What to expect

With some of the highlights of Kos wrapped up in one day out, this adults-only tour showcases the variety of the island. Together with your guide you'll explore Kos town, the Asclepeion ancient site and the village of Zia. A visit to a wine factory and a viewpoint round off the day. Sophia, one of our expert local guides, says "the Asclepeion of Kos was dedicated to Asclepius, the Greek god of healing and medicine, and it was known as a healing sanctuary in ancient times. The peaceful surroundings and the extensive gardens were soothing for patients."Start off with a guided visit to Kos town and its eye-catching harbour with bobbing boats lined up. Next, step back in time at ancient Asclepeion, which remains one of Greece's most important archaeological sites. Here, you'll have free time to explore and imagine Hippocrates, who was born on the island of Kos, undergoing his medical education at the Asclepeion. Among the attractions are the remains of the world's first hospital, where doctors learned about medicine from Hippocrates, and studied how to treat disease. You'll also visit the mountain village of Zia, which sprawls beneath Mount Dikaios and is best known for traditional architecture and wonderful views of the coast. After lunch in a typical restaurant, it's on to taste local wine at a wine factory, and honey in a honey factory. Then, at the end of the excursion, you have the chance to capture amazing photos at Kefalos village at the south part of the island.

What a fantastic day! Prompt pick up from hotel & taken to Kos. Guide Manolis met us at Port. He was a great guide, knew so much & was funny with it. Made the day that much enjoyable. Walked around Kos town, visited the Asclepion & learnt lots about Hippocrates. Drove to Zia & had lunch at a restaurant with lovely views- food options to pick from. Went to vineyard for wine tasting & also visited a local honey producer before returning to hotel. No negatives at all

Our guide was exceptional his English perfect and sense of humour fantastic. The only down side was within an hour of arriving back at the hotel I felt unwell, with my stomach rolling. I then went on to have chronic diarrhoea. The only food and drink we had during the day was the included lunch in Zia.

Kos Town was lovely. Zia is pretty but very commercialised. Would prefer to see more of Kos rather than tourist shops. Wine tasting and honey tasting stops were not very interesting and just geared to selling produce. Countryside snd it's history getting to these places were far more interesting.

Great Kos tour. Our guide Manilos was both informative and great fun. Our visits to the various places were really enjoyable as we learnt much about the history and culture of the island. The lunch provided was freshly cooked and very tasty. Lots of choice too! Loved Zia - a most pretty place. Great trips to the vineyard and honey farm too. All in all a great day out and I would recommend it to anyone on a tui holiday.

The included lunch was first class and the time.of the lunch break was just right for a slow walk down to the pick up point. The vineyard and honey factory visit were again educational and fun. To sum well worth every penny and thanks for an enjoyable day

The exclusive trip in Corfu meant a small number on the trip so was expecting that rather than a full bus but didn’t spoil the trip. Would rather have done without the wine and honey visits and gone to another place of interest but understand these trips always go to these places. At least the artwork at the winery were interesting

Would be good to have a bit more time at all locations - especially the lunch at Zia so you could explore the shops more after eating. The tour is just a taster of the various places (hence it can feel a little rushed at times) but it’s still definitely worth doing to get a better feel for the island as a whole. Guide and staff were great and very knowledgeable. Better AC on the coach would be appreciated when it’s so hot though!

Overall it was a long day and not enough time spent at the different places we were taken to. It seemed that you were rushed. Would have enjoyed longer in Zia which was a mountain top village by the time you had your lunch you were left with about 15 minutes to look around which certainly wasn’t enough time. I think TUI need to look into the timings of this excursion overall approximately half hour in each place is not long enough.

The lunch in Zia was fabulous with the most amazing views and the wine tasting at Altima Akrani was really great, again lovely scenery, although would have preferred to have spent more time here or in Los town than driving a long way south for the very quick honey farm visit which I didn’t enjoy so much.

Enjoyable tour with immediate too long stop in Koz town. Informative guide and picturesque and enjoyable lunch stop with views. Visit to Vinyard was short and uninformative but wine tasting was excellent. Similarly, the honey manufacturing plant tour was a little more informative and the tasting worthwhile. There were obviously many areas of interest that could not be visited due to time constraints such as those of archaeological interest or beach views etc. All in all a sampling tour.

We had a lovely day and Marianna was a fantastic guide, both amusing and knowledgeable. Our only criticism is that parts of the day felt rushed. The wine tasting in particular was very rushed and the honey tasting was only about 5 minutes. However we thoroughly enjoyed the day and it was a great intro to the island. We have since returned to Kos Town to better explore some of Marianna's recommendations. Lunch stop was also v good value.

The guide - Mykonos was outstanding, he really made the experience engaging and enjoyable. He provided facts and told stories throughout, linking the sites to Greek mythology. The experience as a whole was worth it as we travelled across Kos which gave us a feel for the island. The ‘whispers’ were brilliant and added to the experience as we were able to hear the guide throughout. Definitely worth doing! My favourite experience this holiday! The transfer was late approx 30mins.

Enjoyed the tour around Kos Town, Asclepion and lunch in Zia. The wine tasting was OK, but felt the drive to Kefalos was unnecessary for simply a 2 minute stop for a photo. Time in the honey shop very limited and rushed. Surely there is a honey shop nearer to Kos Town / Zia end of the island and the trip could have been made shorter and slightly cheaper?

This was an enjoyable day out and we got to see lots of different parts of the island. Our guide was very informative and we learnt a lot about the history of Kos. The vineyard/winery was probably our favourite part, it was very relaxed, trying lots of different wines in the sunshine with views of the vines. A couple of other guests were late at different points during the day which made it seem a bit rushed towards the end and the panoramic photo stop was just stopping at the side of a road.

The trip was good with an excellent guide, lunch stop & good overview of the island but I'd question Tui's use of the word exclusive and small group. 20+ people on a coach & was told by the rep it could be up to 30. Not sure what was meant by exclusive either but overall I would recommend it.
