We had a great time!
Myself and my wife enjoyed this experience. It took us to areas of Kos that we would never have thought to visit ourselves and it was lovely to see more of the city. As it was self guided and at our own leisure, we took the time to take in the sights around each point and had drinks in cafes that we would never had seen had we not taken up this experience. Thoroughly recommend it.
The only criticism I would have would be to include more tips or recommendations about the area you’re in. We enjoy sampling hidden gems, places where the main tours would never take you and that locals would go as they can easily be amongst some of the best authentic experiences. Other than this, we both enjoyed the experience and were happy we took a chance.
Operator response
😊 Thank you for such a thoughtful review! We’re delighted that the tour took you to parts of Kos you might otherwise have missed, and that you enjoyed exploring at your own pace, including discovering new cafés along the way. We also really appreciate your suggestion about adding local hidden gems and recommendations, and we’ll pass it on to our team. 🗺️

Waste of time and money!
I tried to use the app with my 5g but it kept failing. The only time I could operate it was when I had WiFi. Absolute waste of time and money!
Operator response
Thank you for your feedback, and we're sorry your connection kept failing in Kos, that's genuinely frustrating and not the experience we want. It should work on mobile data, but obviously you had some connection issues. If the app was the issue, it shouldn't work under wi-fi too.

Nice city walk with small puzzle tasks
Nice walk in Kos Town with small puzzle tasks. Unfortunately, it is sometimes difficult to use in the app without a good mobile network and enough data volume, because the pictures for the puzzles are not displayed or only with a delay.
Operator response
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback! 😊 Es freut uns, dass der Rundgang durch Kos-Stadt mit den Rätseln gefallen hat! Ihren Hinweis zum Laden der Bilder bei schwachem Netz nehmen wir ernst und geben ihn an unser Entwicklungsteam weiter, um die App auch bei geringerer Datenverbindung flüssiger zu machen. Wir hoffen, Sie bald in einer anderen Stadt begrüßen zu dürfen! 🗺️

Nice way to explore the city independently
Nice way to explore the city independently. We liked it a lot.
You get to know beautiful spots that you probably wouldn't have noticed otherwise. However, we had to walk some paths several times - which could also be due to Google Maps.
Operator response
Vielen Dank! 😊 Schöne Ecken von Kos kennenlernen, die man sonst nicht wahrgenommen hätte, genau das wollen wir bieten! Danke auch für den ehrlichen Hinweis zu den Wegen, wir schauen uns die Route gerne an, um sie noch flüssiger zu machen. Wir hoffen, Sie bald in einer anderen Stadt begrüßen zu dürfen! 🗺️

Disappointing - we quit!
Disappointing. The puzzles are really childish and way too easy. The sights are mainly limited to statues and other stuff. We cut the tour short because you just stayed in the same area. A restaurant owner already laughed at us when we walked by for the fourth time. Always just back and forth between the same streets. Not recommended.
Operator response
Vielen Dank für Ihr Feedback und es tut uns leid, dass die Erfahrung in Kos enttäuschend war. Das schildern Sie ist ungewöhnlich — unsere Route in Kos ist eigentlich durchgehend linear angelegt, ohne dass man dieselben Straßen mehrfach durchläuft. Es klingt, als wäre etwas nicht richtig angezeigt worden. Bitte kontaktieren Sie uns auf worldcitytrail.com/chat mit Ihrer Buchungsnummer — wir schauen uns das gerne an und finden eine faire Lösung für Sie. Auch Ihr Hinweis zum Schwierigkeitsgrad der Rätsel nehmen wir ernst. 🗺️

Highly recommend!
We really enjoyed this walking tour, Kos has lots of history, but not a huge amount of information plaques etc. about it and so this was super helpful. The challenges at each spot were cool as well
Operator response
Thank you so much! 😊 Filling in the history that Kos doesn't have on info plaques, with cool challenges at each spot along the way — that's exactly the value we want to offer! We hope to welcome you on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️
