The boat trip disappointing, the beach destination wasn’t a particularly attractive beach.

The staff were extremely knowledgeable and the Asklepion was interesting. I think we could have spent a little less time at the aloe vera farm and hilltop village and more time at the beach. I suggest that you bring snacks as it was about 2.30 by the time we had lunch and it was an early start so I was really hungry! The BBQ was tasty and it was great they accommodated for me being vegetarian. Bring snorkels and sea shoes for the beach, there's lots of fish to see!

Enjoyed the trip around Kos. Asklipieio was fascinating and a great history lesson. The boat trip to remote beach was also great. I would recommend anyone who is on this trip and wants to swim in the sea to wear swim shoes as the beach is pebbled and is difficult to walk on in bear feet Special praise needs to go to the crew of the boat as they went above and beyond. My son left his cap at the previous venue in Kefalos and they arranged for it to be waiting for us at the harbour on our return.

The wait before we got into the Asclepion was a bit long as we had to wait for another bus to arrive and the walk after the tour felt a bit rushed. The guiding throughout the day was excellent and we learned a lot about Kos. The boat tour and BBQ on the beach was great. The staff took great care about special dietary requirements. Overall we had a wonderful day.

The tour was very interesting and the guide, Ana, was informative. We enjoyed the boat trip but was a little disappointed by the beach stop. The beach was very pebbly and difficult to walk on. However the bbq was lovely.

Very enjoyable trip apart from driving for an hour collecting from other hotels, then driving for a further 30mins (?) to Asclepius. That aside once started very good, knowledgeable tour guide. The food was nice and plentiful although not so good if you’re vegetarian and the time to swim was more than long enough.

This was a good , first, excursion on the island. A quick trip to the Asklepion, heaps of great ruins there and all the history with Hippocrates. Then on to a windmill in Kefalos, great views and the place itself is very interesting, we also tried some of the local cinnamon based non-alcoholic drink, which was nice. Then on to a boat trip around the island little to such a lovely little bay for a Greek lunch and a swim - the sea is like a swimming pool it is so clear and was 23 degrees too!

Our guide was very knowledgeable and amazingly multilingual. He even made sure my wife had a salad without cucumber ready for her when we arrived for lunch (due to her allergy). The boat staff were friendly and made sure we all had fun aboard. I would highly recommend the trip. My only comment is that the gift shop wasn’t open at the windmill, so we couldn’t buy a souvenir.
