10/10 would recommend!

Published on Oct, 2024

Wonderful experience! My fiancé and I had a great day visiting the valley of the butterflies and doing a lot of wine tasting! Food was supplied during the wine tasting which was delicious. Snacks and water were also supplied by our driver/guide! The main thing to say about this experience is regarding the quality care we received. Our driver/guide was really kind, even going as far as to drive back to our hotel to deliver a phone back to us which had fallen out of my parter’s pocket! We really appreciated his knowledge, personality and commitment to providing a lovely experience. We felt very safe at all times. 10/10 would recommend to anyone visiting the area.

Highly Recommend!

Well worth booking! Thank you to Tome and Vasilis for our tour. We started with hotel pick up and Tome took us for coffee. We then went onto Butterfly Valley, there were millions! (Mid August). Entrance was €6 per person. This is an extra cost. Very enjoyable. We then went to the main event for me, the wine tasting with Jason and his Vineyard. WOW. He was great at explaining the different grapes and the process in general. Can’t recommend this enough. Tome took us to a lovely village and recommended somewhere to have lunch. This was great as well! Tome then took us to several other spots around the island with some excellent photo opportunities! The tour lasted from 9am to 2:30pm. Highly recommend this tour company. Thank you again!

It was much more than I expected!!!

To say that this was a perfect day would be a huge understatement. Vasilis is wonderful person, and he cares so much about Rhodes, it's shows in every story he tells you. We were also fortunate that his wife joined is for the day. I cannot recommend this company enough, it's definitely not your cookie cutter tour company, it's truly authentic!

A great way to experience a different side of Rhodes

Published on Jul, 2022

We really enjoyed every aspect of this tour. We were greeted in the morning by Alexis, our guide for the day, who collected us from our hotel and drove us up to the 'Valley of the Butterflies'. The valley was a very unique experience, very much helped by it being the correct season so there were plenty of butterflies there (I believe July to September is the right time but don't quote me on that!). The walk all the way up to the monastery is up a lot of steps and the ground through the valley is quite uneven so just be mindful of that before you venture out Then we headed off to the wine tasting at a local vineyard and winery which was not too far away from the valley. The wines were lovely and we also sampled some local olive oil and some spirits which was great! Rather than have lunch at the winery, we opted to extend our tour to drive to Apollona to have lunch there, stopping along the way at some notable landmarks. This was considerably off the beaten track so it was really nice to see an arguably more authentic part of the island. Also the honey and olive oil we bought at the local shop in Apollona was amazing! Special mention must go to our guide Alexis, who was very personable and knowledgeable about the island and was a great guide for the day. It really made the difference having that more personal touch for a trip like this. Definitely give this a whirl if you want to have an experience which feels a bit more unique!

A nice get away from the touristic areas

Published on Oct, 2021

We really enjoyed this tour and it was a welcome change from the coast. Our guide, Alex, took us into the interior of Rhodes which is completely different to the more developed areas. It’s very green and our walk through the valley of butterflies was so relaxing and cooling. Then we took a little wine tasting before heading into the mountains. We stopped at an amazing small 15c church before taking a huge lunch in Apollonon - we couldn’t finish it despite Alex choosing delicious authentic dishes. If you enjoy walking, culture and getting away from the bustle then you’ll really enjoy this.
