Excellent Price quality ratio - Very professional and friendly staff, the summary by email and direct communication by whatsapp is very convenient. Schedules are respected and everything is as described. We need the excursion to Symi, it's a bit far by boat but the view is beautiful and the comfort quite suitable (with bar on board, clean toilet and enough room not to feel crowded) Very good experience at a very reasonable price! Thank you!

Great day out - The boat was very comfortable and everything ran smoothly and in time with the itinerary. Enough space for everyone, the noodles were much appreciated for the swim stop. Overall a great day and would recommend booking!

Must Visit Symi Island. - From booking through trip to the actual excursion the communication was excellent I instantly received an email with all the details and the day before received a WhatsApp message and email confirming pickup details. We got picked up from our hotel at 07:30, and arrived at the port by 09:10. Collected information and made our way to the boat (Doll) The crew were welcoming, and the boat was clean and well presented The journey to St Georges Bay (first stop) for a swim was good - slightly bouncy but that’s to be expected in the sea SGB was lush - has an hour to swim in crystal clear waters. On to Symi Island and it was a sight to behold! Absolutely stunning. We had 3 hours to explore the Island - which was ample time. Return journey back to Rhodes was good - again slightly bouncy but nothing the boat couldn’t handle Transportation back to our hotel was fine - prompt and clean. Highly recommended

Hugely enjoyed it! - Very nice day! Because I can be prone to seasickness, we have carefully selected this trip. The sea was quite calm, and also did not suffer from seasickness! The swimming stop at St. George was a bit shorter than described (1h instead of 1.5h), but was also more than enough afterwards. Nice bay for a swim. Symi is a very nice island, with many shops and restaurants. Very much worth it all in all!

Luxury boat trip to Simy - I have used this company for a couple of trips. Overall it was a great experience. The luxury boat it’s quite fast and modern and the staff was really nice and helpful Symi Island it’s beautiful and a place that everyone should see. I am already looking forwards to go back for a few days next time! The only downside part of the trip was that it was very windy, and the sea was unsettled. As we were travelling at fast speed many of us felt unwell, but this is no-one’s fault, and the staff did whatever they could to help us. I would still rate this trip 5 start as this didn’t stop me from having a fab day and enjoying my time in Symi. The extra 10% in restaurant etc for people that use half-price tours was appreciated. The recommended restaurant with discount was absolutely lovely. The Symi baby prawns were great. Overall great experience and tour

Amazing experience - We booked our day trip to Symi from Rhodos with Half Price Tours and it was an excellent choice! Everything was perfectly organized – we got all the details in advance, which made planning super easy. The staff were very kind and helpful throughout the whole trip, and the boat ride was smooth and comfortable. Symi is absolutely beautiful, and the experience couldn’t have been better. We can highly recommend Half Price Tours for anyone visiting Rhodos!

Totally acceptable boat tour. - Very nice time, locations were great, boat was fine, staff were nice. Amenities (bathroom, bar) were nothing to write home about. What can one say, I mean, it’s a big boat that takes you to two nice places. Noodles and hose were provided after swimming. Symi is gorgeous, and so is St. George Bay.

Good experience - Very good experience on the boat, I advise you to arrive a little earlier to choose your seat and have the best views during the trip. The staff is helpful and friendly and the outing is great with 1 hour swimming in the Bay of Saint George then we take the direction of the beautiful island of Symi for lunch and visit.

Nice trip - Island is worth visiting, really beautiful. Boat is large and seats are not very comfortable. Crossing takes 1.5hour. Swimming stop was lovely! St George’s bay is stunning with lots of fishes and beautiful blue colour

Ok but could be better for sure - No one was happy in the group. We was 11 people. First of all. You can get tickets cheaper near by the boat plus extra 10€ with all inclusive for a drinks. Online much higher prices was and you can’t get option about all in drinks or food. Buying separately it’s very expensive. Second thing buy the plan first stop at Symi when to St. Giorge beach but was other way round. Overall boat trip and stuff was ok. In the pic. You can see people at the front boat but actually not let you go.
