The coach journey was very well organised and was like a tour of the whole of the north coast of Crete! Some spectacular views along the way. Our guide, Eleanor was very informative and friendly. A brilliant day! I would definitely recommend this trip!”

Review of Rhodes’ Butterfly Valley and Seven Springs day trip, with shaded walks, a famous tunnel, practical tips, costs, and honest advice.

“We were picked up a few mins early from the defined pick up location. after picking up the rest of the attendees the driver (Emanuel) gave good insight and intonation aber Rhodes or locations we were driving through. Even though there were no butterflies during our visit it more was than enough time to go all the way up, down and back. Same for the Seven springs. There more time was given to give everytime time for a lunch. All in all i can highly recommend this tour and if the opportunity arises will gladly go for the same provider again.”
