Top Rhodes Day Trips - page 9

The boat took longer than expected but was calm crossing & relaxing. It did get quite cool out at sea so wished I brought more layers. Snacks available to purchase onboard. Board early for better seats - downstairs deck chairs faced backwards which I would’ve have liked. Great value trip

Another excellent service from Viator. Only booked at 7pm the evening before, but communication was excellent and even managed to get a minibus pick up from the hotel for a small additional charge. Had a fantastic day trip to Symi and the boat was air conditioned and very comfortable. Great booking experience and would recommend.

A really worthwhile tour. We booked the tour from the UK a few weeks before the cruise. The bus picked us up from the cruise port and from the moment the guide arrived it was a really good day. Very informative, time in Lindos to walk the village and have some refreshments or walk up to the Acropolis. A walking tour of the medieval town of Rhodes when we returned was again really interesting and easy.

Tour bus was at the port as soon as we walked off the ship. Stopped along the way to Lindos for ceramic-making and olive oil tasting (with opportunity to buy, of course). Lindos - have an option to EITHER shop or climb the Acropolis with the guide. We opted to pay the extra $20 EURO to go with the guide to the top. So glad we did! Breathtaking and she explained so much to us. We did note that shopping in Lindos is more expensive than the shopping in Rhodes. From Lindos returned to the bus to go to Rhodes for the walking tour. Learned so much with our guide. (Worth noting - There was no time to do the optional Grand Master's Palace Tour afterward.) After the walking tour, there was a wine tasting. We skipped that and then did OUR shopping. AMAZING shopping. Lots of leather. We bought jackets, purses, belts and we noted the prices were much cheaper than Lindos. From the walled city of Rhodes, we walked ten minutes back to the ship. The bus would have dropped you off if you did the wine tasting and didn't want to shop or walk back on your own. Our guide was terrific.

We’re so glad that we picked these guys over all the others, the boat was comfortable, clean with not too many people and the crew were friendly and helpful. The stops were gorgeous and food, snacks and drinks provided were delicious. Music was a great mix of mostly chill vibes with a few party hits when it suited. Noodles and life jackets were also provided if needed. Would definitely recommend!

The name of this tour is 100% accurate! The boat had two decks and was not crowded. We were allowed to pick a couch for our exclusive use throughout the cruise. We asked for a shady spot and one of the crew helped us with our selection. Soon after we settled in, they offered us a drink and showed us an ice chest full of local Zythos lager beer and bottled water. Crew told us to help ourselves to the open bar on the lower deck which had a menu with a dozen or so cocktails. We enjoyed Ouzo and cherry among other drinks. We cruised along the coastline before stopping at a protected cove, the first of three we would visit, and swam in sea. Snorkeling equipment, foam float “noodles,” and life jackets were provided. The beautiful blue water was so clear you could see your feet. The next stop was close enough to easily swim to shore and collect souvenir rocks. The lunch was fabulous; definitely gourmet! Shrimp spaghetti, salad, bread with tzatziki sauce, mussels, and a brownie-like dessert with a delicious sauce. The last cove was near large resort. We got adventurous and jumped into the water from the top deck! One of the crew brough out a floater of Zythos canned beers and playfully tossed them to swimming guests. On the way back we were entertained rock music with nice dance moves by one of the crew. The hospitality was wonderful. We enjoyed every minute of this! We highly recommend this cruise!

It's a small boat which makes it a nice and relaxing experience. Staff on board are very friendly and nice. The 3 stops were lovely and didn't stay for more than 40 min each which was perfect as our 9 Yr old couldn't handle swimming for too long. Fruit medley was delicious! Drinks were limited in variety but good. We had a brilliant time.

Symi is a delightful village, offering charming streets perfect for leisurely exploration. I highly recommend a visit to the Panormitis Sponge Shop, where they provide fascinating insights into sponges, including their various types and textures, and even offer complimentary items with your purchase. Upon arrival at the port, a large number of boats often disembark simultaneously, creating a bustling atmosphere as visitors head to the restaurants. We chose to explore first, eventually discovering a lovely fish market restaurant with approximately an hour and a half remaining before our boat's departure, which resulted in a more tranquil dining experience with attentive service at the Taverna International restaurant. The host kindly offered us complimentary melon after our meal.
