  • Bad admin from viator

    The tickets produced by viator took us to the wrong pick up point or wrong time as it had already left! We were sent to another pick up Point but it had also left by the third pick up point they had managed to let the boat know so it waited for us and we got on just in time. The staff at each point were great which was lucky for us but disappointed in the fact that tickets were issued incorrectly and probably won’t use Viator again based on this. Would recommend the trip but not viator.

    interesting excursion to Symi Island. stop swimming in a pretty bay. Note the possible departure from Kolymbia port between Lindos and Rhodes with ample free parking. I very much appreciated the organization following the breakdown of the boat that was to pick us up in Kolymbia. An hour late but the excursion was maintained. Good job!

    The tour is great and the island is gorgeous. I’d suggest 2.5 hours in the island and 1 hour at the beach in S George instead of 3 and 30 minutes. The pilots were smoking while sailing and this can bother people, although it’s open and windy.

  • Lovely trip to Symi

    This was a great trip and really worth doing. I thought it would be really rough but it was only rough leaving the harbour. The boat has really good seats. We sat on the lower deck on our way out but the views are better from the top deck. Symi really is beautiful and well worth the effort. Only downside is it’s full of tourists! Bring swimming gear as the boat stops in a little bay on the way back for swimming off the boat.
