The island tour was really nice to see first hand how diverse Kos is and learning more about the history and the people was very interesting. We spotted wild turtles, a goat carcass, so many chickens.. the kids on this trip were so excited! One of the guides was a bit condescending, which took away from fully enjoying the day, but overall it was a good day trip I can recommend.

Unfortunately the description of Get tour guide is no longer correct. No stop at a taverna to have a coffee and no stop at the peacock park. Nevertheless, we had a fantastic day with a guide who can tell you a lot about the island. Been to places you wouldn't go otherwise.

Super. This tour was really great. The drivers are absolutely great. I felt safe the whole tour for a long time. The program well organized. You can see everything that you can't see on normal tours. The food was great. Greek specialties only. Everyone should book this tour. Thank you
