To say that this was a perfect day would be a huge understatement. Vasilis is wonderful person, and he cares so much about Rhodes, it's shows in every story he tells you. We were also fortunate that his wife joined is for the day. I cannot recommend this company enough, it's definitely not your cookie cutter tour company, it's truly authentic!

The valley is very pretty and the walkways very safe. When the butteries swarm it is a spectacular sight. The only down side had to pay for toilets. Alexis was a great host and very knowledgeable and friendly.

We really enjoyed every aspect of this tour. We were greeted in the morning by Alexis, our guide for the day, who collected us from our hotel and drove us up to the 'Valley of the Butterflies'. The valley was a very unique experience, very much helped by it being the correct season so there were plenty of butterflies there (I believe July to September is the right time but don't quote me on that!). The walk all the way up to the monastery is up a lot of steps and the ground through the valley is quite uneven so just be mindful of that before you venture out Then we headed off to the wine tasting at a local vineyard and winery which was not too far away from the valley. The wines were lovely and we also sampled some local olive oil and some spirits which was great! Rather than have lunch at the winery, we opted to extend our tour to drive to Apollona to have lunch there, stopping along the way at some notable landmarks. This was considerably off the beaten track so it was really nice to see an arguably more authentic part of the island. Also the honey and olive oil we bought at the local shop in Apollona was amazing! Special mention must go to our guide Alexis, who was very personable and knowledgeable about the island and was a great guide for the day. It really made the difference having that more personal touch for a trip like this. Definitely give this a whirl if you want to have an experience which feels a bit more unique!

Vastly overrated experience.Led by guide (Stefen) who during the tour old us they weren't butterflies but moths (butterflies sounded nicer to draw in tourists).Moths Valley?Yeh, I get it.

We really enjoyed this tour and it was a welcome change from the coast. Our guide, Alex, took us into the interior of Rhodes which is completely different to the more developed areas. It’s very green and our walk through the valley of butterflies was so relaxing and cooling. Then we took a little wine tasting before heading into the mountains. We stopped at an amazing small 15c church before taking a huge lunch in Apollonon - we couldn’t finish it despite Alex choosing delicious authentic dishes. If you enjoy walking, culture and getting away from the bustle then you’ll really enjoy this.

We were picked up by Alexis who was the perfect guide. He was extremely personable and had a vast knowledge of the island making this a day of fun and adventure. We then went to do our wine tasting. It was a small family owned winery so it was great to have Jason, who is the 3rd generation winemaker, take us around and explain the vineyards and winemaking process. After that we went to Butterfly Valley. This is a once in a lifetime breathtaking experience. I have never seen anything like it before. Lunch was on the Windward side of the island where we could watch people kite surfing. The lunch was outstanding consisting of a variety of authentic Greek dishes. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Very nice and friendly guide. Great service and host at the wine tasting. Maybe to have a bit more wine to taste, but great overall and very nice lunch.

To be honest, superb experience. It’s difficult to really give feedback on this one adventure. After our day of butterfly and wine, we continued with this tour company for the majority of our vacation (doing 2 other tours!) Our tour guide, Alex and his colleague Visilius were fantastic, friendly and very helpful. This is really the first tour company where I found myself really feeling like I was with friends! We loved our time and carried on with 2 other excursions. They give lots of options and ideas! If you’re looking for a personalized tour, considering your wants/needs... you can’t go any further!

My wife and I booked this tour, but were able to customize it since we had already visited Butterfly Valley. Vasilis picked us up and took us to a few beautiful locations that we hadn't heard of before, giving us plenty of time to look around and providing information as we went along. The wine tasting itself was really nice, at a family-run winery. Since the winery is currently not providing lunch every day, we were taken to a little traditional cantina on the beach where we had a fantastic selection of Greek food, that Vasilis picked out for us based on what we like. All in all a really great experience, both for the locations you'll visit and for the friendly, knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend.

It was just me and my daughter, Vasilis picked us up and stopped for an early morning iced coffee which was a nice touch. Then on to the butterfly valley where we had 2 hours to explore but didn’t feel rushed. Then the wine tasting where we had a private tour of the vineyard and plenty wine to taste as well as olive oils and honey. Next on to an out of the way lunch spot with amazing sea views and a fantastic lunch. Overall a great trip and worth every penny, would highly recommend

We had an amazing day with our guide Vasilis from Rhodetrip. We were initially hesitant to book this trip given the price and the lack of reviews but we had a great day. As we hadn't rented a car during our stay this trip allowed us to go to places outwit the town that we wouldn't have otherwise managed without spending a fortune on taxis. It was a private tour with just the 2 of us. We were driven to the butterfly valley and spent 2 hours wandering up to the top and back down on our own. The butterfly valley was well worth a visit and worth going early in the morning before it gets busy. We then drove to a nearby vineyard which was beautiful and very picturesque. We had lunch here after our wine tasting and 2 glasses of wine each which were covered by the price of our tour. We had a large selection of dished from the menu and everything was delicious. A few large tour groups stopped in for wine tastings and then left almost as soon as they arrived but our guide made sure we weren't forgotten about amongst the larger groups. The wine was lovely and we bought a couple of bottles from the shop. The one thing we didn't really get as per the tour description was an explanation of the old equipment but it was sitting there for a look at if interested. Overall a great day trip but some may find the price a little steep.
