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
Response from Host, Aug 2026
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! 🗺️
Although I have always enjoyed past Viator tours this was a disappointment We went to the meeting place and there was no one there to provide my tour details and audio set. We gave up after wandering around for 30 mins and asking others for direction. I used my credit + cash for the tour. Very unfortunate
I would appreciate my money credited.
Response from Host, May 2026
It seems that you are very confused. Please read the title of the activity-tour, it is SELF-GUIDED with an app, this is written to 5 different points of the description and Know before you go Section.
We done this with friends and we all decided that there would have been bits of Kos town we would have missed! Definitely a must and good value fun too.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you so much Debbie! 😊 Discovering parts of Kos town you would have missed otherwise with friends — that's exactly the magic we want to create! Great value fun is always the goal. We hope to welcome you and your friends on another adventure in a different city soon! 🗺️
The app was a little clunky to use, that is to set up and also when reading the clue and entering the answer. The clues were super simple and geared towards young children. My eight year old got them without trying. I would have liked harder clues and the hints for those who could not solve them. That said it did provide a nice walking tour with great information about the sights.
Response from Host, Nov 2024
Thank you so much!
Seemed a great idea but some of the places were all fenced off and had items removed so impossible to “spot the difference”
Directions were clear and easy to follow but
Photos of clues weren’t very clear - eg “flags” on castle were stone pictures that couldn’t be clearly seen. Gave up in the end
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you for your honest feedback and we're sorry some of the locations in Kos were fenced off or had items removed — this is genuinely useful information that we will investigate and act on immediately. Outdoor locations can change over time and we rely on feedback like yours to keep our content accurate and up to date. We will review the specific stops you mention, particularly the castle flags clue, and update the photos and descriptions to make them clearer and more achievable. We're glad the directions were clear and easy to follow — that's a great foundation to build on. We hope you'll give us another chance in a different city with fully updated content! 🗺️
It was a really funny way to discovered th city of Kos. I recommend you to do the tour in the evening because it’s around 2 hours and I cannot imagine doing this in the heat.
Response from Host, Sep 2026
😊 Thank you so much for your lovely review! We’re glad you enjoyed this fun way of discovering Kos Town. And thank you for the helpful tip about doing the tour in the evening, especially for a route that takes around two hours. We hope to welcome you on another city adventure soon! 🗺️
We really enjoyed this tour as it allowed us to see more of Kos town that we other wise may have missed. I would definitely suggest doing this in the morning or later afternoon to avoid the heat whilst walking.

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.

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! 🗺️
In the walk through the center of Kos were 10 assignments. Nice way to discover center of Kos.
2 assignments could not be done because they were renovating and the part of the question was not available

😊 Bedankt voor jullie review! Fijn om te horen dat jullie de wandeling met 10 opdrachten een leuke manier vonden om het centrum van Kos te ontdekken. Jammer dat twee opdrachten niet konden worden uitgevoerd door renovatiewerkzaamheden. Gelukkig zijn onze puzzels gebaseerd op de buitenkant van de locaties, zodat je normaal gesproken niet naar binnen hoeft. We nemen jullie ervaring graag mee! 🗺️
Erg leuk om zo de stad te verkennen! De raadsels zijn niet te moeilijk en de wandeling is leuk. Je ziet de belangrijkste bezienswaardigheden en je krijgt zo veel informatie.

We hopen jullie snel weer op een nieuw avontuur te mogen verwelkomen! 🗺️
