We enjoyed exploring Kos by 4 wheel drive in the company of our guide Nicholas. We were part of a convoy of 4 cars, but this did not take away from the personal attention and care we received from Nick. The views on offer were sensational and our little village stop in Zia, with lunch, was most enjoyable.

Great trip around Kos to see parts of the island off the usual roads. Be sure to wear sensible shoes and sunscreen in summer as you will be in the sun occasionally.

Our driver, Steve, was excellent. He was a good and safe driver and explained what we were seeing. The tour was mostly driving to overlooks to see amazing sights. The worst part was the car, which was a Toyota Land Cruiser. It was extremely uncomfortable for the adults in both the middle and rear seats. There was no leg room and the people in the back had to intertwine their legs sideways since they could not bend their knees sufficiently. There were 5 cars in our group. We first drove to a remote beach and had to wait over 40 minutes for the other 4 cars to pick up passengers and meet us. There had to be a better way to organize this tour! For these 2 reasons I would not recommend this tour.

Dear Susan,
Thank you for your valuable feedback and for sharing your experience with us. We always strive to offer unique customer service, and we regret that our tour did not meet your expectations.
However, we are a bit confused by your comments. In the customer satisfaction survey you completed after the tour, you mentioned that the tour did not include visits to ancient fortresses, monasteries, or the city of Kos. Now, in your review, you mention that the tour was disorganized and the vehicles were terrible.
To clarify, our safari tour description does not mention visits to ancient fortresses, castles, or free time in Kos for shopping. You booked a group tour, which involves multiple vehicles operating in a convoy, visiting the mountain areas of Kos and Zia village, with several photo stops at panoramic viewpoints.
It seems there may have been some confusion about the tour you booked, as the itinerary and inclusions are clearly outlined in the description. On the day of your tour, we had five vehicles operating with a total of 30 guests, and none of the other participants raised concerns or shared negative feedback.
Regarding the vehicles, we use the well-known Toyota Land Cruiser 7-seaters, which are standard for safari tours worldwide. This is also clearly stated in the tour description.
We encourage you to carefully review tour details before booking in the future to avoid any misunderstandings. We are sorry that this experience didn’t meet your expectations, but your review does not reflect the itinerary or the feedback you provided in your survey.
Thank you again for your feedback.

An excellent trip covering parts of the island that coaches can't get to. Our driver Steve was very knowledgeable, funny and a very good host.
Response from Host, Oct 2024
Dear Tim, thank you for your positive review and feedback provided. We are very happy that Steve made your day memorable and with a great service. We look forward to see you again back in one of our trips in Greece!

My guide Steve was very rude and not communicating with us properly. He would not answer my questions saying he has a way to explain and he has to say things in a specific order during his visit. He barely explained during the whole day and kept giving us free time at each stop. I think he is not a certified guide but more of a driver .
Response from Host, Jul 2024
Dear Lallia,
Thank you for sharing your opinion with us. We value all feedback as it helps us improve our services.
Steve has been with our company for four years, and we have consistently received positive feedback about his professionalism and demeanor. During your group participation tour, which included five other guests, their feedback rated Steve’s service as excellent, as well as the overall tour experience.
We strive to provide a cohesive and informative storytelling experience on all our tours, delivering specific information as we pass each point of interest. We understand that preferences vary, and while our approach satisfies most of our clients, we respect that it may not suit everyone's taste.
Regarding the tour stops, we always allocate time for guests to relax, enjoy the surroundings, take photos, or smoke if they wish. If this structure did not meet your expectations, we recommend considering our private tours for future bookings. These can be tailored to your specific preferences and needs.
We appreciate you choosing one of our top-rated tours in Kos, and we hope to welcome you back in the future. As a gesture of goodwill, we would like to offer you a discounted price on your next tour to demonstrate our high level of service.
Thank you once again, and please feel free to reach out if you need any further assistance.
