What To Expect
Medieval City
We will start our tour with a drive around the walls of the Old Town of Rhodes - the biggest inhabited medieval town in Europe. It was built in 1300s from the knights of the order of St. John. The Medieval Town of Rhodes is inscribed in the World Heritage Sites List of UNESCO. If you want we can extend the duration of the tour with 1 hour and you can have also some free time to go through the Old town and explore it on your own.
Mandraki Harbour
Mandraki port is situated in the new part of the town where you will see some very impressive monumental buildings built by the Italians. Here at the harbour entrance is believed that once stood the great statue of the Colossus of Rhodes - one of the seven wonders of the Ancient World. We will stop for pictures of the area.

5.00I always say that on cruise stops, it is much better to take a private (or small group) tour rather than one of the large coach tours offered by the cruise line. A private tour offers flexibility as well as a chance to talk to your guide, ask questions and get to know them a bit. And you will never be stuck on a bus waiting for those last two stragglers to finally show up. Don't worry about missing your "all-aboard" time. Your guide is a professional and will know that his reputation depends on getting you back to your ship on time. Our tour with Nicholas (or Nikos) from Rhodes Greece Tours is a good example. He met us at the port with a very comfortable van. Our first stop was at Mandraki Port, the ancient port that was once the site of the Colossus of Rhodes. Next up were St. Stephens Hill, Acropolis of Rhodes with its ancient stadium, followed by a drive to Lindos. Since Nikos was in a van, not a coach, he was able to drop us right there in town. Another advantage of a private tour is getting into places where a bus cannot fit. After this, he gave us a choice of places for lunch. As Nikos told us, he is a driver, not a guide, so he could not accompany us into the archaeological sites. But even still, to call him "only a driver" does him a disservice. He is a native-born and proud Rhodian, and he is very knowledgeable. He told us all about these places while we were on the road. But even still, as Nikos himself said, sometimes it also is nice simply to back and enjoy the scenery without a guide continuously droning on and on. If you are looking for a good tour of Rhodes from someone who truly knows and loves the island, then Nikos (Nicholas) from Rhodes Greece Tours is your man.
Wonderful island tour

5.00We had a great time on this tour. Our guide picked us up at our hotel and took us first to Rhodes, giving us a brief history of the sites. We drove to many different spots on the island, including a potter's studio but the best was Lindos.
Perfect day in Rhodes

5.00This way was a great way to experience Rhodes. Our guide George was extremely insightful to the history of the island and the people. We were able to get away from the tourists and saw the heart of Rhodes. We were able to stop in several small, family businesses. With it being a private tour, it was very intimate and geared towards our requests. Without having a large bus, we were able to get at the base of the Lindos, without the long walk from the bus parking. And the lunch recommendation was amazing and become our favorite meals of our trip. We loved learning about the history, in a relaxed, setting as we saw the island. George was great, took pictures for us, spoke English very well, and a great driver. Highly recommend!!!
Truly the tour to pick, especially if you are a cruiser.

5.00Favorite part was that we got to see all over the island. Lindos was beautiful, and restaurant on beach was amazing (near port). Nikos was the perfect guide, and paid attention to every detail. In afternoon, we could see smoke from the wildfires, but did not affect our tour
Amazing way to see Rhodes!

5.00Amazing! Nikos was our driver. He met us at the port in a clearly marked vehicle which was clean and very comfortable (and air conditioned!). This tour was the best day of our Greece trip! He took us to places that we never would have found on our own. We saw the main sights briefly and then told him we wanted to see his favorite things on the island so that's what we did. We added on the 2 hours for beach time and it was so worth it. The tour was worth every penny!!
