I booked a short private tour with George, it was an incredible experience! He showed me all the must-see landmarks and some hidden jewels in the island. Besides, his restaurant recommendations were brilliant. In Rhodes it’s really easy to end up in tourist traps, but thanks to George I felt like a local. If you want to really discover Rhodes, this is the right agency!

Thank you, Simi, for this wonderful experience. It was the best time my family and some friends had during our holiday on Rhodos. The boat was so big that it could easily accommodate 10 people. We had a good time jumping in the water, eating good food and learning a lot from Simi. Hope to have the chance to do it again.

We booked a full day private cruise 27/9 and as we had an amazing time! Everything from contact before the day to helping to arrange minibus transfer and meeting us upon arrival. During the day we were looked after very well with continuous drinks and wonderful food. When we visit Rhodes again we will definitely book this again as such an amazing day. Lots of swimming and snorkelling in wonderful clear water. Sailing back at the end of the day was a highlight as the wind was just right for the sails! Thank you xx

My wife and I booked this tour, but were able to customize it since we had already visited Butterfly Valley. Vasilis picked us up and took us to a few beautiful locations that we hadn't heard of before, giving us plenty of time to look around and providing information as we went along. The wine tasting itself was really nice, at a family-run winery. Since the winery is currently not providing lunch every day, we were taken to a little traditional cantina on the beach where we had a fantastic selection of Greek food, that Vasilis picked out for us based on what we like. All in all a really great experience, both for the locations you'll visit and for the friendly, knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend.

A unique opportunity to visit Butterfly Valley in a small group guided tour by comfortable minibus and taste local wine, olive oil, honey at the best wineries of Rhodes with our local authorized English speaking guide. On this tour you will taste different wine varieties, extra-virgin olive oil from ancient olive trees (yes, you read it right - sample the same oil that our ancestors used centuries ago), and local natural honey infused with thyme, pine, orange blossom and different spring flowers. Before the tasting tour, you can enjoy some free time at Butterfly Valley. Every year, at the end of the wet season (late May), thousands of butterflies attracted by the scent of the oriental sweet-gum trees cover the entire landscape. It's a very unique experience and you should definitely try to see it.

Would highly recommend this boat tour everything was superb from the pickup from our hotel to the stunning cove for swimming and snorkeling, then to the beautiful Symi, lovely coloured building in the harbour and stunning little side streets selling all sorts, enjoyed a lovely Greek meal in a traditional taverna highly recommended, then a couple of hours to wander around the stunning street's and harbour before we set off back to Rhodes whilst watching the stunning sun setting. Book directly with them to save a few euro's.
