Worked out so well. The only drawback were the crowds! So many tour companies do this same experience. Also the food was beautiful to look at as a pretty buffet but was very average tasting somehow. We are not picky but the food was not great. We are still giving this 5 stars because overall it was a great experience. They took good care of us. Our tour guide Duc was so good and Ha Long Bay…”

Review of Rhodes’ six-hour swim cruise with three bays, Greek buffet, open bar, snorkeling gear, and practical tips for booking.

“We had a great time. The beer was cold and the trip fantastic. We were on the upper deck and did not hear what the guide was saying. Little bit more information about the tour would be helpful when we were on deck. The toilets were clean, good music, good food. Captain was a fantastic dancer and got people of the comfortable beds and dancing. Best money spent in Rhodos. In Anthony bay the captain served cold beer in the water, this is something you do not want to miss.”
