Itinerary
The Inner Courtyard: It is hard to believe that this magnificent courtyard once hosted the horse stables and the kitchen. Let’s travel back in time to know the Knights Hospitallers secured their residence and why the statues of Roman senators adorn the location. Have a closer look at the contemporary restoration and discover what went wrong. The Room with the Ribbed Vault: Decorated with an early mosaic pavement decorated with birds, trees and vases originated from Kos and equipped with 16th-century furniture, the room used to be the office of Cesare Maria De Vecchi. De Vecchi was the one who conceived the program of restoration of the glory of the Knights Hospitallers. This humble room became the siege of the powerful De Vecchi. Listen to our stories in order to learn how the architect Vittorio Mesturino restored the grandeur of the Palace and the fame of the knights. The Room with the Nine Muses: The most beautiful room of the Palace which is decorated with the nine muses.

Presentation of the experience unclear and containing untruthful information. The purchase of this audio tour is useless

Informative but not a great presentation. I do enjoy a good audio tour and listen to them quite often when I travel. This was a little dry. Not sure I would embark upon this production company again.
Hello, and thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear that the audio guide did not meet your expectations. It was carefully created by professional curators to provide an engaging and informative experience throughout the visit. We truly appreciate your comments and will use them to improve our service for future visitors. If you have any suggestions, we'd love to hear them. Warm regards, Claire
I purchased the tickets online and they didn’t work for what I bought them for Do not buy from here. Scam
Hello, and thank you for your feedback. We are sorry to hear about your experience. We were unable to locate a reservation under the name used for this review, so we are unable to verify the details of your booking. Based on the situation you described, it appears that you may have presented the Viator voucher instead of the actual entry tickets. As clearly stated in our email instructions, the Viator voucher is not a valid entry ticket for admission. After your booking was confirmed, an email was sent with detailed instructions on how to download both your entry tickets and self-guided audio tour. Following these instructions ensures that you receive the correct tickets before your visit. Thank you for your understanding. Warm regards, Claire
It was good, but one piece of information did not correspond to the truth. Entrance tickets cost €20.00 and not as indicated on the website, €8.00.
Salve e grazie per il suo feedback. Potrebbe indicarci dove ha trovato l'informazione secondo cui il biglietto d'ingresso costa €20,00? Il prodotto che ha acquistato è un'audioguida per il Palazzo del Gran Maestro al prezzo di €11,99. La preghiamo di notare che il biglietto d'ingresso non è incluso in questo acquisto. Grazie per la comprensione. Cordiali saluti, Claire
A useful guide & easy to download for use as you move around. Just be sure this is guide only not entrance. After tour I discovered a second exhibition on Ancient Rhodes opposite cafe but only open 2 days weekly & a stone hall in garden with more details of the knights. Neither were advertised any where which I think l is missing a good selling point for the castle

Do not take this service, the ticket is not included and the audio guide is free with the museum entrance ticket which is 20 euros
Bonjour, et merci pour votre commentaire. Le produit que vous avez sélectionné comprend uniquement un audioguide. Nos audioguides sont conçus par des spécialistes pour enrichir votre visite. Veuillez noter que nous proposons également un produit distinct incluant les billets d'entrée et un audioguide, qui pourrait mieux répondre à vos besoins. Merci de votre compréhension. Cordialement, Claire
An extensive, interesting collection. This dealt with various themes from antiquity to the present grandmaster. There were staff in all areas. A disadvantage was that there was no handrail along the stairs.
Hallo 😊 Bedankt voor je feedback. Fijn dat je de collectie interessant vond. Was betreft de trappen, dat valt onder het beheer van het museum en ligt buiten onze controle. We waarderen je reactie 🌷 Vriendelijke groeten, Jo
This is a con it leaves you to believe admission is included, so I was turned away and had to pay again, this is misssold and useless, and I was refused a refund, total waste of money as all your descriptions are already at the palace.
Hello 😊 Thank you for your feedback. We checked your booking and can confirm you selected the audio guide only option, which does not include admission. This is clearly stated in the product description before purchase. We’re sorry for the misunderstanding 🌷 Best regards, Jo
On TripAdvisor we bought 2 tickets to the Grand Masters Palace which were not accepted at Welcoming, it's theft
Bonjour 👋 Nous sommes désolés pour cette situation 🙏 Nous n’avons trouvé aucun email de votre part dans notre système. Merci de nous contacter avec les détails de votre réservation afin que nous puissions vérifier et procéder à un remboursement si nécessaire. Cordialement, Jo
