Fast boat to Symi - I can highly recommend this trip. We were picked up outside our hotel and then taken to Rhodes. We paid and got our tickets for the fast ferry from the Half Price office. Then taken by mini bus to the boat.
The fast boat was great and took about 1 hour 20 mins.
Symi was beautiful, we went back to the boat and was taken back to the mini bus in Rhodes harbour.
Everything from start to finish went as planned and no hold ups. Lovely trip!

Symi, you have to see this beautiful island - Our driver was on time and extremely friendly and helpful. Definitely recommend getting the faster ferry. Can get a bit chilly/windy obviously upstairs, but the views are amazing. Symi island is breathtaking, almost like a Disney creation.
Try and get the little bus that looks like a train, you’ll get to see some more of the island and only €8.
Lovely places to eat with beautiful views and plenty of places to pick up a souvenir.
Symi island is a must!

Perfectly organized by half price tours, schedule correctly adhered to - Symi is a lovely village/small town and was worth the trip. I can only recommend it. Of course you have to expect a lot of tourists but away from the lovely streets you will find lots of photo opportunities.

The best trip ever!!! - Couldn’t have been a better organised trip. Was outside our hotel for collection on the dot, such a friendly tip, straight on the boat and had our time In Symi. The bus was there when we got back to the dock and the staff are so friendly. Would book all my trips with and can’t wait to come back and book with half price tours!!!

Brilliant day out to Symi Island - Brilliant day out. The booking was seamless, the boat was really spacious and comfortable, took approx 1 hour 10 to get to Symi. The island itself is exactly like it looks in photos. Absolutely stunning! Full of restaurants and local shops. Everything was surprisingly well priced! £4 for a G&T in one bar! We took the little train tour which was a good respite from the heat. Definitely book this tour if you want a quick and easy way to see Symi.

Symi a sight to behold - Our trip to Symi was great. The multi coloured houses set in the hillside was a sight to behold. We took a leisurely stroll around the town/island and came across Tholos Restaurant. The food was fabulous, reasonably priced, good value for money with great views over the harbour. We would recommend eating here. We booked our tour with Half Price Tours. We were kept informed of our itinerary via WhatsApp - nice touch. Our driver picked us up from our Hotel on time and dropped us off right next to the boat. We found this company to be very professional, a great first impression. We would recommend both Symi and Half Price Tours.

Symi colourful island - The pick up is well coordinated and the communication before the trip went well. The only thing is that the time spent on the island was far too long. I think two and a half hours should be enough instead of three and a half.
