Reisroute
Begin uw reis door de historische ommuurde stad Rhodos binnen te gaan door de indrukwekkende D'Amboise-poort. Wandel over de gracht en bewonder de grandeur van het 14e-eeuwse Paleis van de Grootmeesters. Neem close-up foto's van deze iconische bezienswaardigheid en verken de omliggende monumenten. Daarna wandelt u door de charmante geplaveide straat van de Ridders, verlaat de middeleeuwse stad en vervolgt uw tour per voertuig.
Geniet van een schilderachtige rit langs de esplanade bij Mandraki Harbor, de historische haven van Rhodos. Deze legendarische locatie was ooit getuige van de Kolossus van Rhodos, een van de Zeven Wonderen van de Oude Wereld, een gigantisch standbeeld van de zonnegod Helios. Bewonder de unieke mix van architectonische stijlen, een bewijs van de rijke geschiedenis van het eiland onder Italiaans bewind. Bewonder de prachtige tempel van San Giovanni en de iconische Rhodiaanse herten, die de ingang van de haven bewaken.
Beklim Mount Smith, het hoogste punt van Rhodos, voor een adembenemend panoramisch uitzicht over het eiland en de sprankelende Egeïsche Zee.
Onderweg kunt u een werkplaats bezoeken om een pottenbakker op het wiel te zien, een oude kunst die Rhodiërs tot op heden nog steeds beoefenen.
Als je rond voor Lindos het panoramische uitzicht is adembenemend. Maak prachtige foto's vanaf uitkijkpunten met uitzicht op deze pittoreske bezienswaardigheid. Vervolg uw reis naar St. Paul's Bay, een pittoreske baai die bekend staat als het decor voor de Oscarwinnende film 'The Guns of Navarone'. Geniet in Lindos van ongeveer een uur vrije tijd om de charmante smalle steegjes te verkennen, door lokale winkels te bladeren en te genieten van drankjes. U kunt ook naar de top van de Akropolis klimmen, die dateert uit de 6e eeuw voor Christus. Verken de oude citadel en bewonder het heiligdom van Lindian Athena, de Dorische Stoa en Propylaeïsche ruïnes.
Je excursie wordt afgesloten met een heerlijke lunch in de baai van Haraki, aan de kust.

We did this tour instead of a ship excursion. Christopher was awesome! Was waiting for us right outside the ship. Took us to the places stated in the tour plus some! Took us to a great jewelry store and called a restaurant ahead of time and dropped us off there. Had a fantastic lunch and was able to go back into the old city for a little more shopping and was just a few minutes to the ship. Had a wonderful time!
It was a pleasure hosting you! I’m so glad Christopher could add those extra personal touches to your day, from the jewelry stop to the perfect lunch spot. We love showing our guests the hidden gems that the big ship excursions usually miss. Thank you for the wonderful feedback! — Mike
Our party of 4 adults had an wonderful time on our day with Vasil on Rhodes. We didn't book the tour until the evening before our ship arrived and it still came together with good communication. Vasil was a perfect host with a good game plan to see the entire island but also adapt for what ever we preferred to do. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the island, what locations we would enjoy seeing and was fun to spend the day with. Would highly recommend and feel the tour was a great value for the cost too.
Thank you very much for your kind review! We’re so glad everything came together smoothly. I’ll be sure to share your lovely comments with Vasilis—he’ll truly appreciate it. We hope to welcome you back to Rhodes someday!
We had a lovely day touring beautiful Rhodes. Our driver and guide, George, was personable, knowledgeable and passionate about his country and its history. He kept us entertained and informed whilst also driving confidently and expertly. We visited various historical sites, walked a Nature Trail, explored Lindos and stopped at a small seaside restaurant where the views were only surpassed by the incredible food. We had the best kalamari and dolmades of our lives. The time flew by!
Thank you so much for sharing this lovely review ! We're glad to hear that George made your day in Rhodes memorable, he loves what he does. A mix of history, nature , and authentic food is exactly what we hope our guests will take away from the island. We would be happy to welcome you again anytime. Mike
Mike showed us an amazing time in Rhodes! He is an expert on the city and we loved every moment ! We really loved the sea side lunch restaurant, beautiful old town, the olive oil farm, pottery factory, Lindos and all the beaches and stunning photo spots. Great value and so much better than a large group tour.
Thank you so much Jeannine! I’m really happy to hear you enjoyed the day and got to experience so many of Rhodes’ highlights — from its history to its coastline and a good meal by the sea . Hope to see you again on our beautiful island! Mike
We were extremely surprised at the beauty and historical significance of this island. None of the reading materials prepared us for the impression the island made. The tour was wonderful in introducing us to the character of the island and it's culture. Our guide, Vasili, was knowledgeable and helpful in every way.
Thank you so much for your thoughtful words. I’m delighted to hear how much Rhodes impressed you — it truly is an island that exceeds expectations with its beauty and depth of history. I’ll be sure to share your kind feedback with Vasili; he’ll be very happy to know he helped make your experience so memorable. We hope to welcome you back one day to discover even more of the island’s charm! Warm regards, Mike
Mike was great!! He was knowledgeable about local history, had a great sense of humor, and had great stories about Rhodes. His English was also wonderful 😊 He showed us many famous landmarks, ancient ruins, and told stories and history of Rhodes (both ancient & early 20th century). A pleasure to tour Rhodes with Mike ☺️
Thank you so much! I’m really glad you enjoyed the mix of history, humor, and a bit of storytelling — that’s the Rhodes recipe for a great day 😉 It was a real pleasure showing you around this island I love so much. Safe travels, and I hope our paths cross again someday! — Mike
George was an incredible driver and guide. We saw so much of Rhodes in our 6 hour tour! We loved Rhodes Town, visiting a beautiful pottery store, stopping for scenic pictures all over the place, exploring Lindos and the Acropolis. It was a magical and memorable day. By far our favorite excursion out of many we've done on our 10 day cruise. George is the best! Book the trip. You will not regret it. And lunch on the beachfront in Haraki was the icing on the cake.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! I’m thrilled to hear your day with George was such a highlight of your cruise — he’ll be delighted to know how much you enjoyed the tour. It sounds like you really captured the best of Rhodes: history, scenery, great food, and a bit of magic along the way. We truly appreciate your kind words and hope to welcome you back someday for more island adventures! Warm regards, Mike
The tour was advertised as a private tour with guide. There was no your guide and the driver said to us he wasn’t a tour guide only a driver. Not much information was shared. The tour outlined a focus on archeology and history, Reason why we booked the tour. We were dropped off at the side of the road at an archeology site and said we would be picked up at the bottom with no direction as to what to look for in this site. No overview of this site at all before we got out of the vehicle. We were basically left on our own to figure out how to get down to the bottom. It indicated that we would be going to the port of MANDRAKI and I don’t even know if we got there. We did go to a lookout spot. We were also supposed to visit traditional villages and beaches. I cannot recall doing any of this. We were dropped off at old town to visit on our own and had no idea where to go and what to do. For almost $1100. We really only got a driver and not a tour. The driver actually told me that he was a driver and not a tour guide. From reading it again , we were supposed to definitely have a private tour and not a private driver. This company had 7 reviews, but they were all five star. Hence, this is why we took the tour. I do believe the write up has to give them a one out of five I do feel that we should at least contact Viator. Hope this helps with contacting Viator and writing up the review
Dear Ms. Marie, Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback. I’m truly sorry to hear that the tour did not meet your expectations. I would like to clarify a few points: The tour description does not state that guests will be accompanied by a licensed guide. It specifies a knowledgeable driver, who provides information during the journey but, under Greek law, is not permitted to escort visitors inside archaeological sites. Doing so could result in legal consequences. The itinerary does not include traditional villages or beaches, and these are not advertised as part of this specific tour. The program delivered on your date fully matched the tour description, with visits to the Medieval City, Mandraki port, panoramic stops, Lindos and lunch. I understand how important expectations are when booking a tour, and I regret that there was a misunderstanding. Our aim is always to provide a comfortable and enjoyable experience, and I’m sorry you left feeling otherwise. Best regards, Mike .
This was an outstanding way to explore the beauties of Rhodes. Our guide, Vasils, was prompt, communicative, knowledgeable, and quickly felt as though he was one of our friends by the time our day was over. We were allowed to customize our trip details and even make last minute changes as the day unfollowed. He took us to places on Rhodes we could not have imagined missing after getting he chance to see them. Thanks to Vasilis, many of us have already spoken about making a return visit to Rhodes someday.
Dear Mr. Don, thank you so much for sharing such kind words! We are truly happy to hear that your day in Rhodes was both memorable and flexible to your wishes and you felt at home with Vasilis as your guide. There is always more to discover here, and it would be wonderful to welcome you back to Rhodes again in the future. Warm regards!
Rhodes is amazingly beautiful place. the tour brings us to see acropolis and castle. the old town brings you back to moyen age.
Thank you for your kind words! We’re so glad you enjoyed the beauty of Rhodes and its incredible history. We hope you had a memorable experience and would love to welcome you back in the future! Safe travels!
