Additional Information

An exclusive chance to explore Butterfly Valley via a comfy minibus and sample the finest local wine, olive oil, and honey guided by our certified English speaking local guide.

On this journey, you’ll get to taste various types of wine, extra-virgin olive oil produced from historic olive trees (yes, correct - you’ll be sampling the same oil that our forefathers used hundreds of years ago), and locally made natural honey flavored with thyme, pine, orange blossom, and an array of spring flowers.

Prior to the sampling tour, you’ll have some leisure time to experience Butterfly Valley. Each year, towards the end of the rainy season (late May), innumerable butterflies lured by the fragrance of the oriental sweet-gum trees envelop the entire Valley. This is a truly unique spectacle and is definitely worth witnessing.

Nice exploration of points of interest in Rhodes - I had a wonderful time on the Butterfly Valley, Wine and Honey Tasting tour. Our guide was fun and knowledgeable. My favorite was the Bee Museum and the honey tasting. They had quite a few varieties of honey that I was unfamiliar with. I also liked that our guide left us to explore Butterfly Valley at our own pace. It was a low key tour and a nice way to see the sights of Rhodes. I would definitely recommend this tour.

Unbeatable Service - This was a most informative and interesting tour in a beautiful area. We were taken by car and our Half Price Tour guide Vitali was extremely knowledgeable & great company. He was well known at the places we visited & at the vineyard we were treated to an "in depth" explanation on how the wine was produced from growing the vine to end product. We were even taken through the growing vines & invited to pick the grapes as well as tasting the end product ( the wine). At the olive oil & honey producers we were also able to sample the products. We bought from all as prices were so much cheaper direct from the producers as promised by Vitali. Half Price Tours offer a great personalised service and tours we took were exactly as described. Highly recommend using them. Lovely people. Would definitely use them again.

Amazing day - We went out for a whole day with a small group in a nice van. The wine tasting was fantastic, a family business where a lot of information was provided in an accessible way and then of course a delicious wine tasting. Further along a place to taste olive oil which was also a nice experience. To Butterfly Valley, which was absolutely amazing. What a special place to be. And finally to the bee museum where our own guide did the tour and had a lot to tell us. It was a fantastic day with a lot of nice information. The guide was also really fun and enthusiastic and knew a lot to tell. I would definitely recommend this trip.
