It was a very nice and informative tour.
The resort is beautiful and very clean. Concerns would be quickly helped. The staff was very friendly. An unpleasant situation we had one evening at food. Unfortunately, we sat there for half an hour eating and nobody asked us about the drinks. We watched it and also saw the so-called restaurant bosses talking to each other but not checking on the guests. After we had eaten, my friend approached the above group of people and thanked them for the non-existent beverage service. The food was really very delicious and always alternately rich 😊. Antony one of the head waiters took very touching care of us and our well-being.
Super organization, a very competent, friendly and perfect guide (Jordes), much seen, historical background of the island learn

Very good guide, with a lot of knowledge about the island. He was also so very well informed and gave many tips.
In total we had booked 3 tours, but we liked the Kos tour the best. But also the drive to Nissyros ( Nissyros Exclusive ) was great. At the "Blue Journey " we had some bad luck because we had to deal with quite a wind force, but the bathing stops were still nice because in quiet coves. And we also liked the shore walk with lunch. All in all, we can definitely recommend these tours.
