Wonderful personal tour!

We had a great personal tour with Demetrius. He was our driver and guide and gave us great information about everything we saw on the tour. We had a wonderful authentic Greek lunch by the sea shore. He even provided us with cold bottled water. Would definitely recommend this tour and Demetrius to anyone. A personal tour is the only way to go!

Operator response

We are glad that the private tour made your visit so special. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back to Rhodes in the future. Thank you so much!

Wonderful private tour - great guide and beautiful scenery.

Mike provided a wonderful, individualised private tour of Rhodes. He was there early to pick us up right from our cruise ship. He shared a depth of knowledge about the places we visited. We loved our visit to Rhodes and got to see a great amount in the time we were there. It was more economical for the 2 of us to do this private tour with Mike than it would have been for us to go on a group shore excursion from the ship. The day was relaxed, and Mike made it all easy. We loved Rhodes.

Operator response

Dear Katherine, thank you for sharing your experience. I am glad that your time in Rhodes was both comfortable and memorable. It was a pleasure hosting you and I hope to welcome you back again in the future. Mike

Amazing trip with George!

It is great doing a private tour and George was amazing! If you are cautious about doing it, don't be! You are guaranteed to be back on the ship and it's so much better than group excursions for about the same price! I would 100% do it again!

Operator response

Thank you so much for this review! We’re glad to hear you had such a great experience with George! Private tours truly offer a whole different level of comfort and flexibility. Thank you for trusting us, and we hope to welcome you back to Rhodes again soon. Warm regards!

Nice overview of the island

By the time we took this tour, we had seen several islands and historical sites on the mainland. Our driver was helpful in tailoring our tour to spend more time in the unique sites (Palace of the Grand Master) and less on the archeological sites. Since we wanted to swim, he called ahead at the lunch place and reserved us a beach bed and umbrella for no extra fee. We swam in the beautiful water while waiting for our food. It was a great experience.

Operator response

Thank you for your wonderful review! We are glad that our driver could customize the day to your exact preferences, ensuring you spent your time exactly how you wanted—from exploring the Palace of the Grand Master to enjoying that relaxing swim during lunch. We hope to welcome you back to Rhodes in the future!

Great tour, wonderful experience in Rhodes!

We had a wonderful visit to Rhodes and Lindos, and Dimitrios made the day truly special for our family. This was a very nice, family-friendly tour, and we would highly recommend it. Dimitrios was an excellent driver and guide for the day. He made sure we were able to see everything we wanted to see, while also adding some amazing local stops that made the experience even better. Two of the highlights were a local handmade pottery maker and a family-owned olive farm stand and olive oil tasting location. Those might sound like small or simple stops, but they were absolutely amazing and ended up being some of our favorite parts of the day. He also went out of his way to help us see things that would not have been possible on a larger bus tour. One example was a short out-of-the-way trip so we could get a close-up view of St. Paul’s Cathedral. That kind of personal flexibility made a big difference and helped the day feel much more meaningful. Another highlight was lunch. Dimitrios found and made reservations for us at a local restaurant where we had the most amazing Greek salad and some excellent fresh seafood. It was exactly the kind of local meal we were hoping for, and we really appreciated him arranging it for us. For anyone visiting Rhodes or Lindos in late June or early July, be prepared: it is brutally hot this time of year. Bring electric fans, umbrellas for shade, sunscreen, and make sure you stay hydrated. Dimitrios always had cold water available for us, which was very much appreciated and very much needed. Overall, this was a fantastic tour and a great way to experience Rhodes and Lindos in a personal, comfortable, and family-friendly way. Dimitrios was kind, professional, flexible, and thoughtful throughout the entire day. We would absolutely recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rhodes.

Operator response

Dear Nick, Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful and detailed review! We are delighted to hear that you and your family had a wonderful day exploring Rhodes and Lindos with Dimitrios. It means a great deal to us that you appreciated the flexibility of a private tour and enjoyed some of the authentic local experiences we love sharing with our guests. We're especially happy that the pottery workshop and the family-run olive farm became some of the highlights of your day. These are the kinds of places that truly showcase the traditions and hospitality of Rhodes, and we're always pleased when our guests enjoy them as much as we do. We're also glad Dimitrios was able to tailor the day to your interests, from the stop at St. Paul's Bay to arranging a delicious seaside lunch featuring fresh local seafood. It's those personal touches that make every private tour unique. Thank you as well for mentioning the summer heat and sharing such helpful advice for future visitors. Rhodes can certainly be very warm during late June and early July, so we're pleased the cold bottled water helped keep everyone comfortable throughout the day. Your kind words about Dimitrios mean a lot, and we'll be sure to pass along your compliments to him. He'll be happy to know he helped make your visit to Rhodes such a memorable one. We hope to welcome you and your family back to Rhodes someday for another unforgettable adventure!

One of the best days of our vacation in Europe!

We had a great time on this tour!!! A great value. Old town, the Lindos Acropolis, the countryside and a lovely meal at a uncrowded beach in a wonderful restaurant. Mike had great options for activities and places to see, he tailored our tour to us. He acutely aware of schedules, crowd levels, and transit times between places to see. This helped maximize our day as we went between places that potentially could have large crowds to places that were quieter. His knowledge of Rhodes and its long history, great food and lovely places to visit proved to be one of the best experiences on our visit to Europe. His well equipped vehicle and kind personality made the day seamless, relaxing and extremely enjoyable. When needed he gave us attention and input and when appropriate he let us be on our own for a bit. A great value! We would recommend taking a tour with Mike as you will feel welcomed and fulfilled by the end of your day.

Operator response

Thank you so much for taking the time to share such a thoughtful review. I am truly glad to hear that our day together was a highlight of your vacation in Europe! I always do my best to manage the timing so my guests can experience places like the Old Town and Lindos comfortably without the big crowds, so I'm happy to hear that worked out well for you. I'm also glad you enjoyed the countryside drive and that quiet lunch by the beach. Thank you again for your kind words about my vehicle and personality—I always aim to give my guests the right balance of attention and space to explore on their own. It was an absolute pleasure hosting you, and you are welcome back to Rhodes anytime! Best regards, Mike

A day in Rhodes

We had a wonderful day with Christopher. He was so nice and informative and let us have a say in what we did for the day. We loved stopping at the ceramic shop. What masterpieces and the ability to have our purchases shipped home was wonderful. We felt no pressure to have to buy but the pieces were so amazing we just had to. Due to having some additional time, we also had a chance to meet Niko and experience some olive oil tasting and learn so much from him. Acropolis Lindos was so beautiful. Bring good and sturdy walking shoes as there are some steep areas and slippery stones going up but the view is amazing. Thanks for a wonderful day Christopher!

Operator response

Hi Mary! Thank you for taking the time to leave such a nice review. We are glad you had a good day with Christopher and that you enjoyed the flexible pace of the tour. It is great to hear you liked the pottery shop, the olive oil tasting with Niko, and the views up at Lindos. Also, thank you for the practical tip about wearing sturdy shoes—that is very helpful advice for future travelers. Enjoy the rest of your travels!
