1 hour boat to Symi Island

The boat trip to and from symi was great itself. We got there in just over 1 hour with plenty of room inside the boat. We had 4 hours on the island which is more than enough time to take it in. Our driver that picked us up in the morning and dropped us off in the evening was absolutely amazing, no faults at all. He was very energetic and great entertainment from the minute he picked us up to the second he dropped us off. I would recommend this services to everyone. Money spent well

Enjoyable day out on Symi Island

Easy low stress transfers and pick up from our hotel to the beautiful Symi island. Thoroughly enjoyed the visit to Symi Island despite the heavy rainfall on the boat trip, we were given a large umbrella which we were very grateful for being on the top deck of the boat! It was nice to have a day away from Rhodes to try something different.

Good trip

Trip was great but it was described as a 7 hour trip , it was more like 11 hours picked up at 8 and we only left Rhodes town at 6 30 to travel back to Lindos suggest Viator make this clearer
