Great day out with George

5.00We was collected outside our apartments on time by George. After three people didn’t show at the next hotel it was just my wife and I and our soon to be Turkish friend and George our guide. We set of to the olive factory which we enjoyed, especially the tasting, The next stop was the village which was quite quant, this was a about an half hour stop and we saw a church and had a wander. Following this we went to the pine forest and zig zagged over the mountain stopping off at various times to see views etc. Then came a superb lunch in a beautiful setting. Loads of food all hand cooked along with wine and raki 👌. Off we then went to the gorge. This was really stunning and whilst its a free thing you can do I would not want to attempt it without our guide. I recommend you wear trainers on this trip as there are some tricky climbs over massive boulders, and through a hole and along sides of slopes. It’s made easier as ropes and foot holds have been formed and fitted. Take your time and listen to your guide and all is doable. We loved it. After this we went to coast and you can swim,, or wander around but the four of us decided to have a beer and a chat. We all got on brilliantly, our new Turkish friend (the excellent climber) and George our guide was who excellent and a gentleman. He made the day fun, interesting, Thank you very much 👍
Fantastic tour

5.00We had such a great time on this tour. The scenery is beautiful. We stopped in a pretty town in the mountains, drive through a lovely pine forest, and then hiked the gorge in stunning late afternoon light. I’m not sure “hiked” is the right word though, it was basically bouldering! Fortunately our guide did a great job helping us scramble up the rocks by telling us exactly where to place our feet. I highly recommend it!
Great tour, recommend!

5.00Wow what a day in Rhodes with our guide Gaetan ! I won’t explain what was included or not as the description of the tour is clear but I can tell you we had an incredible day touring parts of Rhodes that you won’t do by yourself for sure. Gaetan was fun, smart and very knowledgeable ! We had the chance to be in area where the views where breathtaking and had enough free time to tour small villages by our own ! We would really have missed the best of Rhodes without this tour ! Superbe tour guidé avec Gaetan qui a été un guide vraiment intéressant et une personne qui mérite d’être connue ! Toute une journée qui nous aura généré des souvenirs inoubliables pour les années à venir 😀. Petit groupe de 6 personnes et en plus les gens avec nous étaient super sympa ! Impossible de battre ce tour qualité prix !!
Fantastic experience !
