1Trip Cancelled
Trip was cancelled but I wasn’t informed - when bus didn’t arrive I contacted local operator who said they had advised Viator the previous week that they weren’t running an English language tour and that Viator should have informed me. Instead they confirmed it two days beforehand and took the money from my credit card. I had to go through their online help centre to request a refund - it wasn’t done automatically. (This request was dealt with promptly). So my advice is check in advance that trip is running to give yourself time to make alternative arrangements. Be aware that having a confirmation email and number doesn’t guarantee departure. Rating given is for Viator.
5A wonderful tour around the island of Kos
We had a great day with our over 80 year old tourist guide, who had such a great knowledge of the island and greek culture in general.

About Kos
Kos is a Greek island in the Dodecanese close to the Turkish coast, with ancient ruins, sandy beaches and a knights' castle at the harbour.
Kos lies close to the Turkish coast, with Kos Town on its north shore, where a castle of the Knights of St John guards the harbour and palms line the waterfront. The town is also a living archaeological site, with Roman mosaics, the ancient agora and a restored Roman house. Hippocrates, the father of medicine, is said to have been born on the island, and a huge old plane tree in town is named after him.
