Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.

We hired two mountain for ten days.
They were delivered on time and we were given a map and details of local points of interest. Alistair was very friendly and helpful.
After the ten days, the bikes were collected and deposit returned.
Would definitely hire again from Helen and Alistair, and would definitely recommend.

Helen and Al were great. They organised a last minute road bike hire for me, collection and delivery included along with the relevant equipment, tools etc… Al gave me a couple of routes to explore around the area too which were fantastic. Wouldn’t hesitate to use again or recommend.

I have used the services of wheelies a few times now. Helen and Alastair provide a very slick service and do everything they can to ensure you have a positive biking experience. The bike was well maintained and functioned perfectly. Pick up and drop off was to and from my accommodation so couldn’t be more convenient. Will certainly use their services again,

Brilliant friendly customer service, excellent bikes in good condition with lots of kit to make life easier exploring the area. Good maps were a bonus and the tips for routes.

Helen and Alistair provide a fantastic bike hire service. Delivery to your door at arrival and collection at departure was really helpful. The bikes were great! They provided everything you need including helmets, spare tubes, tube changing, multi tool, water bottles, pumps (just bring your own bike shoes). Only challenge was making payment. Card payments would make it much easier for customers. Thankyou for helping to make our holiday so memorable!

We did the self guided walking holiday for 7 days and it exceeded our expectations. Helen and Alistair could not have been more helpful, the communication was excellent, the instructions and GPS ensured we stuck to the trails and transfers between hotels worked out perfectly. We were in contact with Helen and Alistair every day via WhatsApp and they provided additional information on best places to visit and to eat at.
The walks were varied in length and effort, and covered the best of the mountain areas and the coast line. April was a good month to visit, the weather was good for walking, not too hot and the landscape was lush green and there were so many beautiful flowers on all the routes.
The hotels were very good, all well positioned for the walking and clean and comfortable. Our favourite was the Paradisos Hills hotel in Lysos, the surroundings were peaceful and the views of the hills and the sea were stunning and the owners were welcoming and really friendly.
I would thorough recommend doing this tour. We usually plot our own routes in the UK but being abroad we wanted to know we had support along the way in case of any issues (there weren't any!) and also the benefit of local knowledge. We had an amazing holiday, massive thanks to Helen and Alistair for making sure it went without a hitch!

Despite being in Dec the weather was pretty good and I was able to get lots of epic views, from mountains to coast. Al and Helen were great hosts, they arranged a reallynwell organised, personalised walk and mtb trip for me.
Loved staying in local family run hotels. Had lots of great food and got to see the real cyprus, rather than the sand and sea. I really liked the small rural villages and the great variety of scenery.

This holiday takes you off the beaten track in to some remote areas and villages above and around Polis. You'll see many for the abandoned villages and learn the history of the area. The hotels we stayed at had fantastic views for relaxing at the end of the day and enjoying breakfast in the morning. The holiday supports local run establishments -it was great to hear the history behind them. The owners of Wheelie Cyprus, Helen and Al, have thought of everything -with GPS provided allowing you to explore with confidence. The bikes were excellently maintained and Helen and Al gave us helpful tips on where to eat etc.
All in all, a great warm escape from the UK as it turns colder!

Thanks so much for taking the time to leave us a wonderful review. It was a pleasure to meet you both and share our passion for cycling around the scenic trails in the Polis area with you. As usual in November, the sun gods shone brightly on you enhancing the riding enjoyment. Thanks for booking with us and we hope to see you again if you decide to return to sunny Cyprus.

We enjoyed the trip very much. Cyprus was a wonderful surprise as we have never been there before. The trip was organized very well, the bikes were very good, the routes were beautiful and allowed for a choice between alternatives, the hotels were good.
Helen and Al were very helpful and accessible.

Hi there, considering a Cyprus cycling adventure but with a focus on exploring rather than just pure cycling, so wanted to check what the total distance was for your self-guided itinerary, and approximate daily amount. Thank you!

Polis175 contributions
Hi, the daily maximum distance on our self-guided cycling itinerary is 30km. We give harder (longer) and easier (shorter/flatter) as options. You very much "explore" hidden valleys/tracks and trails on our trip. If you cycle for 6 days (not taking a rest day) the total distance covered is around 150km. Take a look at the self-guided cycling itinerary on our website for more information
