Maria was an EXTREMELY knowledgeable guide! In addition, she was very flexible and accommodating for our group, which included people with limited mobility. She not only described all of the sites and history, but was sure to set our expectations at every step of the way to ensure we were ready for each stop. She was very caring, flexible, and wanted to ensure we had the very best tour possible. I HIGHLY RECOMMEND this company!

Excellent Tour with Amazing Tour Guide!

John was an amazing tour guide! We toured the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes and the museum, strolled the Street of Knights. It was amazing! We climbed to the top of the Acropolis of Lindos. The view was breathtaking and the Temple was amazing! Walking through the village of Lindos was very nice. The Filerimos Monastery was impressive. The views were amazing and I was surprised to see so many peacocks! John was so friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend this tour!

Perfect day tour of Rhodes

We booked this excursion shortly after arriving in Rhodes and Demetra Katsaounis was able to accommodate us given the short notice. This is our second time booking with Private Tours Greece and we are happy with their service and will continue to book private tours with them in future trips to Greece.

We booked this tour which was perfect for a family of 4 with 2 teenage boys. We were picked up at our hotel by George in a comfortable air conditioned mini van. George was friendly and knowledgeable. He also took great family pictures of the 4 of us at some key sites.

We started off the tour in the morning in Lindos which gets really hot later in the day, we then continued to Filerimos and ended the tour in old town Rhodes where we visited the renowned Knights’ castle.

We prefer private tours to avoid crowded buses and strict schedules and we don’t have the hassle of worrying about parking a rental car at busy sites. This tour was perfect for us and we recommend it to families visiting Rhodes who want to visit the most famous landmarks of the island.

Awesome day in Rhodes
