If you want to tour Rhodes, book Mike for a memorable experience!
meredithjillbrown, 26-10-2022
We visited Rhodes for the first time and were especially excited as the Medieval city was on our list of sites to see. Mike is a fabulous tour guide. He drove us all over Rhodes, showing us the medieval city, the churches/cross with the gorgeous view of Rhodes, Lindos and the beautiful beaches. Mike is very knowledgeable as we drove through various sites and stopped to take photos throughout the day. It was so peacefully quiet in the early morning when we began our tour, it felt as if Rhodes was ours to explore without waiting.
Mike took us to a wonderful olive farm and shop where we sampled several oils and other treats.
Our lunch was at a local family-owned restaurant that overlooked a resort-town beach and calm waters. The Greek food was authentic and delicious!
We spent 2 1/2 weeks traveling to England, Scotland, Turkey and Greece. After our tour with Mike, it was clear that Rhodes was our favorite island in Greece.
Such a Brilliant Option if you’re short of time

We had a free day in Fethiye Turkey after being on a gulet for a week. We decided to take the ferry to Rhodes for just the day. We had planned to wander around for the day but at the last minute we booked a tour with Mike & I’m so happy we did
It was hot & even though our ferry was late Mike was there waiting in his beautiful Mercedes which provided us such a cool & comfortable ride the whole day
The tour was like a magic carpet ride
He stopped at a multitude of the best vantage points: the harbour, church, city beach, & the stunning Grand Palace of the knights of St John.
I had asked for an additional stop at the twice weekly local market & to my delight this was easily included
We drove to Lindos, viewed the Acropolis & stopped at all the best vantage points to take photos, which he offered at every place we went
Lunch in the beautiful seaside village of Haraki was delicious & surprisingly was a leisurely affair
In no time we were whisked back to the port in perfect time to take the ferry straight back to Fethiye again
A full on day which passed in what felt like minutes but we actually covered so much & never at any time felt rushed
Mike is a local & knows Rhodes like the back of his hand. I could not imagine you could see as much as we did without his expertise
Would book again in a heartbeat
Best taxi-driver/guide ever.

MICHAEL, is by far the bestl driver we ever had, he moved with his car through the small streets of Rhodes as if it was a bike.
We were on a cruise and had only a short stop in Rhodes; he showed us the beautiful coastline and told us the most interesting details of the isle, thus ensuring a wonderful, extremely-interesting time,
He is very kind and thoughtful. He offered me some flowers from a typical tree in Rhodes; they lasted for several days during our trip as a nice memory to the beauty of Greece.
