Top Rhodes Day Trips

Communication for this trip was really good. Whatsapps were sent with exact pick up time and location. Apostolos our driver was completely nuts but in a good way. He was very entertaining and made lots of jokes. We had enough time to walk up to the acropolis, go in several roof top bars and have tea. Stopped on the way out of Lindos for a photo opportunity

We walked from our cruise ship and easily found the boat. We were treated like royalty the entire day. We enjoyed the beautiful blue sea, the sights, and the water. The host was fun and gracious. The food was delicious. The stops were perfect, about an hour at each site. Some even went cave exploring. One grandson said that this day was the best of our 11-day trip to Greece. We would recommend this without hesitation.

Probably our favorite island in our cruise and tour of the Greek Isles, even though this was Turkey! Inan was our tour guide and he was very good. Very passionate and informative about his homeland.; very thoughtful, kind, and helpful during the tour. Very accommodating of my wife's limited walking distances and her use of a portable motorized scooter during the tour. The only caution I would have for travelers is that he has a few stops which were somewhat of a surprise at local shops. Leather goods ( high fashion leather jackets), turkish carpets and pottery, all of which are locally produced, high quality / unique products but relatively expensive to consider for purchase. Still, there wasn't a lot of pressure to purchase and we can't fault him for wanting to provide an opportunity for his tour customers to support the local and rural families who produce these goods. (We did wind up purchasing a few of these items.) Just a heads up with a bit more clarity / transparency as to what we were walking into would have been appreciated. Otherwise, a fantastic tour and tour guide. THANK YOU, Inan!

We really enjoyed this trip despite it being too cold for us to want to snorkel. I could definitely tell that the water was crystal clear and it would have been a great time. But soaking up the sun and enjoying the view was perfect and the hosts were great!!

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.

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.

This tour was excellent and a nice break from seeing ancient cities and ruins. The boat was set up with outdoor couches that were comfortable and allowed everyone a place to sit. The three swim stops in coves were truly great. Crystal clear water and the third stop had an amazing cave that we swam to and into from the boat. Noodle floats were provided as well as swim masks. Some brought their own snorkeling equipment and I wish we had as well. The captain and mate were friendly and safety oriented. Soft drinks and adult beverages were provided at no extra charge. Fresh fruit was cut up on board and it was a nice addition to get a healthy snack. All in all a fun and great experience and just the right length of time. Ps. The sun was intense so be sure to bring sunscreen

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.
