Lovely island - What a lovely day we had at the island of Nisyros. From pick up to drop off it was a fantastic day. Really well organised. Boat over to the island was great we stopped at the volcano for just over 30 minutes which was more than enough. Then we had a good few hours in the town we didn’t stay with the guide we just did are own thing. It’s a stunning place with fantastic views.

Volcanic island - It was lovely visiting Nisyros but a long time in Capital City, with not a lot to see, most people felt the same, but guide and organisation was faultless.

Brilliant - It's a long day day but very well organised and the guide (Martha) was very friendly and very knowledgeable. Just relax into it - you're on holiday - nowhere else to be and nobody to see.

Great day with Greek island highlights - A great mix of boat tour, sightseeing, typical Greek village with wonderful alleys and wonderful views from the monastery. Michael the guide has brought us closer to the Greeks and their history in his very humorous way. At the end of the trip to the crater was also very interesting.

Volcanic Island with Mandraki - Nice interesting tour. The island of Nisyros is definitely worth a visit. The main town Mandraki is Greece from the picture book.

Tour was disappointing - I did like seeing the caldera but I would have liked to have spent more time there, although advertised as a full day trip we were only given half an hour at the volcano and this included queuing for the toilets. The majority of the trip was dedicated to walking through the island, trying to sell stuff, bringing us to a specific taverna where they had an obvious partnership which could be better used to see the volcano instead. We ended up walking off on the tour and making our own way around which was much more enjoyable

Very bad experience !!! - We didn't go for the Full-Day Tour to Nisyros The Volcano Island because bus from Tour Operator Aegean Travel never arrived to pick up me and my partner from the Caravia Beach hotel on Kos Island on Monday 07/10/2024. I have tried to call to the Aegean Travel Office 13 times but nobody answered. Staff member from reception has tried to call to Aegean Travel as well. I have a notice on my confirmation letter that pickup point is Caravia Beach Hotel. I have checked my email box before my trip to Kos Island on Saturday 5/10/2024 and there wasn't any email from Viator or from Aegean Travel to me. I have arrived to hotel on Saturday at 23:50 and from this time I couldn't get access to internet and I couldn't check my email box. I haven't a Whatsup, and I haven't a WiFi in my old mobile phone. Me and my partner were waiting 2.5 hours for a bus from Aegean Travel on Monday but nobody arrived. I have asked for help another people from the hotel at evening and they have given access to internet to me. I have found an email in my email box with another Pick Up Point address near some Mythos Bar on the main road far away from Caravia Beach Hotel. I am an old woman with some problems with mobility and even I could see that email before my excursion I can get a lot of difficulties to get access to this new Pick Up point. Anyway I didn't know that my Pick Up point has been changed, because they have sent an email too late for me, when I didn't get access to internet. Me and my partner didn't go for excursion, wasted time when we were waiting for a bus near the hotel, and wasted money as well. I will never buy an excursion from Viator again, and I will not to recomend the Tour Operator Aegean Travel on Kos Island. We have had a very bad experience !!! Maria
