Troodos Mountain - This was a great tour. A suggestion might be to include how winding the roafs are. We went as a group of 9, several of our group got car sick, and they never get car sick. In addition, we were picked up at our hotel by a van, and dropped off road side to wait for another van. This was not explained to us in advance, and we asked the driver of the first van to wait with us. He would not wait. This was very unsettling being in a foreign country. Other than these two incidents, the tour was great.

Our thoughts - We booked this trip through TUI as it was promoted by them. As we were staying in Paphos we wanted to see more of the island.
The destinations in the Troodos were varied and the lunch was excellent.
However, whoever is promoting the trip should make everyone aware that the majority of the time is spent on the minibus (very good driver) and whilst many of the views of the mountains are wonderful, the route is very twisty and mountainous. Whoever is promoting the trip should also make people aware that those who suffer from travel sickness may want to consider whether it is for them.
