The tour guide was very informative and friendly, providing clear instructions throughout the day. Unfortunately the weather was not great and the sea was very choppy, so the trip to the monastery was cancelled. Hence the tour was basically a return trip to Symi from Rhodes.
Symi was very pretty and we were given 3 hours free time to explore with an optional 1-hour guided tour by the tour guide. We opted to skip the guided tour and wandered round the town on our own.
If we had gotten to see the monastery as well, then the tour would have been worth the money - unfortunately (due to no fault of the tour provider), we did end up paying a lot for what was essentially a return ferry to Symi.
We still had a lovely time and kudos to the tour guide for keeping us informed of the situation with the weather.
