Absolutely terrible trip to Rhodes City. Booked through Jet2 Holidays so no recourse even after writing to them as they said it is up to the travel agent, but why do they endorse such a terrible tour. An early coach but no food or drink for nearly 6 hours. Guide talked too much, didn't need that much detail. Everyone was fed up. Child crying. No loo breaks, only one stopping at the Stadium on the way to Rhodes Town, and then we were hurried along. This tour went through Savaidis Travel. No thought for anyone's comfort. Spoilt our holiday completely as we were staying outside Rhodes and never had the opportunity to go back.
