Amazing!! I HIGHLY recommend this tour! Lots of fun and a bargain!!

Don't miss this! We were on a cruise with a short day on Rhodes. Rather than a pricey cruise-line excursion w/ huge, slow-moving groups, we did a private tour. We had 13 people, family and friends, ages 16-60. We LOVED this tour!! It was less- expensive than the cruise-line tour, but SO much better. The private mini-bus was very nice. We were able to beat the crowds. We were able to customize our tour to fit our interests. Our driver, " Mano" was great! Our tour guide was incredible!! He was knowledgeable, personal, and fun. He taught us Greek phases and greetings. We had a blast!! Wish we had lots more time!

Too little time

I love that is is a private tour and we got the whole bus to ourselves which means we can stay longer at certain stops and skip those we don't prioritize. We walked around Rhodes Town, then travelled to Lindos. We had a few beautiful photo stops along the way. There wasn't time for both visiting the town of Lindos and going up the Acropolis of Lindos which was a shame. There was a beautiful swimming cove near Lindos that we wish there was time for too. This tour should perhaps last longer than 5 hrs.

Thank you for your review and your useful feedback!! We have changed the tour and now is 6:30 hours (not 5:00 hours anymore) Kind Regards Nicholas A. Rhodes and the Team of RhodesShoreExcursions.com

The "Go-To" Tour Team While in Rhodes

Top notch transfer service combined with spectacular customer service while in Rhodes! Nick and his team assisted our group with a 5.5 tour visiting multiple beaches in Rhodes and the Lindos village. We also stopped at a wonderful local ceramic shop that had lovely items for sale and one from our group even took his hand in making some pottery from scratch with the assistance of the store owner! We were greeted by warm and smiling faces from knowledgeable guides (Maria and Katerina) at the cruise port with top notch vehicles with cool AC and bottled water for our trip. They even assisted several mobility challenged individuals in our group with tips to make their day as smooth as possible! Roomy, clean and comfortable vehicles along with friendly and professional staff made for a top notch tour. Easy and quick communication. First class operation from start to finish! Highly recommend and will use again next time in Rhodes! Thank you!

The best tour ever!

Before we booked the tour, we read all the reviews, but still not sure what we are going to get from the tour. We booked the private Rhodes and Lindos tour for 7 people. The car was very spacious and comfortable, our tour guide Kostas and driver Manolis were absolutely great. They know everything about the island and introduced to us in a very funny way. We not only had a great time for the tour, we also had a wonderful lunch in a local restaurant they introduced us. Everything in that restaurant was fresh and delicious. We can not thank them enough of what they have done for us. I would introduce them to my friend for sure and if I ever come back to the area, we will use their service again!

Beautiful Rhodes

From the moment we were picked up by Mick and Andrew until the tour ended we were given first class treatment and they both were very informative about the places we visited. I would highly recommend a tour with them

Excellent experience

We contacted Nicholas a month before the arrival of our cruise, very quickly and kindly answered our concerns. When we arrived at the port of Rhodes we had a Mercedes Benz van in excellent condition waiting with my name to start the excursion. It was our third visit to the island, which is beautiful, this time we met Lindos which is unmissable, its views, the village. The added value was certainly our guide Alex, not only a great connoisseur of history, but I narrate everything in a super entertaining way from the Egyptians to the present!! A genius Alex!!!

Super fun guide

I booked a tour for 17 people for the Old City and Lindos. Jacob was a courteous, friendly and safe driver. Kosta was lots of fun and made our day memorable. He kept us engaged on the drive to/from Lindos. The individual audio system is really great and many of us appreciated being able to wander a bit in the Old City without missing any of Kosta's commentary. I enjoyed Kosta so much I've booked him for a return tour in Feb 2020.

One of the best tours I have taken

Took this tour while visiting Rhodes on a Celebrity cruise. Nicholas Rhodes was in close contact with our group via email before and after the trip. He even called to speak to the person coordinating the trip during the tour to confirm that the trip met our expectations. His personal attention to the details was appreciated. We had Kostas as our guide and he was a treasure trove of knowledge about his beautiful island. He spoke clearly and they used high quality earphones so we could hear every word he spoke. The tour includes Lindos and the Medieval CIty and was a walking tour of those areas. It was 5 hours which was perfect for our needs. The Mercedes Minibus was new and clean and the driver was professional and drove safely. A top notch operator in every regard and we enjoyed every moment. Would certainly use them again. Much better than Ship related tours and at a reasonable price.

Operator response

We always make sure to cover the main attractions Rhodes has to offer and maximize the short time of our clients on the island. Everyone on our team is very experienced with the cruise passengers and we are keen to accommodate any request if we can. We wish you all the best and we look forward to meeting you or your friends and family here again in Rhodes! Kind Regards Nicholas A. Rhodes and the Team of RhodesShoreExcursions.com

Truly superlative tour, guide and company. Exceedingly well organized !

Nicholas and his company exemplify what everyone is looking for in a tour, Attention to detail before the tour, great assistance in organizing and finalizing the tour, details and costs ahead of time relayed to all participants. The tour itself delivers a full compliment of benefits from an extremely comfortable vehicle ,a tour guide-Kostas who is in one of the best I have ever come across, terrific headsets for each and every participants( a real plus) and an itinerary that covers a great swath of Rhodes in the time allotted. Without hesitation I would recommend this tour !
