    A great Cypriot experience

    We were with a great driver, Ioanna Zintili, who was very nice, had a lot of patience with our children, very attentive to our needs. It was a great trip. We felt safe and helped by the agency. She helped us with every problem (a cramp in the leg, finding directions, finding a good place to eat, adjusting the program). We really recommend

    Response from the operator: Dear Cristiana, Thank you very much for your wonderful review and for taking the time to share your experience with us. We are delighted to hear that you had such an enjoyable trip and that Ioanna provided exceptional service. We are especially pleased that she make your experience a memorable one.

    This is a busy day, but...

    This is a busy day, but worth it if you are staying away from Paphos and wish to see the sights listed. Maria our driver was very friendly and knowledgeable.

    A wonderful experience!

    My daughter and I were visiting from the US and had prearranged several transfers with itaxi. The process was easy and the rates were very good. We were incredibly lucky to have Chryso as our driver and guide during our time in Cyprus. What began as a simple ride to visit a relative turned into something truly special. Chryso was meant to wait in the car for an hour, but my cousin insisted she come inside and join us—and within minutes, it felt like we had known her for years. She was warm, engaging, and gracious, and she even helped translate, making the visit so much richer and more comfortable for everyone. We had scheduled a full-day tour for the following day to see the Tomb of the Kings, the mosaics, and other historic sights, and we specifically requested Chryso again. We were thrilled when she arrived to pick us up. She is incredibly personable and upbeat, speaks excellent English, and has a deep knowledge of the history and stories behind every site we visited. On top of that, she is a confident and very skilled driver, which made the entire day feel relaxed and effortless. By the end of the tour, we were genuinely sad to say goodbye. Chryso didn’t just drive us from place to place—she made the experience memorable, personal, and joyful. We cannot recommend itaxi enough. They were on time, communicative and the cars we immaculate. We will now only use itaxi when we visit Cyprus.

    Cyprus - castles and pre-Christian archaeological sites

    It gives a good and fairly comprehensive overview of pre-Christian coastal Cyprus and gives a first time tourist a look at modern day Cyprus... in all educational and interesting. Commend Chryso our driver who was steady and reliable, and attentive to our needs.

    Full Day Tour in Paphos: Trip To The Past: questions travelers ask

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

    How much does Full Day Tour in Paphos: Trip To The Past cost?

    +

    Prices start at $457 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Larnaca usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does Full Day Tour in Paphos: Trip To The Past 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 Larnaca is not rushed.

    Is Full Day Tour in Paphos: Trip To The Past worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 77 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 55 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Larnaca, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule Full Day Tour in Paphos: Trip To The Past?

    +

    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 Full Day Tour in Paphos: Trip To The Past 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 Full Day Tour in Paphos: Trip To The Past?

    +

    Around 19 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 Larnaca 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 Larnaca and add a light layer if any part of the 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does Full Day Tour in Paphos: Trip To The Past 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 Larnaca 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 Larnaca?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Larnaca experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Troodos Mountains Villages: All Inclusive Food & Wine Day Tour, Cape Greco Blue Lagoon and Ayia Napa Tour, FAB Private Customized Tours Cyprus from Larnaca city. 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 Larnaca?

    +

    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 Larnaca?

    +

    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 Full Day Tour in Paphos: Trip To The Past?

    +

    Included: Private transportation; Pickup and Drop-off; and In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Entrance Fees; Meals / Beverages / Snacks; Gratuities; and Professional Tour Guide. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    +

    Is Full Day Tour in Paphos: Trip To The Past wheelchair or stroller accessible?

    +
