Excellent Choice - This was an excellent tour, so happy we chose this one. Great communication with the company and with the Driver George. The bus was comfortable, and the driver took his time to explain some history to us as we drove. Very informative. I highly recommend this as the best way to see the highlights of the island.

Nice day around Rhodes - We booked the trip from home and we were picked up at the hotel as agreed, the guide was very competent and could tell a lot during the trip, and was good at telling about what was best to do in individual places, so we got the most out of the visited places.

Great way to see the main attractions in a day. - Great way to see the main attractions in Rhodes in a day. Very comfortable air conditioned transport and our driver was helpful and knowledgeable. Each stop is quite spread out so expect to be in the vehicle a fair bit but the surroundings are beautiful so it didn’t bother us. Each stop is brief but gives you enough time to see the main parts of each place. It worked well with our two children as they would get bored staying in one place for too long. I would definitely recommend this trip.

Overview of Rhodes - Fantastic introduction to Rhodes, great local knowledge, loved the flexibility of the tour. Kids entertained all day, never too long in the car. Comfortable vehicle with air conditioning. No worries about parking or stress of driving. Would certainly recommend, something g for everyone.

Excellent tour for a quick island overview - fantastic day out - Absolutely amazing trip - picked the option for hotel pick up which is so much cheaper than getting a taxi so make sure you choose this option if you need it. We were picked up by Stelios in the mid morning so not a super crazy early start who was our driver for the whole tour - really friendly and helpful giving us little bits of knowledge and then tailoring the trip how we wanted it. Went to Lindos first, quick photo op at the top of the hill then had a wander around the city, took a walk part way up to the acropolis, saw some ruins, the little church and had chance to do a little shopping in the village- such a beautiful little village. There is a public toilet here at the drop off point but you need to pay - I didn’t go but probably a euro or something like that. Make sure you take a nice picture of the beach and the castle from the drop off main square. After we went to seven springs - walked part of the trail to the waterfall but it was very hot so stopped part way as it was so pretty before then we felt it didn’t really matter getting to the top! stalked a few peacocks then went the other way on the trail to the tunnel (had to take my sandals off and roll my trousers up to get in the water which was very welcome in the heat)!! There is a public bathroom here free of charge and a little restaurant for snacks and drinks if needed. My personal favourite was next, butterfly valley - dropped at the bottom car park so you can walk through the free part - turn left and go through the restaurant then you can walk the free trail to the main entrance approx a 15 min walk (easy walk but not wheel chair accessible) - plenty of butterflies to see here - even out of season, as Stelios said “look at the trees” and there are hundreds, just look like black and white arrow heads. If you want to pay €6 you can go deeper into the valley - the walk becomes a little steeper but I still managed in sandals and it is just so beautiful! There is a waterfall near the end of the walk where they circle round like you’re in a film setting. This is my cup of tea so we spent a long time here stalking butterflies - also look in the pools as they have crabs and look on rocks as there are lizards too! (Normally you get to go to filermos but I wanted to do the extended butterfly valley so this didn’t interest us as much so we didn’t go on this part of the trip so can’t comment on that but - but as I said it’s tailored to what you want to do as long as it fits with the time schedule) Lastly on our tour because we did it a different way round due to our starting point, was Rhodes itself. You get an hour or so free time in Rhodes depending on the time schedule. Dropped at the old town to wander and take in the history and fantastic buildings. Comfortable air conditioned vehicle, genuinely lovely driver who was informative and very realistic about what you will and won’t be able to manage in the day. We had a fantastic time! Please note this is a snippet tour and you don’t have the luxury to spend hours and hours in each place - if one is more important than another then you may wish to spend longer in one than another - we rushed Lindos because for me waterfalls are more important and chose to spend longer in butterfly valley but if you don’t want to go deep into butterfly valley you can see quite a bit in the first part without going deeper into the forest so can get away with the 40 mins ish Highly recommend this tour

Rhodes Island - It is my 2nd times to Rhodes but I get to see more of the island this trip. Good experience and nice island to visit .

This tour was enjoyable,... - This tour was enjoyable, although our guide didn’t provide us with too much information as we drove. It was more like a car service between various sights around the island. It was also more physically demanding than the descriptjon led us to believe.

Decent Rhodes overview - Our driver was nice and funny - he was on time and the car was comfortable for our family of 6. The tour was more of a driving trip with drop offs but not tons of information about things, which I guess we may have liked, so not so much history and info. He was very accommodating though and nice. We had hoped to see more of the spine of the island - but a road was out, not their fault of course and maybe more of Lindos, but there just wasn't time to do much while we were there except have lunch. It was a lot to pack into one day!

If you are looking for a... - If you are looking for a driver to take you to locations around the island, this activity will be fine. But if you are looking for a tour with a guide to provide information about the places you are visiting, I would not recommend this tour. Our driver drove us to the locations on the itinerary, gave us time to explore, and told us when to meet him back at the van. He answered questions and joined in some conversation, but he didn’t provide us with history or information about the locations.

Full Price for half the job. - NO WAY I WOULD RECOMMEND HALF PRICE TOURS! Sometimes you don’t get what you pay for. My wife and I have had the opportunity to visit over 110 countries and all 7continents. 90% of the time we book private guides for our tour needs. We usually use the service Tours By Locals or occasionally Viator. In this instance I initially booked with Half Price Tours on Viator. In checking on their company, I found their website and realized booking directly with them was slightly cheaper. I cancelled my Viator reservation, booked with the company online and communicated with them via email to confirm,make requests for lunch stop, and reservations and to also reconfirm our guide/driver. What ensued on tour day was nothing short of horrendous and unprofessional. Our driver Valenti was a nice guy. He was not however a guide (licensed or otherwise). He did not accompany us into historical stops like the Acropolis of Lindos or the Walled City /Old Town in Rhodes and explain these sights. He did have some information about the sights and conveyed it while driving to destinations, but not to the depth that a professional guide would provide. The tour was billed as a full day and full island tour. While we chose to include a lunch stop, the tour was more accurately 6 hours (including lunch) and comprised only part of the island. A full day should be 7.5 to 8 hours. The company picked our start time of 10am and our driver told us he had another tour pick up at 5pm. So clearly they never intended to provide a full day. The Half Price Tours website doesn’t provide a payment portal at the time of booking. Our driver was with us throughout the day and we even stopped at their business office right after our morning pick up at the cruise port in order for him to speak with his boss and complete some paperwork.. No one asked for my credit card for processing EVER. At the end of the day Valenti dropped us off at the Walled City and left. Honestly, I forgot that they hadn’t run the credit card. About 1 hour later our driver showed up at our cruise ship demanding cash payment. His boss Agne was on the phone and yelling. She was abrasive, rude, and refused to allow me to speak or complete a sentence I suggested we pay using a mobile credit card payment machine. She said no. I suggested paying over the phone. She again said no. She wanted me to go to a. ATM and provide cash. Given the shadiness and the ”convenient” no one collected scenario I was worried that a cash payment would not demonstrate payment in full. Using a credit card afforded me a receipt of transaction. Agne insisted that I would have to pay never before mentioned or agreed upon credit card fees. I said no. The company had all day AND a visit to the office to secure payment by the originally agreed payment form and for whatever reason did not. There error in not conveying information to their driver or me the client is there error and as the consumer I am not going to incur additional expenses due to their incompetence. Everyone makes mistakes. But the behavior of Agne…yelling, swearing, name calling etc. is wholly unacceptable since the error was of her own creation. If you make a mistake, own it, apologize and fix it. Don’t blame the customer for your poor business practices. Ultimately I paid via PayPal with my credit card and did not incur any fees. I assume these were passed onto the business. It is of note that while we tipped our driver at the end of the day commensurate with guide services he was not a guide and didn’t provide these services to an established standard . Was he nice? Yes! Personable? You betchya! A safe driver? Yep! But, we contracted for guide services and did not receive this. We were told we’d have a full day tour and didn’t receive this. Penalizing the driver for the hinkiness of his employer seemed inappropriate. As a result of the actual services provided, horrible behavior from Agne and the payment snafu I can’t recommend this company. I’ve hired well over 50 private guides in our travels and never have I had the kind of problems and unprofessionalism of Half Price Tours. DO NOT USE THIS COMPANY.
