We did three tours with Savvas in Cyprus. Savvas did a great job. He is extremely knowledgeable on an array of subjects; history, archaeology, foreign relations, culture, botany and others. Our tours were consistently engaging and interesting. The pace was good and Savvas provided many thoughtful extras to make our time with him special. I recommend Savvas highly.
Savvas is an excellent guide, friendly, patient, very knowledgable, great sense of humour, passionate, approachable and very easy to talk to. We felt very comfortable as though we were on tour with a friend. He answered all of our questions. The drive was very comfortable and safe. Savvas even highlighted features along the drive.
