This excursion was absolutely fantastic. We were met by the Owner of the company as we got off our ship, introduced to the driver, and we set off on our way. Our guide, Michael, was beyond compare. His knowledge, demeanor, and flexibility were unparalleled. In the more than 50 tours we've done with Viator, he ranks in the top two guides we've ever had. We saw all of the regular tourist spots on Rhodes, and also some lesser-known of Michael's favorites. During the latter part of our tour, the Owner, Nicholas, called to speak with me and check to see how the tour was going. I cannot recommend these folks enough and will assuredly use them again when we return to Rhodes.

This was an amazing experience. The owner of the tour group was at the port to welcome us and make sure we found our driver, Teo. Teo did not disappoint and he was a wonderful guide from Rhodes to Lindos. If you book this tour, make sure to confirm that you will visit the Pottery shop of Giovanni. We got to meet a man who has been hand making Greek pottery for over 50 years. We found amazing pieces for a very fair price. It was the highlight of the tour.

Emmanuel was our tour guide and he was EXCEPTIONAL! There was no question he couldnā€™t answer; he was a wealth of information and had encyclopedic knowledge (one of the 60,000 words that derive from Greek!) . He brought us to places where we were not inundated by other tourists and told us lots of fascinating history about Rhodes through the centuries. He was very articulate and easy for me to understand (despite my hearing issues). We could not have asked for a better tour or tour guide. STRONGLY recommend!

This tour was great! We were able to choose what we wanted to see. Our driver was very knowledgeable about history, but it was also great to hear his own personal stories about life in Rhodes. He made several stops for us including towns, beaches, ceramic worship, olive oil and honey stand and a Greek Orthodox Church. We ended the tour at the medieval city, so we could stroll through at our leisure and have some lunch on the way back to our cruise ship. Having this private day was much nicer than going on the shipā€™s bus tour.

We had a great tour of the city of Rhodes and highlights of many beautiful and historic areas! Our guide/driver, George, was welcoming, very helpful, and truly knows his history! He was a gem of a guide and a safe driver. This was one of our very best tours in Greece and we would highly recommend this tour for a wonderful way to tour Rhodes in 1 day.
