Butterfly Valley & Wine, Olive Oil, Honey Tasting Tour (Small Group)
Description
A unique opportunity to visit Butterfly Valley by comfortable minibus and taste the best local wine, olive oil and honey with our local authorized English speaking guide. On this tour you will taste different wine varieties, extra-virgin olive oil from ancient olive trees (yes, you read it right - sample the same oil that our ancestors used centuries ago), and local natural honey infused with thyme, pine, orange blossom and different spring flowers. Before the tasting tour, you can enjoy some free time at Butterfly Valley. Every year, at the end of the wet season (late May), thousands of butterflies attracted by the scent of the oriental sweet-gum trees cover the entire landscape. It's a very unique experience and you should definitely try to see it.

The tour was more than I expected, a very enjoyable experience with Nicos our driver.
My wife and myself attended the wine tasting tour with stops to tase honey and olive oil as well as butterfly valley. Each activity was very fun and we ended up having the best morning in Rhodes. All thanks to our tour guide Stelios. He went above and beyond to make sure we had a good time. Stopping off on scenic views for photos, leaving us to the activities, driving us around all day and even gave us a private tour of the bee museum sharing his knowledge. He really made our trip that day. Thanks! Oliver & Rebecca
Absolutely fantastic trip. Our guide Niko was very energetic, knowledgeable, and made the trip very fun. He took the time to point out and explain interesting landmarks whilst we were driving between stops and made sure we had ample time at each place. The hotel pick-up and drop-off was smooth and efficient. 10/10, would recommend.
Nice wine tasting with nibbles Butterfly valley very enjoyable and bee museum excellent Our driver was extremely polite and knowledgeable
Well organised. Comfortable coach. All on time. Glad we chose this tour rather than just Butterfly Valley, otherwise it would not have filled the day. Highlight was the wine tasting. We all enjoyed the day.
This was well worth doing. The valley of the butterflies is beautiful and a good hike. We drank traditional Greek coffee, as well as sampling award winning olive oil, wine and honey. Our tour guide was brilliant and gave us plenty of time at each place we visited
We had a lovely tour with Nikos as our guide. He kept us entertained throughout and we really enjoyed the honey, wine and olive oil tastings. It was a little early in the season for the butterflies but we saw a few and enjoyed the tranquil surroundings of the trees and streams. A great trip if you want to get away from the resorts for a few hours.
We have done two trips with Half Price Tours to Symi Island and the Butterfly Valley both thoroughly well organised and directed. Thank you
Really great morning tasting olive oil, wine and honey. Not so many butterfly’s at the butterfly valley given it being June however it was a lovey picturesque walk and we saw lots of other animals like crabs. Nikos our tour guide was fantastic
We had a terrific tour which we booked onto the day before. The bee museum was shut when we got to it but Stelios, our amazing tour guide, quickly thought up alternatives. Instead of the bee museum he took us to a beauty viewpoint complete with strutting peacocks and then onto a mini honey tasting and feeding some young deer. The whole experience was fantastic! Frankly I think we had more fun than we would have at the bee museum! We arrived back from the tour in the afternoon tired but very happy.
