Pick up was on time, found finding the point a struggle with map that was sent but soon took advice on resort. The boat was clean, well managed and sailing fantastic, beautifully scenery all the way. Once there at Symi, the guide very good but we struggled with the ear pieces, both wearing glasses, also not only English speaking we had lots of silences while he spook to another language, so we skipped the tour and did our own thing, in fairness it’s just so beautiful to stroll around and take in the scenery. Found a nice taverna for lazy lunch. We had a bonus on boat back as stopped further around the island at a monastery which looked beautiful, there was time to look around but we were tired so stayed onboard and just enjoyed the scenery around us. We knew nothing of the monastery stop when we booked the tour! Once docked in Rhodes Town it was speedy disembark and back on the coach back to Pefkos. A long day as we were out 12 hours but well worth it for the beauty we experienced!

Lovely guide Anna who was informative. Found the technological stuff annoying - took loads of time setting up and as the only 2 English speakers we were totally in the minority and kept getting the German commentary which was off putting. Totally missed that we were calling in somewhere else on the way home. That got lost in translation. Pick up and drop offs were comfortable and punctual.

Eine wunderschöne Insel. Die Fremdenführerin ist mir Leib und Seele dabei und das merkt man. Man bekommt einen schönen Eindruck von der Insel und den Menschen dir dort leben. Der Transfer hat an sich auch gut geklappt, uns wurde allerdings bei der Rückfahrt zum Hotel ein falscher Bus genannt, weswegen wir dann laufen mussten. Im großen und ganzen aber wirklich zu empfehlen ☀️
