The ideal tour to make the most of your time in Rhodes/Lindos

5.00Communication leading up to our tour was great and all my questions were answered promptly. Our driver and guide Stavros was waiting in a comfortable air conditioned mercedes sedan as we walked off our cruise ship. We discussed our options for sightseeing for the day. Initially, we thought seeing Rhodes and attempting to climb the Lindos Acropolis was not feasible in one day. But Stavros, assured us it was possible and Lindos and the Acropolis was not to be missed. First, we were driven around the beautiful sights of Rhodes old town where Stavros gave us concise pertinent historical background to the buildings and sites. We then headed to Lindos and climbed the Acropolis! A highlight of our day! After, we headed back to Rhodes and toured some beach communities and ended the day being dropped off in Rhodes old town. We toured the castle and surrounding shops and had a wonderful early dinner at a rooftop restaurant. The Rhodes tour with Stavros was jam packed but we saw it all!
The perfect day in Rhodes!

5.00Rhodes was an absolute surprise for us and we are so glad we booked this tour to see as much of the island as possible! Our guide Kostas was incredible and it's obvious he loves the island of Rhodes. He's a professor too, so his knowledge was truly unparalleled! We got to see so many sites that we wouldn't have seen if we had taken a cruise ship excursion. Anthony Quinn Bay is absolutely stunning! We so enjoyed our free time and lunch in beautiful Lindos. And then we made a stop at a pottery shop that was absolutely incredible where we saw the artists working the clay and painting some pieces. The whole experience was incredible! Kostas even stopped for us at his favorite stand so that I could buy some olive oil, olives and thyme honey. Armed with our pottery pieces, our delicacies and amazing memories of the day, we got dropped off at the Medieval Village to explore before going back on the ship. We are already talking about how we must come back to beautiful Rhodes for a real vacation because we fell in love with the island!

5.00Michael, our tour guide and driver, gave us a luxurious tour of the beautiful island. We like to take pictures, and he knew all the best spots, and stopped and gave us plenty of time to enjoy the views. We had a wonderful day with him.

5.00We spent a full day in Rhodes seeing all the highlights on our cruise stop, and our driver indulged us with a quick swim at the beach. The water was warm and calm. It was a great experience. You need more time to fully enjoy Rhodes, at least 2-3 days. There is so much to see and do. This private half-day tour does allow you to take in all the highlights. Our driver was hospitable and made sure we were able to take in as many sites as we could within the time frame. We loved the fact that the tour was very flexible and we could tailor it to some of the destinations we wanted to see. A visit to the Lindos Acropolis requires a very early start to avoid the crowds, heat, and to get the most out of this experience. There is so much to explore in the area. Wear comfortable walking shoes. It's a steep hill. We decided to end our tour in Old Town, where we could explore at our own pace and do some shopping before returning to the cruise ship. It was a fun-filled day in Rhodes.
