Didn’t like the dozen or so pick ups on the way. Didn’t like the food and the wine needed to be drunk in a hurry but not by me. Spent too long wandering around aimlessly Guide very informative. Entertainment was good. On the whole it was good but wouldn’t do it again

Loved the adorable Donkeys, food was good and the guide on the bus was really informative. Loved the farm owner Stella, she was so passionate about her work. The entertainment was really great and got everyone involved. Only downside was the wine seemed watered down. Would recommend this trip.

Excellent experience, highly recommend it. From donkey rides to seeing how halloumi is made. Fresh just cooked halloumi is awesome nothing compared to what we buy The men dancers were very good, had us all up dancing a great fun evening. Reasonably priced too. Opportunity to obviously buy anything made from donkey milk. Not to our taste, liqueur nice like Bailey's with an aftertaste of coconut. Thought a bit on the expensive side for 200ml. Do keys only give just over half a pint of milk a day.

Was looking forward to some traditional music and dancing but after only three performances by just two men, we were subjected to a YMCA dance and a Whitney Houston song with couples dancing.

This excursion was absolutely incredible, my first time in Cyprus and I wanted to experience the filter and that’s what I got, watching bread and cheese making, tour of the donkey farm, feeding the donkeys getting to learn about their use and try different products made with the milk. Then a lovely meal in the courtyard finished with traditional dancing to watch and then join in with. TUI please get better leg room coaches as it was so cramped my knees are very bruised

The whole experience was wonderful!! The donkey sanctuary and getting to feed and interact with the donkeys was lovely then the traditional Cyprus evening that followed was excellent. Great, delicious food and superb entertainment! Only criticism, get better coaches with better air conditioning as tye travel to and from the venue was a bit uncomfortable.

The experience itself was really good. We fed and rode the donkeys which I didn't expect to happen. Learnt how they made halloumi and a delicious olive bread and then enjoyed a feast and dancing. The only thing that could have been clearer was the meeting point. We were on the opposite side of the rode and a bus stop number would have been helpful to have to alleviate concerns of whether we were in the right place for pickup.

Nothing about the experience other than the transport there which was an old bus with no air conditioning which made the journey there very uncomfortable however we did really enjoy the evening.

The food was great and so was the entertainment. On the booking info it doesn’t give you any info about the location so we had no idea it was on a donkey sanctuary! That was an added bonus, we did think we were on the wrong coach when the itinerary was explained. Didn’t get to do any halloumi or bread making which was offered on the booking as the staff were trying to involve the children more. We did think it was a cooking/baking class as well. Think the wording needs changing on the booking.

Good interesting tour but coach ride too long. 2 hours to get there...1.5 return. Had to get coach at 3pm so had to get off beach at 2pm. Ridiculous!

Was a fantastic trip all round, bus picked us up right outside the hotel. The guide explained exactly what was going to be happening while we were there. Once there the guy that actually owned the farm showed us around. The food and wine were fantastic. The Cypriot dancers were brilliant, very friendly and getting everyone involved showing us the dances. Very relaxed atmosphere from start to finish and a real good laugh trying to learn the dances.
