Booked the tour here. I was picked up at the hotel on time, the drivers speak perfect German. The tour, the views, the explanations - everything was so perfect. I can only recommend it 100%. You can see so many beautiful things about Kos, and there are also great historical explanations. This was followed by lunch, which consisted of several dishes. Everyone was very friendly and accommodating. I can only recommend it with all my heart!!!

Steve is a skilful driver and a very entertaining guide. He had tons of cool stories to tell about the places we visited. The tour took us to some unique and beautiful spots that we certainly wouldn‘t have seen otherwise. The car was spotless and very comfortable. Unlike on other (boat) tours we took, the lunch at a tavern was delicious! We had a fun day and can highly recommend the experience. Thanks again Steve!

Eileen was a super safe driver, super sweet and nice and very attentive! She knew a lot about the island and gave good tips for further excursions on your own. She could speak fluent German. The food and taverna were great too! Thank you for the day!

Thanks to our driver Steve who made us discover unusual places. We loved this tour in the mountains. Very nice meal with the other participants from the other vehicles. We saw turtles, visited churches and villages. I recommend it !

Absolutely worthwhile off-road tour through the Dikeos. Our guide Efrosini was great, there was great information and beautiful places to see! Highly Recommended!
