Great!
Was really nice day and fitted in a lot. Guide was great! Very knowledgeable Did feel some of the visits were about buying stuff from gift shop etc as the main purpose but didn’t feel overly pressured. No hosting milking but did cuddle baby goats which was lovely. Transport was great

A fun day trip
Really good tour! Maria our guide made the experience very enjoyable - she was fun and informative. Would recommend for halloumi fans and those wanting to experience a day outside of a city.
Response from the operator: Thank you for the great review! We're so glad you enjoyed getting out of the city and experiencing a different side of Cyprus (with plenty of halloumi along the way! 😊). Thank you for your lovely words about Maria and for recommending the tour!

Halloumi Heaven (Larnaca Region) tour - great experience
Went on the Halloumi Heaven (Larnaca Region) tour with this company. From the early stages of booking, I felt completely at ease in communicating with them via WhatsApp. They were very attentive, courteous and accommodating when we needed to change the pick-up location and adding another member. On the morning of the tour, the lovely Helena picked us up and was our guide for the day. She was really nice, kind and informative all throughout the day and we were very comfortable with her. Loula and her family, which were our first stop, were really gracious hosts even without speaking English and we had incredible time learning how to make Halloumi with them. After spending some time with them and their flock of sheep and goats we headed to several other places like a beekeeping site, a donkey farm, and a small village. We also enjoyed tasting olives and olive oils. All in all, it was a great experience for all of us (even for the six year old girl in our group) and will highly recommend it!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this wonderful review! We're really glad you felt well looked after from the booking process right through to the tour itself, and that the whole group, including your little one, enjoyed the different experiences throughout the day. Thank you for your lovely words about Helena, Loulla and her family, and for recommending our Halloumi Heaven tour! 😊

Brilliant day out with Taste of Cyprus
An excellent well organised trip that was not only great fun but also informative. Punctual pick ups, very safe drivers and our guide Theodora was a local and experienced in providing everything we needed for the trip. We had a great time making the halloumi, a delicious brunch with coffee and lemonade and cold bottled water was available during the trip. We enjoyed tasting local honey, olive oils and donkey milk products! Spectacular views of the mountains and the day finished with feeding donkeys at the donkey farm. Thanks to Theodora and our other driver for a memorable day- well done worth booking!
Response from the operator: Thank you so much for this awesome review! We're so glad you enjoyed your day with us and your time with Theodora. Thank you for the 5 stars and for recommending our tour. We really appreciate your support!

Memorable experience
We had an absolutely amazing day with Cyprus Taste Tours. Our guide, Maria, was great – incredibly knowledgeable about both Cypriot food and the country's landscape, while also being super friendly and easy to chat to throughout the day. As it was just me and my partner on the tour, it felt really personal, almost like having our own private tour. The halloumi-making experience with Loula was a real highlight. She allows you to get involved in the process (we were arms deep in halloumi) and treated us to a generous lunch filled with delicious traditional Cypriot dishes. The rest of the day was spent exploring beautiful villages and meeting some fun characters along the way. It was such a memorable experience and a wonderful way to discover the authentic side of Cyprus. I couldn't recommend this tour highly enough.
Response from the operator: Thank you for taking the time to share such a wonderful review. We are delighted to hear that you enjoyed such a personal and authentic experience exploring Cyprus. We're pleased that the halloumi-making experience and visits to our local villages made such a lasting impression. Thank you for your kind words about Maria and for recommending the tour so highly. We hope to welcome you back to Cyprus again in the future.

Troodos Mountains Halloumi Making: All Inclusive Workshop & Tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Larnaca.
How much does Troodos Mountains Halloumi Making: All Inclusive Workshop & Tour cost?
+
Prices start at $135 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 Troodos Mountains Halloumi Making: All Inclusive Workshop & Tour take?
+
Plan for about 7.5 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 Troodos Mountains Halloumi Making: All Inclusive Workshop & Tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 85 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 71 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 Troodos Mountains Halloumi Making: All Inclusive Workshop & Tour?
+
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 Troodos Mountains Halloumi Making: All Inclusive Workshop & Tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 7.5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Troodos Mountains Halloumi Making: All Inclusive Workshop & Tour?
+
Around 25 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 7.5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Troodos Mountains Halloumi Making: All Inclusive Workshop & Tour 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 Troodos Mountains Halloumi Making: All Inclusive Workshop & Tour?
