Wow! What a great day! - We had a wonderful time with our guide Nikos in Rhodes! We had no idea what a lovely island with such great people it was. We have had many great days, but this was probably the best! Nikos was so warm and friendly and tailored our tour to our group! Besides the normal ancient sites (which were amazing with Nikos’ insights) we were able to go to a little out of town pottery shop and watch the owner make a beautiful vase! The shop was full of beautiful works of art all made on site! We finished with a fantastic Greek meal - best food ever! Would highly recommend!! A day to remember! ❤️

Fantastic, comfortable half-day tour - Excellent half-day trip. Rosa took us to Lindos first, before it got too crowded. We arrived at about 10am and headed straight to the Acropolis.
