Symi Island is a definite for anyone coming to Rhodes. It’s a beautiful island with rich history and fantastic spots for memorable pictures. Just stay hydrated because it can get extremely hot. Other than that, people are friendly and warm, plenty of restaurants, and awesome gift shops. Our tour organizer, Manos Going, was definitely the most convenient and generous service provider. Highly recommend booking with them.

Excellent trip 💕

karen_S, May 2024

Fabulous trip from start to finish, prompt pick up at hotel, lovely boat, choppy on the way back but the lady behind the cafe was great, checking that everyone was ok, Monastery visit was lovely and Symi is definitely a must, definitely recommend 💕

Great Island to visit

Do not go in bar with handmade roses on walls opposite where ferry docks, they don't have a drinks menu nd charge you €12 for one aperol spritz

Amazing Symi

FruzsinaRkczi, Oct 2023

The transfer is done by comfortable buses. The boat is comfortable and well-equipped, clean. The staff is informative, precise organization. I got exactly what I expected. Symi was amazing, very good tour.

Fantastic day out

Ruth_W, Oct 2023

Very well organised transport, great communication and Symi itself is absolutely beautiful. Highly recommend.

Beautiful island

RUDY_M, Oct 2023

Well organised and plenty of time to see the island. Very good day out. Beautiful coloured buildings and fresh sea food restaurants on symi.

Overall a good trip, enjoyed the high speed boat, really comfortable seats.

Jayne_S, Sep 2023

Very good and enjoyable trip. Panoramas Monastery was a beautiful building, obviously if you are of Greek Orthodox Faith you would appreciate it more. Symi Island is lovely with it’s colourful houses and buildings. Maybe a half hour too long if you weren’t going to have lunch.

Great!

Natalie_K, Aug 2023

The Travel operator we’re fab, great communication from pick up direct to another tour guide who provided boarding passes and then directed us to Our boat. When on the boat, there were frequent information announcements and the boat operators held signs with timings to advise our departure time at each stop.

Great day on the water

Petra_H, Aug 2023

Very timely and organized. I wouldn’t recommend to go on a super hot day as there is virtually no shade on the actual island but otherwise a great tour. The best spot for photos is on the top deck towards the front.

Symi, must see island

Jennifer_S, Aug 2023

We really enjoyed our day trip to Symi. Symi is a must see if you are visiting Rhodes. This tour was good. There was two additional stops at the monastery of archangel Michael on the other side of the island and a second stop for a swim in the sea. We were given a leaflet about Symi but there was no tour guide which we we’re aware of before booking.

A great day out

Judith_H, Jul 2023

Excellent experience from start to finish. Coach pick up from hotel to Marina. Excellent choice of drinks and snacks on board boat at very reasonable prices. Swim stop at St Georges Bay is beautiful, Crystal clear turquoise waters. Symi Island is spectacularly beautiful with so many choices of restaurants to eat in.

Perfect day trip

Christine_H, Jul 2023

The bus pick up was punctual and very clean and nice. Very professional service and the boat was real clean and kept us all informed on times. Great boat ride. It was wonderful. Love the stop at the museum beautiful church. Perfect day trip. Thanks for the memories

Good schedule but self...

ashraf_m, Jun 2023

Good schedule but self guidance within the town. Go up the hill by bus but walk down the stairs with beautiful views

Amazingly beautiful...

Jean_W, Jun 2023

Amazingly beautiful island. Recommend visiting the monastery within your trip. Truly peaceful place for contemplation. Symi town itself is very picturesque and even though it was busy there's numerous taverns where you'll always find a table for lunch. The boat trip there andback proved somewhat bracing! Extremely windy even on a calm day and would definitely recommend a jacket . Overall a wonderful day that shouldn't be missed.

Far too long a time in Symi Island in scorching heat

Carol_M, Jun 2023

Pick up/drop off from hotels by Mannis tours was excellent, very friendly driver and bang on time. Too long spent on boat (1.50 hrs each way). Trip to Monastry was excellent, however 4 hours in Symi Island was far too long. We were dropped off at the hottest part of the day.

Great trip

shilpa_k, May 2023
