We went on the: Filerimos, Butterfly Valley & Ancient Kamiros Tour. Such an enjoyable day which included a perfect mix of different experiences. Lovely to have the opportunity to buy local products directly from the producers too. The bus was very comfortable and Margarita is a fantastic guide. You will need to bring extra money for entrance fees (6 euros X 3) and money for lunch at the taverna. I felt all the entrance fees were reasonable and the lunch good value - but helpful to know about these additional costs up front. Overall this tour is a great way to experience some of the more unique highlights of Rhodes (which are impossible to get to by public transport)….all in one day.

Our guide Margarita was very friendly and told us a lot about the history of Rhodes, even during the bus ride. You could always understand everything very well. The price-performance ratio was very good, really a very good price for where you go and what you see. We were able to buy lunch as a "special price" for the group for only €15 per person. Greek specialties were offered (we had souvlaki and moussaka) with starters, salad and dessert. All of it was excellent. Water and wine were also included. I can wholeheartedly recommend the tour to everyone!

Great trip loved the lunch although extra it was amazing value and quality. The wine tasting was great too

Enjoyed it very much! Guide Margarita en Yanis the driver are very nice kind people .
