Fabulous tour to Symi
Fabulous tour to Symi. Lovely boat and great journey across, clean toilets and nice cafe onboard. Plenty of time to explore Symi before heading back. Would highly recommend.

Amazing Symi
The transfer is done by comfortable buses. The boat is comfortable and well-equipped, clean. The staff is informative, precise organization. I got exactly what I expected. Symi was amazing, very good tour.

Great day on the Water!
We were a family of 15 so this turned into a true private yacht trip! We were treated like royalty by the crew. The boat was clean and well prepared for our day trip. Not only were we cared for with food and drink but the crew was so knowledgeable about the area we also had private tour guides!

A Great Day Out
Great trip. Visiting Symi was recommended to us by the taxi driver who took us from the airport to our hotel. We’re glad we took their advice. Symi really is a beautiful place to go. Being on a self-guided tour meant we could go at our own pace, stop somewhere for as long as we wanted and also have a coffee or lunch to suit ourselves. The monastery is well worth a visit too, and the chapel there is lovely inside.
The 4* rating is no reflection on the tour or value for money. Rather there’s not much information when you book, while pick-up details are not given until midday on the day before you travel. Everything on the day went smoothly but a little more upfront information would be useful.
Overall a great day that cannot be faulted.

Not to be missed!
Absolutely fascinating trip. It’s an early start but well worth the effort. The guide communicated well and made sure we adhered to the timetable.

Lovely day trip
Excellent value for money. Hotel pick up and drop off was prompt with lovely driver. Long day but we’ll worth it as Symi is stunning. Would recommend.

The tour guide was very...
The tour guide was very informative and friendly, providing clear instructions throughout the day. Unfortunately the weather was not great and the sea was very choppy, so the trip to the monastery was cancelled. Hence the tour was basically a return trip to Symi from Rhodes.
Symi was very pretty and we were given 3 hours free time to explore with an optional 1-hour guided tour by the tour guide. We opted to skip the guided tour and wandered round the town on our own.
If we had gotten to see the monastery as well, then the tour would have been worth the money - unfortunately (due to no fault of the tour provider), we did end up paying a lot for what was essentially a return ferry to Symi.
We still had a lovely time and kudos to the tour guide for keeping us informed of the situation with the weather.

The island is beautiful...
The island is beautiful and a must see, however it is unbearably hot and there is no shade whatsoever. I would advise not doing the tour and just getting a fast boat to the island and going swimming. Standing in the boiling heat with no shade listening to a tour guide is uncomfortable, although it is important to add our tour guide was lovely. The trip to the island took a lot longer than I thought, I would advise sitting outside so you can get a breeze whilst on the boat. Although the boat had air con inside, you wouldn’t have noticed as it was so hot.

Overall a good trip, enjoyed the high speed boat, really comfortable seats.
Very good and enjoyable trip.
Panoramas Monastery was a beautiful building, obviously if you are of Greek Orthodox
Faith you would appreciate it more.
Symi Island is lovely with it’s colourful houses and buildings.
Maybe a half hour too long if you weren’t going to have lunch.

Symi
We had a fantastic day, the boat got away all on time and took us to the first stop of the day the “monastery” the setting was beautiful. From there we continued our journey onto Symi where the day just got better, its a great trip and we were very impressed with the day we had.
