Beautiful Rhodes
688lyndap, 13-09-2022
From the moment we were picked up by Mick and Andrew until the tour ended we were given first class treatment and they both were very informative about the places we visited. I would highly recommend a tour with them
Super fun guide

I booked a tour for 17 people for the Old City and Lindos. Jacob was a courteous, friendly and safe driver. Kosta was lots of fun and made our day memorable. He kept us engaged on the drive to/from Lindos. The individual audio system is really great and many of us appreciated being able to wander a bit in the Old City without missing any of Kosta's commentary. I enjoyed Kosta so much I've booked him for a return tour in Feb 2020.

One of the best tours I have taken

Took this tour while visiting Rhodes on a Celebrity cruise. Nicholas Rhodes was in close contact with our group via email before and after the trip. He even called to speak to the person coordinating the trip during the tour to confirm that the trip met our expectations. His personal attention to the details was appreciated.
We had Kostas as our guide and he was a treasure trove of knowledge about his beautiful island. He spoke clearly and they used high quality earphones so we could hear every word he spoke. The tour includes Lindos and the Medieval CIty and was a walking tour of those areas. It was 5 hours which was perfect for our needs.
The Mercedes Minibus was new and clean and the driver was professional and drove safely.
A top notch operator in every regard and we enjoyed every moment.
Would certainly use them again. Much better than Ship related tours and at a reasonable price.
Truly superlative tour, guide and company. Exceedingly well organized !

Nicholas and his company exemplify what everyone is looking for in a tour, Attention to detail before the tour, great assistance in organizing and finalizing the tour, details and costs ahead of time relayed to all participants. The tour itself delivers a full compliment of benefits from an extremely comfortable vehicle ,a tour guide-Kostas who is in one of the best I have ever come across, terrific headsets for each and every participants( a real plus) and an itinerary that covers a great swath of Rhodes in the time allotted. Without hesitation I would recommend this tour !
