I have no issue with Panicos as a person - he is quite pleasant but he was rather soft though and do not appear to have deep knowledge. We had to ask him questions. He is not a guide for such tours. He came in his hero which is rather dirty and smelly - not proper for such a tour. What I was most disappointed and dissatisfied with is that we were brought to a lifeless place. Tourists coming for the first time to a country should not be brought to a place with no life - everything close. I had to return the next day to see the shops. Panicos said good as no one around but this terrible. I felt so disappointed to come to a lifeless place. We should be advised to come another day when it’s open. We paid so much but get so little. It’s a rip off. A very very bad experience and impression given. Lifeless

Nick was excellent. His personal experiences growing up in Paphos added to the general information. Based on the recommendation of others we asked him to expand our walking tour of Old Paphos to include the Tombs of the Kings as well as the Dionysius mosaics. It turned out to be an excellent idea and highly recommended to others.Old Paphos Plus

Nick really gave a great tour. We had three hours walking with him and learned so much about Cyprus and Paphos
He is very open and easy to talk with, sharing his knowledge and perspectives in a light hearted manner.
If we had just walked ourselves we would have missed a lot.Great way to see Paphos

We had the pleasure of spending three hours being guided around beautiful Paphos with the most wonderful guide Nick. Lovely guide who provided the most delicious traditional Cypriot treats while taking us along a cultural and historical journey through old town. Highly recommend. 10/10

Panicos took us to several UNESCO churches. He had researched the route and made sure they would be opened up. He explained the buildings and frescoes well. He drove safely and was pleasant to be with. He had found good places to stop for refreshments. His English was good.An Amazing Experience

Nick, our guide, was very informative telling us about the mosaics found at the Harbor, and giving us an authentic, delicious meal at a very nice restaurant.
We were hoping to learn about other local restaurants that preepared other Greek food.

Nick is a nice guy, very knowledgable about the area we were visiting. We learmt a lot. We were two elderly couples and needed to get Nick to stop talking and walking, and stand still to talk to us (so we could all hear). But aide from that we all enjoyed the tour and the food. The final typically Cypriot restaurant was a delight.Food tour nov 24

Panikos was a great guide and we were very happy with the service: we have passed by many of the archeologically significant sites in Pafos harbour without realising just how great they are!Panikos Knows His Stuff!

wij hadden met een groep van 5 personen een geweldig tour met Panicos, als Nederlandse toch heerlijk om deze tour met veel informatie over het verleden van Cyprus in het nederlands aan te horen, Panicos is een echte Cyprioot en spreekt vloeiend Nederlands . Neem van te voren contact op met Panicos om een leuke trip voor te bereiden, alles is mogelijk. Cyprus heeft ons verrast en wij komen zeker terug , en zullen dan weer met Panicos afspreken . GEWELDIG

The tour was a present for our friend and took place exactly on his birthday. We were not disappointed. Even meeting Nick in Pafos was characterised by friendliness. We booked the tour in English, but Nick also speaks pretty good German and so it was a fun exchange between English and German.
We got to know many interesting (and not so well-known) places through Nick on the tour. After snacks and coffee, the culinary highlight took place in a traditional taverna with typical Cypriot delicacies.
We are happy to recommend the tour with Nick because he is a very experienced guide with a lot of knowledge about Cyprus.Great birthday tour

We toured the beautiful city of Pafos last Sunday with Konstantinos as our guide and we had an amazing time. We were shown around the city and visited the historical landmarks, all while learning about the conflict between the Greek and Turkish Cypriots. The group was extremely happy with the visit, as Konstantinos provided many valuable insights while also making sure to add personal stories to make the tour more personally relevant. A great time spent together, thank you so much :))))Extremely satisfied!!!
