Top Kos Cultural Tours

George and his company did a FANTASTIC job showing our party of 6x the entire island of Rhodes, and even added stops that were not on our original itinerary. The airport transports were also as smooth as possible. Can't recommend them enough, friendly, responsive to all queries and very fairly priced.

Great day out for a family with 3 stops at amazing locations, not often you get to see a volcano and snorkel on the same day!

Worth your time and money. Fascinating exposure to Hippocrates, the beautiful ruins of the first hospital Asclepeion, the ancient ruins of the Castle of Antimachia and really informative olive tasting and wine tasting experiences. All of this in 4 very full hours of enjoyment with our guide Vangelis.

It was a very nice and informative tour.

If you're considering visiting Nisyros, do it. It was easily one of the highlights of our holiday.Most people visit for the volcano, and rightly so. Standing inside Stefanos Crater is an incredible experience. The sulphur smell is only really noticeable once you reach the crater itself, not throughout the island as some visitors expect. It's definitely there, but nowhere near as overwhelming as many people imagine.What surprised us more was the heat. Standing inside the crater, you can actually feel warmth through the soles of your shoes. The yellow staining across the crater floor is sulphur deposited by escaping volcanic gases, a constant reminder that this volcano is still very much alive.One piece of advice: don't touch the steam vents. We watched another visitor reach towards one, seemingly forgetting that the steam is being heated by volcanic activity beneath the surface. The warning signs are there for a reason. The information boards also explain that if Nisyros erupts again, it is more likely to be through a gas or steam explosion than a dramatic lava flow, which makes standing in the crater feel even more surreal.Beyond the volcano, however, the true heart of Nisyros is its people.The villages are absolutely beautiful. Narrow stone alleyways weave between traditional houses, hidden archways open into tiny courtyards, and every corner seems to reveal another view of the sea, the castle above, or a beautifully maintained home filled with flowers and character. Unlike some Greek islands that can feel overly commercialised, Nisyros feels authentic, lived-in and loved.What stood out most was the pride the local people have in their island. Everyone we met was kind, welcoming and genuinely passionate about sharing their home. Whether explaining the volcano, recommending local dishes, sharing island history or helping visitors find their way, there was a warmth and authenticity that made us feel genuinely welcome.The food was another highlight.Make sure you try: • The cinnamon syrup. • The almond syrup. • The tomato jam, which sounds unusual but is absolutely delicious. • The local cheese starters and traditional island dishes.A special mention goes to Koukouzina, which we would highly recommend. The food was fantastic, but more importantly it embodied everything we loved about Nisyros: traditional flavours, genuine hospitality and a sense of local pride that you simply cannot manufacture.Don't be afraid to ask questions. Some of our favourite moments came from chatting with local people whose knowledge, pride and passion for their island turned a simple visit into something far more memorable than we expected.One mystery we still haven't solved is the cave on the road up to the volcano. It's signposted, appears on maps and seems to extend underground. If anyone knows its history or has found any information about it, we'd love to learn more.Nisyros isn't the place to visit if you're looking for nightlife and crowds. It's a place for people who appreciate history, geology, traditional culture, beautiful villages and genuine human kindness.We arrived expecting a volcano. We left talking about the people.

We had a great time, food was fantastic, dancing was enjoyable, very family frienly environment with amazing sunset views. Highly reccomend.

Amazing tour, our guide Yannis was so kind and knowledgeable! Really enjoyed the sights and learning more about Kos. We saw places we never would have found on our own. One of the highlights of our trip!

Great all round experience , pick up driver really friendly and informative , great views of the sunset , lovely food and plenty of wine

No frills trip. Boat journey, bus to crater and return trip. A German tourist guide who was nothing to do with the paid for journey gave us some brief commentary in English which was a bonus. Well worth the trip with no problems encountered.

Nice drivers who gave it that little extra. Always on time.

The resort is beautiful and very clean. Concerns would be quickly helped. The staff was very friendly.An unpleasant situation we had one evening at food. Unfortunately, we sat there for half an hour eating and nobody asked us about the drinks. We watched it and also saw the so-called restaurant bosses talking to each other but not checking on the guests. After we had eaten, my friend approached the above group of people and thanked them for the non-existent beverage service.The food was really very delicious and always alternately rich 😊. Antony one of the head waiters took very touching care of us and our well-being.

An very goof experience which included some fantastic views over both sides of the island. A very comfortsble ride with a good driver, Nic, and guide.

Many different areas of the island seen, nice German speaking guide, delicious food, what more could you want

At first I thought this was a little expensive at €85pp with Tui, however, it is quite good value for money. The guide was knowledgeable and fun and you get earpieces to wear throughout the day so you don't miss anything. You don't get a lot of free time, at any of the places (around 30mins) so if you really want to explore Kos town for yourself, best to go on a different tour. The lunch was basic but plentiful with lovely views from Zia. All in all I would recommend this tour. As a side note, I have a few issues sometimes with mobility but this did not hamper me on this tour, as the walks weren't too long or arduous.

Beautiful experience. Unforgettable day. Well organized excursion so you can enjoy every site. Nice pirate ship.

Kos reached probably it's peak during the Roman and Hellinistic Period, and became a center of shops and commerce and a great port. Some fabulous villas with mosaics floors is a nice discover in the ancient Agora; If you visit the nice mountain Dikaios, ca. (847 m) , and the charming village Zia is very close to the mountain; a very romantic village with small narrow streets, many little shops, or visit the Monastery of Spondi; the panoramic views of the whole of Kos or also see the wonderful sunset from Zia, will be a super experience.
