Rhodes Day Tour - Our party of 4 adults had an wonderful time on our day with Vasil on Rhodes. We didn't book the tour until the evening before our ship arrived and it still came together with good communication. Vasil was a perfect host with a good game plan to see the entire island but also adapt for what ever we preferred to do. He was very knowledgeable about the history of the island, what locations we would enjoy seeing and was fun to spend the day with. Would highly recommend and feel the tour was a great value for the cost too.

Interesting sites, great views and superb food. - We had a lovely day touring beautiful Rhodes. Our driver and guide, George, was personable, knowledgeable and passionate about his country and its history. He kept us entertained and informed whilst also driving confidently and expertly. We visited various historical sites, walked a Nature Trail, explored Lindos and stopped at a small seaside restaurant where the views were only surpassed by the incredible food. We had the best kalamari and dolmades of our lives. The time flew by!

Great time touring with Mike! - Mike showed us an amazing time in Rhodes! He is an expert on the city and we loved every moment ! We really loved the sea side lunch restaurant, beautiful old town, the olive oil farm, pottery factory, Lindos and all the beaches and stunning photo spots. Great value and so much better than a large group tour.

Surprise of our trip - We were extremely surprised at the beauty and historical significance of this island. None of the reading materials prepared us for the impression the island made. The tour was wonderful in introducing us to the character of the island and it's culture. Our guide, Vasili, was knowledgeable and helpful in every way.

Day tour of Rhodes with Mike was unforgettable - Mike was great!! He was knowledgeable about local history, had a great sense of humor, and had great stories about Rhodes. His English was also wonderful 😊 He showed us many famous landmarks, ancient ruins, and told stories and history of Rhodes (both ancient & early 20th century). A pleasure to tour Rhodes with Mike ☺️

George is awesome! We loved Rhodes. - George was an incredible driver and guide. We saw so much of Rhodes in our 6 hour tour! We loved Rhodes Town, visiting a beautiful pottery store, stopping for scenic pictures all over the place, exploring Lindos and the Acropolis. It was a magical and memorable day. By far our favorite excursion out of many we've done on our 10 day cruise. George is the best! Book the trip. You will not regret it. And lunch on the beachfront in Haraki was the icing on the cake.

A Perfect Day! - This was an outstanding way to explore the beauties of Rhodes. Our guide, Vasils, was prompt, communicative, knowledgeable, and quickly felt as though he was one of our friends by the time our day was over.
We were allowed to customize our trip details and even make last minute changes as the day unfollowed. He took us to places on Rhodes we could not have imagined missing after getting he chance to see them. Thanks to Vasilis, many of us have already spoken about making a return visit to Rhodes someday.

Disappointed - The tour was advertised as a private tour with guide. There was no your guide and the driver said to us he wasn’t a tour guide only a driver. Not much information was shared.
The tour outlined a focus on archeology and history, Reason why we booked the tour.
We were dropped off at the side of the road at an archeology site and said we would be picked up at the bottom with no direction as to what to look for in this site. No overview of this site at all before we got out of the vehicle.
We were basically left on our own to figure out how to get down to the bottom.
It indicated that we would be going to the port of MANDRAKI and I don’t even know if we got there. We did go to a lookout spot.
We were also supposed to visit traditional villages and beaches. I cannot recall doing any of this.
We were dropped off at old town to visit on our own and had no idea where to go and what to do. For almost $1100. We really only got a driver and not a tour. The driver actually told me that he was a driver and not a tour guide.
From reading it again , we were supposed to definitely have a private tour and not a private driver.
This company had 7 reviews, but they were all five star. Hence, this is why we took the tour. I do believe the write up has to give them a one out of five
I do feel that we should at least contact Viator.
Hope this helps with contacting Viator and writing up the review
