Great wee day in Kos - Very impressed Collected at our hotel ina mini bus and dropped of at the pier. Took 25 minutes on the hydrofoil to get to Kos. We had about 6 hours to explore this beautiful place before returning home. Would definitely recommend

City of Kos - The city of Kos isn't very interesting. There is unnecessary to use the colorful tourist train 'cause just 2-3 places deserves to be watched/visited. The beach is good.

This is a great tour, but expensive... - <p>This is a great tour, but expensive one as some friends book similar tour with much cheaper prize from bodrum port travel agent. As this is an independent tour, the driver just took us to the port, in the border between bodrum and greece and we should explore ourselves. But all the important tourism attractions are closed by the greece port and easily reached in walking distance, eg, the castle, hippocratoes tree, the cathedral etc. Make sure, we know where will be going, as I passed the hippocrates tree many times, but did not notice any board explaining this tree. I found the tree after the third/fourth times passing. Local people are helpful to show the direction. We dont need any tour guide to explore the attractions! Overall, it is an easy booking!</p>

Of course there is no tour per se, since you are on your own but the small difference in what you pay for this tour and doing it totally by yourself i.e., with no pick up and drop off is well worth it.</p>

Bodrum to Kos day trip. - The trip itself was great, we enjoyed Kos Town, however, organisation at both Bodrum and Kos ports in respect of immigration was incredibly chaotic both ways, there was a totally unmanaged crowd of people not knowing where to line up or which direction to go in, we would have made a second trip during our two week stay in Bodrum, however, the chaos at both ports put us off!

Tourist trap!! - The transfer itself was nice and worth the price! But arriving at the port you must cross the vendor with the fake stuff, those people will try everything to literally pull you in their shops and sell you cheap replica for ridiculous price. Also the real points of interest I.e the under water museum and the castle are both under renovation until 2020..so unless buying cheap fake things for extravagant tourist price is on the menu..there is really no reason for the effort.

Terrible - We were meant to be picked up from our hotel, day before we were told to make our own way to the port, I asked for directions and was given directions to the nearest cab rank. 1 hour wait at customs x 4 in the searing heat. No explanation from the tour company, 8 hour trip was down to 4 hours after the customs. Terrible service all round
