The Very Best of Rhodes

Wonderful day touring Rhodes with Dimitrius. He was insightful & personable. The highlight was the place he took us for lunch. Anthony Quinn’s Bay - the food was excellent with beach club vibes. Will def use him again when we return.

My teenage daughter and I thoroughly enjoyed our day with Mike. He is very knowledgeable, funny, intuitive, and the master of his field. He was born and raised in the Old Town of Rhodes, and described her and the rest of the sites we saw with great reverence and respect. We could not help but feel the same way about Rhodes as he helped us see this beautiful island through his eyes. We were exhausted from back-to-back days of tours of ruins and islands before we arrived in Rhodes, so Mike sorted out an itinerary that helped us learn about the the city, the island, its history, and people without walking for hours on our already abused feet and legs! He was so flexible with the itinerary and we were very grateful. We made several stops of must-see scapes for photo ops. By showing us these scapes and describing the places across the water in all directions, we were able to understand why Rhodes was such a desirable place for invaders for two millennia. While we did not climb the 285 steps to the top of Lindos, we do feel like we learned a lot about it and its surrounds. The Anthony Quinn Bay stop was an interesting interlude. I will let him tell you all about it. Mike took us to a beautiful place in the woods at Seven Springs for lunch. The service was wonderful and the menu was full of local foods. I would highly recommend taking Mike's suggestions about where to eat and where to shop - especially if your teenage daughter is with you! In all, I would say Mike is tied with other our favorite guide (from our trip in Egypt). The moment you meet him you will feel comfortable, safe, and on a private journey. Thanks, Mike! We hope our paths cross again!

Our tour started at 9am and Mike met us at our hotel right on time and picked us up in a nice and clean Mercedes. We visited all of the locations listed on the tour and more with Mike! My favourite part was when Mike stopped on the side of the road and we picked some oranges from a tree and each ate 2-3 of them each! They were delicious! Mike was well versed in the history of Rhodes and told us all about the ancient philosophers, warriors, leaders, and politicians whose statues and areas of birth we passed. Anytime we had a question Mike was easily able to answer! Mike took us to a great ceramic pottery store owned by Yanni who hand crafts everything for sale. They were beautiful and we bought a wine jug and some serving cups. Mike also took us to an affordable taverna with great food near the 7 springs, as well as Lindos, Anthony Quinn Bay, Kalithea, the Rhodes acropolis, Rhodes medieval city, and other places. Our tour was scheduled until 3pm but our activities and lunch extended the day until 5pm. Mike adjusted the tour according to our interests, goals, and things we had already seen. It was an excellent way to view the island. We learned a ton, enjoyed ourselves, and had an all-around great day! He was a patient, knowledgeable and kind tour guide. Highly recommend.
