Interesting nature trails - Very well organised and efficient. Friendly staff who provided all the info you needed whilst travelling to the attractions so you were ready on arrival for your self-guided tour. Hotel pick up option was a bonus. My teo pre-teen nature fans enjoyed this trip.

Nikos (and ManosGoing) are exceptional. - We booked two different trips with ManosGoing, plus airport transfers. Nikos was our driver for each and he was SO NICE. He was especially great with my kids, and treated them as VIP passengers. By the end of our trips we felt we made a new friend! Would absolutely book again.

Loved the butterfly tour & springs - would recommend booking through Manos going!! - We booked the butterfly & seven spring tours via Manos going directly and paid online - got a confirmation immediately & details of where our pick up would be and when. This was smooth and easy, from the bus stop just outside our hotel (the grand Mitsis) at around 9:20. The bus was easily recognisable & great condition, had air con and comfy seats! The bus driver was very friendly and made sure we were all on board before setting off to our first destination to see the butterflies. Arrived at butterfly valley, great to get out of the sun for a bit & walk through the lovely green valley and see the butterflies. As others have said, it is a little uneven under foot so not suitable for those with mobility issues and make sure you have good shoes on! The butterflies (moths) were visible everywhere & we even saw some little crabs moving around in the leaves. The hike completely to the top was a lot in the sun & the only thing up there is ice cream/drinks/a toilet so if you are already hot I would skip that part as all the same things are available at the bottom near the bus stop. Also don’t forget to explore the bottom part of the valley, walking through the little tunnel & looking at the lakes was also very pretty. The driver made sure we were all on rhe bus & then we set off again to seven springs. He showed us the way up & recommended the road back down if we were tired, he also told us the restaurant at the top was great for freshly cooked meats. We set off up the trail to seven springs, not much in the way of springs as we were there in a heatwave but the larger ones still remained!! It was great fun going through the tunnel in with the water running through it - this is quite long and a little thin in places, take some flip flops/beach shoes to go through it. This takes you out to the other side of the springs & you can then walk through to the waterfall. It is all very pretty & is free to enter so definitely worth going.

Beautiful valley - We were here with our own car and there is plenty of parking space available. We started from the bottom of the valley and climbed up to the hill. The weather was quite hot so I recommend strongly to reserve plenty of water and take some resting stops along the way. It is not very easy to climb the stairs when it's hot. The elevation is around 100m and the whole trip from bottom to the top is 1,5km. The valley is quite beautiful and the butterflies are extraordinary.

Great day trip - Lovely day trip with sufficient time for a good explore around both the Butterfly Valley and Seven Springs. Butterfly Valley - beautiful woodland location with lots of butterflies around to see. I will note that the upper trail is quite steeply uphill (although with stairs). It was around 38 degrees the day that we went so it was quite strenuous even for two active adults! Make sure to bring drinks with you as they’re pricey at the site. Seven Springs - another lovely woodland walk with plenty of wildlife. Would recommend decent walking shoes as the terrain is really uneven and there’s a couple of uphill scrambles. We didn’t do the tunnel but the alternative route to the lake is easy to navigate. Restaurant has reasonable prices too.

Viator appointed... - Viator appointed (Jherrica) staff, who is irresponsible, careless. She willingly put different hotel name, which was far far away from the hotel I stayed, took money despite cancelled over the phone and explained in details. Another staff (Ariel) confirmed that first person wrongly put my hotel name after played the recorded conversation, initially was reluctant to refund and later on promised that he will return within 24-48 hours. Now more than 72 hours, no refund. However my bank account shows that Viator took money. My son is very upset, spoiled out trip, it's a scam.

Don't waste your time and money - Not worth the time or money. Transport was prompted and efficient. The actual Butterfly Valley was a non event. Only one species of butterfly to see..... not very interesting. Seven Springs not very interesting, after you have to hike for 10mins to get to the top. Save your money and do another tour in Rhodes.
