An unforgettable and thoughtful tour of Rhodes with an exceptional guide.

Our guide, Aga, did an outstanding job showing us the beauty and history of Rhodes while skillfully helping us avoid the crowds. His passion for the island and deep knowledge of its history truly enhanced the experience. We were also traveling with my 86-year-old mother, and Aga was incredibly kind, patient, and attentive to her throughout the day. Thanks to him, she thoroughly enjoyed the tour and felt comfortable the entire time. We highly recommend this experience to anyone visiting Rhodes!

See some more of the island!

Our half-day tour to Lindos was just what I was looking for. It was great to get out of Rhodes City for awhile and be around the olive trees and forests. Lindos was beautiful as expected, and was extra great because our guide Nicholas made sure we got ahead of a big tour bus we saw heading the same way. We had the acropolis nearly all to ourselves for at least half an hour, which was fantastic. We mixed our tour with what they typically offer and cut a couple things and added another stop we were interested in, and Nicholas knew just the best way to do it. He's very knowledgeable and fun and passionate about Rhodes - just what you want in a guide. We learned a lot and had a great time.

Operator response

We sincerely appreciate you sharing your experience with us! It’s great to hear that Nicholas was able to provide a knowledgeable and fun tour while beating the big tour buses to Lindos. Customizing our tours to meet our guests' needs is something we take pride in. Thank you for choosing us for your private tour in Rhodes! Wish you many other great trips in the future Best regards Team of Rhodes Taxi Tours

Amazing day with Nikos!

Nikolas showed us all over the island and was the consummate host. He asked about our needs and wants and made sure he met each and every one. It was an incredible day on a lovely island. My niece lost her earring during the day and Nikos incredibly was called a few hours later by someone who knew someone else who knew he had been looking for something that was lost and she got it back! It would not have happened if not for Nikos and his familiarity with so many on the island. It made our day even better, if that was possible. We saw all of the sites, had a fabulous fresh fish lunch, and were able to get some local pottery to take home. The last thing I'll mention is Nikos' attention to detail. The third in our group is handicapped and needs assistance. Nikos made sure she was always cared for and when she chose to stay in the car he took her for a coffee. Now that is a wonderful host. We very much appreciated his time, kindness, and care while visiting Rhodes. We highly recommend Nikolas as a guide.

Operator response

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts for this incredibly moving review. It was truly an honor for Nicholas to host you and your family on our beautiful island. We are so happy that your niece’s earring was found! Rhodes may be an island, but it is also a tight-knit community, and Nikolas’s deep roots and connections here really shine in moments like these. It’s wonderful to know that a stressful moment turned into such a heartwarming story. We are glad you enjoyed the fresh fish lunch and found some local pottery to remember us by. We look forward to welcoming you all back to Rhodes in the future! Warmest regards Team of Rhodes Taxi Tours

Rhodes to Lindos from a cruise ship.

Our driver, Vasilis, met us at the ship and took us on a 5 hour tour of Rhodes in an S Class Mercedes. His English was excellent as he told us about the history of Rhodes and what life in Rhodes is currently like. We stopped at many beautiful spots for photos. We went to the Acropolis of Lindos. We asked to be dropped off at a local restaurant before returning to the cruise ship.

Operator response

Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We are delighted that your time in Rhodes was such a highlight of your cruise. Assisting our guests with local recommendations, like a traditional restaurant, is always our pleasure to ensure you get an authentic taste of Rhodes before heading back to your ship. We hope to welcome you back for another tour the next time your travels bring you to our shores! Team of Rhodes Taxi Tours

Nicholas saved the day!

Our tour guide Nichollas was amazing! Traveling in Rhodes in January is definitely the off-season. We were having a hard time finding a guide to take us to Lindos until we found Nicholas. It was the best thing we could’ve done. He not only took us to Lindos, but also took us to several other historic places and an out-of-the-way shrine that we would’ve never found ourselves. Plus he called a ceramic store to see if we could stop and watch how ceramics were made. He was closed but let us come watch and buy a beautiful plate. Stopped at a fruit stand had a most delicious orange Thanks to Nichollas. He really made our trip.

Operator response

Nicholas was wonderful.

We stayed in Rhodes in January. So it definitely was the off, off season. We wanted to go to Lindos but did not feel comfortable renting a car. After much searching we found a private tour on Viator. Couldn’t be happier! Nicholas was amazing. He just didn’t take us to Lindos but to several other historic sights including an out of the way shrine we would never have found ourselves. We stopped at a fruit stand had fresh oranges - that were delicious. He gave us his number just in case we needed anything while we were in Rhodes. He made our trip. As a side note January in Rhodes is a ghost town. If you like shopping this is not a good time. However if you want to see all the sights without all the crowds it was Perfect!

A Wonderful Island Tour

Our guide, Christopher, provided an excellent tour of Rhodes. He was very knowledgeable and professional. We particularly appreciated that he was flexible in customizing the tour to our preferences. My husband has mobility issues and Christopher was very accommodating and helpful. We also appreciated the clear communication before the tour so that we knew exactly where and how we would be met. Rhodes is a lovely island and I would absolutely recommend this tour and guide for a most enjoyable experience.

Top trip

Requested a custom tour as we have visited Rhodes before. Got a prompt response from Ellie and after a few emails the trip was arranged. Picked up by Aga at our hotel we had a most enjoyable and informative seven hour tour. Aga was great company and very knowledgeable, providing excellent counsel on our best options. He topped it all with an excellent recommendation for lunch. A local fish taverna on the sea front with a beautiful outlook , lovely food and excellent hospitality. Thoroughly recommend and would definitely use again
