What a fun activity to discover Kos town. The tour takes you to the main attractions in Kos, providing interesting and digestible information. The small riddles make the tour even more interactive, which is very nice! One of the attractions is currently not open to visitors, namely the Folklore museum. We did the tour in two times, which is also perfectly possible.

Bella l'idea, potrebbe essere sviluppata meglio. I testi contenevano ripetizioni ed errori ortografici, i siti da vedere non erano facilmente individuabili e soprattutto non si riusciva a tornare indietro nei quiz una volta saltato un passaggio. Peccato per queste piccole cose, perché potrebbe essere un'alternativa avvincente per adolescenti e giovani.
