Traveler Reviews

From the very beginning to the final moments, the tour was professional and engaging. Mike was personable and answered all our questions graciously. Rhodes Leisure delivered the tour with a deep commitment to the beautiful surroundings that is Rhodes while weaving in the personal experience of life in Rhodes. You will not be disappointed booking with Rhodes Leisure!

Our guide Tassos was knowledgeable and engaging. He took us places on Rhodes that were appropriate for us. For example we visited the Kalithea cats as I am a retired veterinarian. We also stopped and had a taste of Suoma which is only found on Rhodes and one other island. Of course we also saw all the “Best of Rhodes “ highlights.

Enjoyed an authentic Greek meal we enjoyed greatly. We were disappointed our guide, while good, did not give us more information about Rhodes. He did answer our questions, however. He pretty much was just a driver rather than a true guide like we had on our next two ship excursions.

Very extensive tour. Driver was very accommodating, adjusting the itinerary as needed. Vehicle was very nice, new Mercedes.

We had a wonderful day with Mike and Panos as our guides on Rhodes. They showed us the very best of Rhodes and were very personable, helpful, informative and offered to make photos in all the best places. We visited the Old City of Rhodes, visited the site where the colosses once stood, a beautiful overlook where you could see the coast of Turkey, ancient ruins, Lindos, the beuatiful Bay of St. Paul and had o lovely lunch overlooking the water.
