Outstanding day trip to Rhodes with Mike - Mike’s ‘Very best of Rhodes’ tour provided the perfect solution for our day trip from Athens, turning what could have been a logistical challenge into an unforgettable experience. He picked us up directly from Rhodes airport and, over the next seven hours, curated an immersive journey that covered the island's most iconic sights. From the stunning whitewashed village of Lindos and the fascinating maze of the Old Town to the beautiful harbors and sweeping coastal beaches, we felt we got a complete and authentic taste of Rhodes in a single, well-organized day.
What truly set this tour apart was Mike's depth of knowledge and engaging personality. As we traveled from the east to the west and north to south of the island, he wove a rich tapestry of history, mythology, and local lore that kept us captivated. Our stops felt thoughtfully chosen, including a fascinating visit to a local ceramic artist's studio to see the craft in action and a breathtaking viewpoint at the cross on Filerimos mountain with peacocks dancing all around us. Mike understood we were on a tight schedule and tailored the pace perfectly, ensuring we saw everything on our list without ever feeling rushed.
In the end, Mike dropped us back at the airport with plenty of time to catch our evening flight to Athens. We couldn't believe how much we had experienced in just one day. For anyone considering a whirlwind visit to Rhodes, whether on a cruise or a day trip from the capital, I cannot recommend Mike highly enough. He is knowledgeable, personable, and an expert at maximizing your time while making you feel like a welcomed guest rather than just a tourist.

A great overview of Rhodes. - We were very pleased with our guide, Mike. He provided a helpful overview of the geography, culture and history of Rhodes. In addition to tours of the old town and new town of Rhodes and London, we stopped along the back roads to see, smell or taste wild spices and fruit. We especially recommend visiting enchanting London.

Great day touring Rhodes - From our cruise ship, my spouse and I had a wonderful tour with Mike. He was a wealth of knowledge about Rhodes. He did such a good job that we can't wait to come back and stay on Rhodes. It has so many gorgeous areas. And, the homemade Moussaka at the lunch restaurant was fantastic. Highly recommend.

When In Rhodes… - Good value for money. Our guide George gave us a thorough and comprehensive tour of Rhodes and we saw much of the island. We loved the old Medieval town and history. It was fascinating. We were able to customize our tour which allowed us some flexibility and we really enjoyed the sites we visited. Our highlights were a delicious seafood lunch by the sea at Haraki Bay Hotel and Anthony Quinn Bay. Our guide George was friendly, patient, offered suggestions and easy to talk to. He wanted to give us the best experience and he helped us plan our itinerary to maximize our time. He was the best!! We all really thought George was great!! We highly recommend this tour…When in Rhodes.

Vassilis is the best guide for Rhodes. - Wow 🤩
What a wonderful introduction to Rhodes. Our guide Vassilis was exceptional. Five stars 🌟
As a small group of 4 we were able to see places not accessible to large groups and coaches.
The colours of the Mediterranean ranged from azure, cerulean, turquoise to tanzanite blue.
Lindos lived up to its name ❤️ and our delicious seafood lunch at a smaller village- Haraki Bay was both personable and secluded. We even tried an amazing Greek White wine of the varietal grape of Malagousia which we had never heard of. Definitely recommend it 👍
Traditional ceramics were also displayed.
Rhodes, we will return and Vassilis you will definitely be our guide!
Thank you 🤩

Son's Birthday trip - Mike made this trip truly special. My son's birthday was celebrated even though a medical emergency did not permit him to join the trip. Mike suggested we get a cake, and do a video call to wish him a Happy Birthday! I was truly touched by the level of care and meticulous planing on his part. We just showed up and he took us to see some amazing sites and enjoyed great food. Mike, you will always hold a special place in our hearts, Thank you!🙏

Mike made Rhodes island a memorable day! - Mike shared relevant history, culture, and architecture with our group throughout our day. He was in no rush with our group and made us feel relaxed and enjoy everything. We stopped in the old town, stopped at wonderful picturesque locations, ceramic shop (5 minutes), Lindos for shopping and Acropolis, and a relaxing lunch at a luxury hotel on the beach.
