We were a group of 7 attending this activity . The weather on the day was really sunny with no wind making the experience excellent. The trip, the transfer and overall experience was pretty good . We enjoyed the day visiting the abandoned village and the volcano. Highly recommended this trip and is a must when visiting Kos

It's worth it! Great mix of volcano and village visit. We found the time allocation perfect and entertaining. We had booked the English tour and luckily we were able to spontaneously switch to the German group on site. Our tour guide Kiki was enthusiastic and great!

Well organized, nice people. Great food with a mega beach atmosphere. Swimming in 2 different bays and jumping into the sea was also great. We can only recommend!!!! Super easy booking.

Very friendly tour guide. Everything totally easy and understandable. Strict time table but well organized. We're happy we participated!

Smooth trip and beautiful village and gorgeous volcano!
