Best trip - The trip was fantastic, with a professional staff that is really punctual and organised. We had one of the greatest days during our stay in Rhodes. I would definitely recommend choosing this tour.

Fabulous day out - Fabulous day out, the waters were so clear at St George’s bay and symi island is just beautiful. I was recommended half price tours and I’m so glad we booked with them as it was a much more reasonable price as we had to pay adult prices for my 2 teenage daughters. Would highly recommend booking with these!!

Lovely - the views were amazing, we sat upstairs and in the shadow. It was a nice trip. The staff is amazing and social. Symi island is so lovely and the swimming in the bay is so refreshing

Unforgettable Day with Half Price Tours in RhodeS - We had a fantastic experience with Half Price Tours in Rhodes, Greece. The trip was exactly as described—no surprises, just smooth sailing (literally!). The gentleman running the business was incredibly friendly and communicated everything clearly. We really appreciated that one of his employees even walked us all the way to the boat to make sure we didn’t get lost—above and beyond service. The tour itself was a dream. Swimming in St. George Bay was absolutely majestic—crystal-clear waters, stunning scenery, and an unforgettable atmosphere. Highly recommend this company if you’re looking for a hassle-free, memorable experience in Rhodes!

Fun day for all the family. - The views were fantastic, the swimming was great fun. We had some amazing food on symi island ant the taverna that was recommended by the trip organisers. We visited many shops to buy souvenirs, which were actually much cheaper than on Rhodes island. Overall it was a lovely day.

Boat trip in hot weather - It was very refreshing to be able to swim before arriving on the island of Symi. We landed in a sheltered cove where the temperature was close to 40 degrees. For this reason, our enjoyment of Symi was a bit lacking.

Nice experience - The service well organized, roomy boat and not people on top of each other. The time of the stops was right and great tips for visiting Symi. Friendly and efficient staff. I recommend it!!

Very nice experience - The boat itself was very big and luxerious. You could be seated on both the upper and lower deck. Bathrooms on both decks available and clean. The first stop at St George bay was a very nice swimming experience, the bay was beautiful. Symi was also beautiful to visit. Everything was well planned by Half Price Tours.

Overall disappointing - The boat was nice. We sat right at front! You get absolutely soaked, which was a lot of fun! The trip to symi island takes about 1hr 30, and symi island was stunning. We ate at a Greek taverna and had a look round etc. You get 3 hrs there. Then we went to St George bay on the way back. You get about 30 mins in the sea.and it is just beautiful. We paid €207 for 4 of us. Which seemed bit pricey overall. You do not get lunch or any drinks. Drinks Onboard are reasonably priced. The main downside was we felt more like we were on a ferry on way back. Tight plastic seats, no loungers, very cramped after a long day. It is definitely not a luxury cruise! There was very little atmosphere and most people went sleep on the ride back. No party atmosphere and the staff all seemed so miserable. We just felt like it all could have been so much better. Which was a shame.

wouldn’t recommend this tour for the price paid & time spending - The tour is definitely not worth the money. The boat is far from luxurious—crowded and lacking space to relax comfortably. The swimming stop at St. George Bay was disappointing, with a very limited area that felt more like swimming in a small pool than the open sea. As for Symi Island, while it’s charming, there’s honestly not much to explore, especially considering the long two-hour journey each way. Overall, the experience felt underwhelming and poorly planned. wouldn’t recommend this tour for the price paid.
