What an amazing evening!
We got picked up from our hotel at 5pm by our lovely driver George. He was very friendly and made us feel comfortable. He spoke about the different parts of the island as we were driving through which made it interesting to learn about.
Once we arrived we had a look around the quirky little shops and bought some souvenirs. We went for dinner and drinks at Oromedon and sat up on the second floor. The sun set at around half past 7 and we had the most perfect view. This was a highlight of our holiday. Would HIGHLY reccomend for a beautiful evening. George came and picked us up around 8pm and took us back to our hotel. All in all 10/10 experience!!

Lovely evening trip to Zia - well organised, lovely please to wander around. Loads of choices of places to eat.

Beautiful views and lovely to see another part of Kos. If you are travelling in October make sure to wrap up warm because it’s cold up there! We found that we had finished looking around and still had an hour to spare waiting for the bus but really pleased we did the trip.

A must to go see when in Kos . Would have loved to go earlier and enjoy some food and wine . Gets pretty busy so maybe off peak would be best time to visit

Sunset amazing beautiful area good choice of restaurants. Driver was hard to find and spoke little english

Very nice relaxing evening, after all the whole purpose is to watch the sun go down. The view over the sea changes in colour and there are plenty of places to view it from. We had no problem getting a table about half an hour before sundown and enjoyed a beautiful cheese in pastry dish in Olympia 2. If you fancy a drink on a balcony over the valley try the Water Mill which is up hill towards the church

Start with bit disappointment - we book with the company because they offer pick up from hotel . But day before we receive text with pick up point what is something new . One of us is disabled and walking is difficult.
On the way have some places with very bumpy road ( very very bumpy) I think driver find funny but wasn’t funny when you have spine problems.
Same was on the way back but we was prepared and on our feet .
The sunset was beautiful and all you needed is around.
We won’t book again regarding bad experiences with travel

Ensure you get to the collection place in good time as the tour operator arrived 10 minutes early. Lovely air conditioned coach and plenty of time to look at the shops, have a meal and enjoy the sunset.
Judith_R, Aug 2025
Lovely evening out and 3.5 hours in Zia just right amount of time to wander round shops and get a meal. Lots of places to eat but some with best sunset views get booked up
Rebekah_S, Aug 2025
We went the very last moment of the season, bring something warm it gets very cold. Food and atmosphere was great and great to see the shops and sunset!

Poor. Ticket stated 5.30pm pick up, all the previous tours we've booked once you select your hotel it calculates your pick up time for checkout. Messaged me whilst I was out, no attempt to call or see we had been made aware, saying pickup at 16.40. called at 16.30 and told to be in reception immediately. Impossible with children and oaps. I said we would cancel for a refund, to which they agreed. They have sent back 30 euro out of 100. What are we paying you 70 euro for? It's a rip off, a private taxi to zia is 70 euro return for the same amount of people, or 12 euro per person (6 euro for kids) from ANY of the local tour operators. Don't waste your money on these con artists and pop into one of the local tour providers and get it for nearly half price.

Pick up from outside hotel on time. Air conditioned bus. Took approx 30 mins to get to zia. Lovely village with so many shops and restaurants. Great view of sunset. We arrived at 5:30 and got picked up at 9
Wade_P, May 2025
Great experience zia is beautiful enjoyed my trip sunset was amazing nice shops bars and restaurants to have a nice meal and then watch the sunset the driver was friendly turned up on time and great communication with agent.
Scott_B, May 2025
Great trip, driver was fab, place was beautiful, couldn't find fault with anything and the driver even pointed out other places to go while he was driving.
Jenny_C, May 2025
I originally booked for Monday but this was cancelled due "to bad weather " (the weather was absolutely lovely) so I suspect it was for administrative reasons, a bit frustrating, but I was offered Wednesday instead which fortunately worked fine for me. I received a WhatsApp message with instructions for my pick up which was perfect. Everything was on time and was well organised and the driver was very knowledgeable and friendly.

Beautiful sunset trip! Stunning little town in the hills!
Had the most amazing lamb and wine in one of the restaurants. Views were amazing
karen_r, Apr 2025
Lovely evening food was lovely and a nice walk round the markets of Zia a real treat to see the sunset
Mel_G, Oct 2024
Good, careful coach driver, very prompt but got there to see last 5 minutes of sunset, 3 & a half hours way too long, shops very samey, full of tourist tat apart from the odd one or 2. Ate in Avli taverna where food was awful, we ended up giving it to the cats! Beautiful streets with nice views had you gone earlier, 2 hours max would have been enough here. Overall disappointing.
Paul_W, Oct 2024
All good ,driver and pick up on time,my advice don't go in the first bar or restaurant shop around first
Rebecca_W, Oct 2024
Lovely place to visit, but claim your spot by the wall asap for the view as gets very busy at that point for viewing.
Restaurants busy too with best views.
Prompt on pick ups, would use again
Peter_R, Oct 2024
It's just transport to Zia but the VW mini bus picked us up on time outside the hotel. We were dropped off in Zia just past the viewing area which was ideal. The vehicle was air-conditioned and clean and the driver courteous, so what more could you want. The return journey was equally prompt and efficient. Communication via WhatsApp worked well.

Cute village,perfect sunset watching,nice food.
Very professional pick up and tour service.
Nice music at bus..
Robert_N, Oct 2024
Driver picked us up right outside hotel on time - the minibus was very hot & air con wasn’t working properly (that’s the only negative). After a few more pick ups we arrived at Zia. Driver told us what time he’d be back for us & we were then left to our own devices. The sunset was fabulous - we watched it from the viewing wall near the car park. If you want to watch it from a restaurant you’ll need to book in advance as they were all full. Zia itself is very pretty with lots of lovely craft & souvenir shops as well as some quirky bars. Our driver turned up on time & dropped us all back at various hotels. This trip was just transport there/back - no guide although in our opinion no more was needed really.
Helen_P, Sep 2024
The bus was late and drove straight past us at the stop.
There was no air conditioning on the bus
The driver spoke no English and didn’t tell us sunset time, where to go for the best photos etc
Nothing more than a taxi service there and back on a crowded, hot minivan

Trip itself was lovely but details were confusing. App lists experience as 6-10pm. Confirmation on the day then said 6-9pm. Further whatsapp that afternoon said pick up at 4:40pm and then return was confirmed at 8:45pm. Unnecessarily frustrating. Pick up and return was however prompt. Zia is gorgeous and our meal at Oromedon was delightful. 3hrs is more than enough as the village is small and the shops are all filled with standard tourist tat. Lovely ice cream shop next to Oromedon with wonderful staff and a roof top terrace. Well worth getting this return as Tui were charging 30e a head for what is just a return taxi.

Picked up on time by extremely friendly driver in an air conditioned coach. Journey to Zia up the mountain was smooth and we had complete trust in our driver! We had booked a table for 7.15pm at Magic Mountain and had an amazing view of the sunset. It was perfect. Just enough time for a drink and a wander round the shops in beautiful Zia before being picked up at 9 by the driver. I would recommend this tour, great value for money.

We spent an amazing evening in Zia, such a pretty little village. There were such pretty cobbled streets and lots of little local shops. We stopped for dinner whilst watching the sun go down. Highly recommend this evening.

My friend and I were staying in Psalidi and wanted to visit Zia to eat and experience the Sunset for her 50th Birthday. We enquired about the cost of a Taxi there and back but this would have cost us €90, so I found the tour online and it only cost around €36! We were collected at the designated spot on time, the bus was very comfortable and we arrived at Zia around 6pm. I had pre booked the Sunset Balcony Taverna for 7.20pm (would definitely recommend pre booking the restaurants as Zia gets very busy in the evening), so we had over an hour to explore the stunning village before arriving at the restaurant. The food was outstanding, the staff were superb and the Sunset was magnificent (photos don’t do it justice)!! We had to return to the coach at 9.10pm which was plenty of time, and arrived back at our hotel around 10pm.
I would highly recommend this tour and will definitely do it again next time I visit Kos.

Lovely village with great restaurants at reasonable prices. The sunset was spectacular and well worth the trip
Alex_T, Jun 2024
The sunset was nice however we were picked up two and a half hours before the start time and we had from 4 pm until 9 pm for what was supposed to be a two hours experience, not much to do there except sit in a bar with no air conditioning. If I knew it would be this long I wouldn’t have necessarily done it.
