5/5 - Very nice experience! With 1 hour of swimming in the bay of Saint George, which is beautiful! The time to visit the island is more than enough to eat and be able to visit the shops!

Great value day trip - Really nice trip. Dropped at St George’s bay first which has glorious swimming. Next stop stunning Symie, which is almost too lovely to describe. The food on Symie was exquisite.

Basic but well organised boat trip to Symi with swim stop - We booked online and had the best experience. We chose to do a boat trip to Symi with a swim stop at St George’s Bay. The whole experience was seamless, from pick up/boat trip/drop off. Only paid €40 each including transfers, so please note that you get what you pay for. The boat was Zeus D and is basic but like I said you get what you pay for. We sat below going and sat on the top coming back. The swim stop is beautiful and woggles are provided. Arrived in Symi and was not disappointed, such a gorgeous place. There was enough time to explore, eat and shop. If you want a more luxurious boat then this isn’t for you, but I didn’t mind. The actual whole experience was fabulous and Half Price Tours ensure that it is smooth and stress free.

Spot on - A little sceptical at first, but all reviews are spot on. Really good communication with the pick ups from hotels. Sending texts before. Really well organised at the main store and drop offs after the trip. I have done many trips on different Greek islands and to be honest they’ve always been my favourite days. Always worth the money. The swim at the beach was amazing! Take goggles to see how clear and deep the water is. Symi is really nice to walk around. 3 hours is plenty. Staff on the boat friendly and speak well. Trip is a long journey to Symi so possibly a faster boat might be preferred but this one is still a great day and has a little platform you can jump in the sea from!

A must trip! - We booked via the half price tours website, very easy to book and opted to be picked up from our hotel at an extra cost, which was definitely worth it, they were on time and a modern ride to Mandraki Harbour to board the fast boat to Symi with an hour stop off at St George Bay. Communication was also great, text messages before and after pick up to ensure pickups and the trip went smoothly as possible. Lovely boat, one of the better looking and modern boat that I saw visiting Symi. Lovely little bar on board and ice cream available. Staff were great, welcoming and professional. Let me just say the stop of at St George Bay is a MUST. Breathtaking views and to get to swim in such clear waters was such a great experience. Paradise. Symi Island was just at magical, worlds away from any where I have ever been. Overall an amazing trip with a great tour company that didn’t disappoint and made our day/holiday even! Thankyou.

Fantastic boat trip - Our experience on the boat was fantastic! All staff were really helpful, friendly and funny! We didn’t like Symi but the bay was beautiful! Even though our experience on Symi island wasn’t great the experience on the boat was a good one we don’t regret it! Couldn’t fault Half price tours!

Fabulous trip. Symi is beautiful. - Amazing! My Grandaughter’s enjoyed jumping off the boat at St George’s Bay. It was beautiful. Symi is gorgeous! A mini mini Lake Como not too commercialised yet. Absolutely stunning. Boat ride longer than I thought but fine. Boat very busy so difficult for us to get seats together. Many people ‘saved’ seats which is annoying. Captain was great! Would definitely recommend.
