2.00As a solo traveller I book trips as find them the easiest thing to do. Was given a pick up time, place and decrypt vehicle. Arrived on time and lively pleasant driver. When we arrived to pick up the ferry he told me to use my voucher to book on.. Never received one so started to feel anxious so might not be going. Went to the desk and a kind gentleman had to go through the bookings for my name and luckily all was ok. Please next time give everyone a voucher which will make the whole experience run smoother. Symi was absolutely stunning and worth the trip.

3.00Viewing Symi from the boat as it travelled around, such a beautiful place. Didn't have a long enough stay at first stop off and too long a stay at the town. It was too hot and little shade to shelter.

3.00We booked this excursion because the text said the max group was 19 persons. But it appeared to be 250 persons. When I called to ask whether we were on the wrong boat, she suggested I red it wrong. We could have booked another boat cheaper if we knew it was a big boat. Now the text is altered to max group of 250. Symi is lovely and worth a visit. The boat was very punctual. Also the pickup at the hotel was punctual.
Lovely day trip

4.00Trip to the island was very enjoyable. I used the transport proposed by the office. The driver was on time waiting for us and after the tour to take us to the hotel. Type of trip - without a guide. An element not included in the offer is the possibility of swimming during the cruise around the bay, the ship stops for about 30 minutes. I recommend bringing a swimsuit!
