Rhodes is amazing

Neil W, 26-11-2022

You always hear about Rhodes, but until you see how magnificent this place is, you don't realise what a destination it really is.

Our private tour of Rhodes was for two couples and we covered a lot of ground in a short time. Our driver/guide Emanuel was fabulous and showed us all the key sights in and around Rhodes city and then to the little village of Lindos. He ensured we had plenty of free time and offered, on our request, side trips to fabulous local stops like a traditional ceramic shop which we enjoyed immensely.

Emanuel provided us with loads of information about the amazing history of the island and because we were there in the off season, we had the advantages of nice weather and little to no traffic.

Highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting Rhodes on a tight schedule. The company Rhodes Private Tours were very professional in all their communication with us. Thanks too to Nicholas for your attention to detail and for promptly answering all our questions and for your follow up on our arrival and throughout the day.

A very professional tour company who ensured we had a great day on this very interesting island.

Great tour

It is the Best of Rhodes!!

A wonderful day on the island of Rhodes with someone who can certainly be considered a wonderful Greek driver and guide, Stamos! Shortly after he picked us up by the cruise ship we were on, Stamos drove us to all the spots on the itinerary. He selected lunch at the picturesque Argo restaurant where we were able to pick out our choice of the "catch of the day." As fresh as it gets and truly delicious.

Stamos planned stops along the way where we learned how ceramics were made and sampled wines and olive oils made at a local estate.

We caught some time at the beach and dipped our toes in the Mediterranean.

Thank you to Best of Rhodes Island for a wonderful experience!

I and my boyfriend had this trip around Rhodes. It was an amazing experience. The trip is very specially designed for the pace you would like to and planned fabulously. The sites in Rhodes are very beautiful and interesting from its historical heritage. We had the best driver ever - Kostas. He not just carefully drove us but also was a very interesting person to chat with. The safety of this trip was on the top level. The person who was my contact person gave a call before and after the trip to make sure that we are alright. That was very nice:) This trip left us with a very pleasant and heartwarming experience that we would definitely repeat again on the next possible occasion.

Great overview of Rodos

kellysO2015IG, 22-10-2022

There are many interesting and stunningly beautiful places to see on this tour. The coastline and beach areas made me want to come back and stay there.
The sedan was comfortable but a little crowded for four adults. The only place that we could have skipped was Lindo - the traffic getting in and out, along with the crowd made it not worth stopping at.
