everyone can hear what is being said. We are sorry that you were left with a negative impression. However, over many years of operation we have welcomed thousands of satisfied guests who appreciate our well-organised tours, our commitment to maintaining order, and the professionalism of our team. We wish you all the best in your future travels.

From Shipwreck to Blue Lagoon — Iconic Full-Day Tour from Paphos: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Paphos.
How much does From Shipwreck to Blue Lagoon — Iconic Full-Day Tour from Paphos cost?
+
Prices start at $45 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 From Shipwreck to Blue Lagoon — Iconic Full-Day Tour from Paphos 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 From Shipwreck to Blue Lagoon — Iconic Full-Day Tour from Paphos worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 72 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.3/5 across 400 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 From Shipwreck to Blue Lagoon — Iconic Full-Day Tour 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 From Shipwreck to Blue Lagoon — Iconic Full-Day Tour from Paphos 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 From Shipwreck to Blue Lagoon — Iconic Full-Day Tour from Paphos?
+
Around 140 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 From Shipwreck to Blue Lagoon — Iconic Full-Day Tour 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.
