    Irini our TUI guide looked after us well. She was such a pleasant happy person. The drivers in both directions from and back to the hotel were pleasant people too. All in all a trip worth going on. Lovely harbour and no walking up steep hills necessary.

    Pick up time changed to 55 mins earlier than booked. However on time, 3 hour stop and a 45 min stop in two places. Ferry 2 hrs. All in all from hotel pick up was 11.5 hr day Symi was lovely and worth the effort. I think the trip was worth £36 including pick up and drop off and the ferry ticket

    It’s a waste of time stopping at the monastery, if we’re not going to have a guide as it wasn’t clear what you had to do in the chapel and I was refused entry and I was wearing a dress with shoulders covered. I would much rather have had longer in Symi

    The island itself was stunning. As for the experience through tui. The bus turned up 25 minutes late without any email or message regarding this. When I spoke to the hotel rep, he was very rude and stated that as I didn't book through, he couldn't help me, even though I booked through the tui app. He then rang the experience guide and he informed me that the bus was due at 915 and I should have received a message about this, which I hadnt

Butterfly Valley and Kalavarda Sea House family adventure in Rhodes

Who can resist smiling when they see a butterfly? On this trip to northern Rhodes, you'll have literally millions of reasons to beam on this family-friendly adventure. You'll be collected from your hotel and whisked to Butterfly Valley on a scenic bus ride, where your guide will give you the lowdown on the butterfly park, its history and its flighty residents. Arriving at the park, grab your butterfly bingo card to add an extra twist to your visit. Take your time to wander through the park's green trails, pause at the waterfall for a selfie and see how many squares you can tick off on your bingo card as you look for your fluttering friends – the top three winners get a prize. Throughout the summer months you're likely to see a kaleidoscope of Jersey Tiger butterflies. These distinctive butterflies have brown wings with yellow stripes, but when they open up, they show off bright red hind wings – making them easier to spot.Hop back on the bus and head to Kalavarda Sea House, a traditional Greek restaurant by the beach where you can relax. The butterfly theme continues here, with creative crafts. Make your own butterfly souvenir, try your hand at drawing a nature scene from your trip, or let the children – and the young at heart – embrace their inner butterfly with face paints.
