Rhodes excursion

[snorkle lover]

Has anyone ever done this excursion in Rhodes? If so can you comment on it?

Is it worth the extra price? There is also another excursion called Rhodes Culinary Delights which also involves food. That one is not extra cost

and maybe just as good.

We thoroughly enjoyed the included excursion "Rhodes Culinary Delights", and I see you have found my review of it from last year.

The paid for cooking lesson would no doubt be more exclusive.

Thank you Flossie. We will probably go with the included excursion.

We are already spending enough $$$.
