Visit to Rhodes and Lindos from cruise ship

We had a wonderful day on Rhodes island. We were picked up at the cruise port in a very comfortable vehicle. Our guide, Aga, was very informative and provided us with lots of information on the history of the island and current life on the island. We started from the cruise port and made a photo stop at Rhodes old town. After several stops at different viewpoints we visited the Rhodes acropolis and then drove to Lindos. We stopped for refreshments and took lively photos of Lindos and the Lindos acropolis. The visit to Savvas pottery was also very informative and pleasant. The return trip to Rhodes along the coast was very interesting. We could see all the developments and tourist places. Our guide knew where to take us to miss the crowds. The tour ended in Rhodes old town where we had free time. We left the island feeling that we made the best of a one day visit. All thanks to our informative guide.

An Unforgettable Private Tour of Rhodes with Nicholas

We had an absolutely fabulous private driving tour of Rhodes yesterday, and I can’t recommend it highly enough. Our guide, Nikolas, is a lifelong local — born and raised on Rhodes — and it showed. His knowledge of the island was incredible, and he had endless stories and information to share about the history, culture, and hidden corners of the island. We accidentally went to the wrong meeting point at the start, but Ellie was super responsive and helpful, and Nikolas came to pick us up within five minutes of us reaching out. It set the tone for a day where nothing was a problem. Since we were staying a bit further out, we adjusted the itinerary slightly to fit in a few extra sights, and Nikolas was completely flexible about it. The real highlight was when he ended up driving us through his own village — completely off the planned itinerary — because we kept asking questions about it. We got to see some incredible UNESCO sites tucked away there that we never would have found on our own. This was such a personal, authentic experience rather than a typical tour. Nikolas clearly loves sharing his island with visitors, and it made all the difference. We’d do this again in a heartbeat and would recommend this company to absolutely anyone visiting Rhodes.

Operator response

Thank you for the fantastic 5-star review! We are delighted that you enjoyed our 'Best of Rhodes and Lindos' private tour. Our team prides itself on flexibility and quick communication, so we are glad Ellie and Nicholas could seamlessly adjust the day to your needs—from the meeting point mix-up to customizing your itinerary. Thank you for highly recommending us to fellow travelers. We hope to see you again in Rhodes in the future! Best regards Team of Rhodes Greece Tours

Book this tour!!!!!

Nikolas was a phenomenal guide!! Can’t say enough great things about the day… We accidentally met at the wrong meeting point & Ellie kindly coordinated with Nikolas to pick us up at the alternative location within 5 minutes. We had a fabulous day exploring the best of Rhodes. It was even better that we personalized the tour a bit as we were staying in Lindos so rather than including it on our tour, we added a few additional spots such as butterfly valley - amazing suggestions from Ellie and wonderfully executed by Nickolas. I would highly recommend this tour for anything you’d like to see in Rhodes. We can’t wait to come back! Thank you Nikolas and Ellie for a fantastic day on the beautiful and historic island of Rhodes

Operator response

Wow, what a fantastic review! We are so grateful for your high recommendation and the enthusiastic "Book this tour!!!!!" headline. It is wonderful to hear that the Valley of the Butterflies hit the mark. We love personalizing our tours to fit our guests' exact needs, and we are thrilled that Nicholas executed the day so perfectly for you. Thank you for sharing your experience, and we truly cannot wait to welcome you back to beautiful Rhodes! Team of Rhodes Greece Tours

This tour was well worth taking, a great experience!

This tour more than met our expectations. Our tour guide, Mr. Aga was excellent. The tour took us from the city of Rhodes through the town of Old of Rhodes to Lindos and back to our cruise ship. Mr. Aga’s knowledge of the whole area was impressive. He also knew the cultural history, historical history and the sites to take us to. We saw the exact point where the Mediterranean Sea meets the Aegean from a high hill at the top of Rhodes. It was an incredible site to see. I am mobility impaired, and Mr. Aga took this into consideration at every every site we stopped at. He was very aware of this and made accommodations for me. He stopped for lunch at a place that was not a tourist area. The food was excellent. The prices were reasonable. We would highly recommend this tour as there is no way we could’ve seen all the things we were able to see on our own in the time allotted by our cruise stop.

Operator response

We greatly appreciate you sharing such a thoughtful and detailed review of your time with us! It is incredibly rewarding to hear that Mr. Aga took such great care of you, ensuring the tour was fully accessible, comfortable, and packed with incredible sights. We take great pride in providing personalized, stress-free experiences for our cruise guests, and we are delighted that the local lunch spot made your day perfect. Thank you for highly recommending our service, and we hope to welcome you back to Rhodes in the future! Team of Rhodes Greece Tours
