As an avid traveler and someone who lives in Cyprus, I’m always looking for new ways to experience the island from different perspectives. Most of the time, I love renting a car, hitting the open road, and letting myself get lost among picturesque villages, hidden beaches, and unexpected trails that turn into unforgettable moments. But sometimes, I prefer to let someone else lead the way – a local guide who knows Cyprus like the back of their hand and can reveal stories, places, and people I might have missed on my own.
If you’re traveling in a large group and looking for a well-organized and hassle-free experience, if driving on the opposite side of the road doesn’t appeal to you, or if you simply want to soak in the scenery without worrying about navigation – a guided tour by car, jeep, or even by boat might be the perfect way to discover the magic of Cyprus.
Private Tour with a Local Guide – Custom-Tailored for You
I highly recommend Roni Schwartz, a Cyprus resident who organizes private tours with a certified, professional, and very friendly guide. She will take you on an 8-9 hour tour in a comfortable vehicle, following a custom route designed by Roni. The itineraries are flexible and can also accommodate large groups.
Contact Roni for a guided tour in Cyprus
If you prefer to travel independently, Roni offers a personalized itinerary planning service (minimum 3 days).
