Good overall trip. Only improvement would be to advise people to take swim gear as we had an hour and a half at the beach

General drive off road was good. Walk up to gorge was difficult, ther wasn't a guide and time given was insufficient if your over 60 to get there and back. Need to be reasonably fit for the exercise without any physical limitations as very very uneven ground and steep in places. The driver was a little temperamental but chatty. an

Zeus our driver / guide was very knowledgeable and friendly. Good level of information provided without being overwhelming and plenty of opportunities to ask more if you wished. Very clear about safety during the walk and ensured party were ok. Seeing baby turtles helped to the sea was amazing.

Great trip! - lots of fun bouncing around in the back of a 4 X 4 Land Rover with Rick as our excellent guide a couple of weeks ago. Beautiful scenery and lovely walk with my daughter, up to the Gorge. Thank you! Best wishes, Rozz & Imogen Hancox, York

A great way of experiencing the wilder side of Corfu. It is a bouncy ride, but expertly driven by Rick who also provided interesting information about this area of Corfu.

Great tour guide, friendly, helpful and engaging. Trip involved walking on rubble paths around gorge. Would be helpful to advise customers of the amount of walking and to wear trainers or walking shoes. Lara Beach was beautiful. Great to learn about the turtles and stop at Lara Beach cafe. Could have spent more time there.

The akamas gorge tour was very good, but we only had 30mins to swim (including changing and drying and getting a drink). The disappointing part was the "learning about turtle conservation" part. We just parked up on the top of a cliff and looked at some A4 printed sheets, taped up around a hut. There was a bit of talk, but nothing that wasn't written. I felt that for the overall cost it just wasn't value for money. I paid less for a full day tour (not with Tui) and got more out of it.

I have visited Cyprus many times over the past 15 years but the value in this tour with a local guide and driver was exceptional as you I found out so many interesting facts about the island that I was not aware of

Rick was amazing!! He was so informative and kept the day very light hearted considering it was a very long day of activities. He was great and couldn't recommend him more. We ended up being in his 4x4 for another trip later in the week and we were delighted that it was him. He is so knowledgeable on everything to do with the trip and we enjoyed it so much. The only problem is that TUI advertise this as a half day trip, expect to be out a lot longer but it is well worth your extra time.

Great last minute experience booked through the TUI app. Our guide was great , picked us up on time from the hotel . Convenient , informative and fun ! Engaging enough not to be awkward with other guests whilst not too forced at the same time . Would recommend , the Avakas Gorge was incredible .

Tour guide rick/rich (can't remember exact name sorry!) was great. Very friendly, welcoming and funny. The jeep ride was extremely bumpy but we found it fun. The views of the gorge were gorgeous and we saw loads of frogs and goats :)

Great trip for our young family to see some more parts of Cyprus away from the busy resorts without tiring the kids out too much with a full day tour. It lasted about 4 and a half hours in total and as well as the beautiful Lara Beach stop, the walk through the gorge on a well trodden nature trail was the highlight for me to see a bit of the nature of the island.
