The tour was a west-east off-road jeep tour of north Rhodes... Our guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic, but difficult to understand. We saw a lot... but most of the tour was just driving through lots of forest, mountains and low level farming areas, with little opportunity to see the things we wanted to see, despite us being the only passengers... We did get to see some archaelogical sites, but little opportunity to stop for breaks... We are very fit early 70's, but our guide seemed intent on completing the tour without any breaks - refreshment, toilet or otherwise - before finishing with what was a lovely meal break, but only after a continuous of-road drive from 0900-1530 with only a break at Elias Profilas that we insisted on... It is an expensive trip which is not good value for what you see of the island in terms of variety. This tour must be better structured in future... There needs to be more breaks, and earlier lunch break with the rest of the tour resumed afterwards...Our guide dictated what we saw so we dont know what other sites of interest - like churches, mosques and other heritage buildings we could and should have seen based on what we said we wanted to see..
6 hours of just off-road through woods, forest and mountains and nothing else is not what most customers would want...
