Wonderful day trip to Symi - Excellent organisation. Collected from hotel on time and dropped at boat after collecting tickets. Great day out on the most beautiful island before returning to be collected from the boat. Communication was excellent throughout from Half Price Tours. I highly recommend them

Trustworthy and good communication - We did several trips though Half Price Tours and all of them are very well organised. Trips can be booked online or at their office near Mandraki Harbour. You get confirmation by text message and can be picked up at you hotel if you want for an extra fee. Their prices are indeed very good! If you do the bus trip to Lindos you get a nice tour guide in the mini bus who tells all about what is to see on this route. We highly advice Half Price Tours!

Brilliant trip to the island of Symi - Have used this company a few years ago on a trip to Lindos and they never disappoint. This year we went to the island of Symi which was about 1 hour and 20 minds away. Boat was comfortable and we sat on the open top deck. Booking tickets was easy, we booked via the shop next to the colours of Benneton in the town. Great value at 30 euros each and the guy in the shop even puts direction to the port into your Google maps for you to catch the Seneco boat. Highly recommended.

Very good - Enjoyable experience. The place where we could swim was beautiful. Lots of space in the boat which allowed us not to be on each other.

Not what we booked and lied to regarding the reason - We booked tickets online for the fast boat departing at 10:30 and returning at 15:45. You have to go to the ticket office on the day of the trip to pay. They took the payment and only then told us the return was at 18:00. I asked why as this didn’t suit us as we had a dinner reservation for the evening, and we were told that the boat company (SEBECO) had changed the schedule without warning. However, there is a SEBECO ticket office at the port so whilst waiting to board we just thought we’d ask them if there was an earlier return than 18h and they told us yes, 15:45 but it was full! So basically Half Price Tours lied to us, took our money for something we didn’t book and didn’t even apologise. N..B we actually managed to get on the 15:45 by booking another return ticket online with another company once we got to Symi. Cost us more but at least we managed to get back to Rhodes on time.
