Do not book through trip advisor!!

Do not book through trip advisor!! Quite a mark up of about 20% on the official price Trip itself was very good and well organised, good communications from George in the office too but trip advisor rips you off Price is €35 we were charged £41 each

Amazing and Well-Organized Trip to Symi! ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We had a great experience! Everything was very well organized and perfectly on time. The boat departed on time and the journey to Symi took about an hour. The ride was comfortable and the boat didn’t move too much, which made the trip very pleasant. Once we arrived in Symi, the boat stayed there while we had plenty of time to walk around, explore the island and enjoy ourselves before returning. They also picked us up directly from our hotel and took us to the boat, and after the trip they picked us up from the port and drove us back to our hotel. Everything was very punctual and easy. The entire staff was incredibly kind, friendly and helpful. We really enjoyed the experience and would definitely recommend it!
