Traveler Reviews

Very professional company, owner Nicholas was helpful and responsive, and our driver-guide was very refined, warm, friendly, and highly knowledgeable. We had the best day trip on Rhodes...this tour was truly a cut above! Lunch was the high point!!!

Very enlightening tour of Rhodes with Andrew as our guide. He was very knowledgeable about Rhodes and answered all our questions happily. He also accommodated a small change to stop at kalithea springs which was just beautiful. We would definitely recommend.

Nicholas A Rhodes was our tour operator who met us at port and introduced us to our driver and guide, MIchael. Michael made all aspects of our tour enjoyable and educational. He could not have been more accommodating. Towards the end of our tour Nicholas Rhodes called to make sure all was going well and that we were satisfied. We highly recommend MIchael as a guide and driver.

We had a great day and it was way better then one of the bus excursions from the ship. More personal and our driver could go where the buses couldn’t!

My husband and I travelled with our two granddaughters, 14 and 16, to Rhodes by cruise ship. Our Rhodes tour guide Michael and another gentleman, I believe the owner met us promptly on the dock to start our tour. They seemed genuinely glad to see us. The 5-hour tour of the island was spectacular. Michael knew the best places to go and was very knowledgeable. We were able to structure the tour to our liking so the girls were able to swim at Anthony Quinn Bay. We stopped at a lovely restaurant on another bay that Michael suggested and we had a wonderful meal and another swim. Thank you Michael and Rhodes Tours for an unforgettable experience.
