An Engaging Walk through Time - Nick was extremely knowledgeable and engaging. He answered all my sons' questions and really brought history alive for us. He tailored the morning to our interests and needs. It was a wonderful tour and we are grateful to leave Rhodes understanding a bit more about its history and how it developed over the years.

A good tour guide of Rhodes and It's Jewish Community - She is a wonderful tour guide. She informed us about many aspects of Rhodes which I found very interesting. I wanted to know as much as possible about the old city since my grandparents were born and lived there until moving to the US in the early 1920s. Our tour was made more cumbersome since grandchildren would have rather been at the pool at our hotel. Our guide was very patient. Overall, a wonderful experience.

Rhodes - The Jewish Aspect - We were a small group of four on this private tour with Nikos. He's a terrific guide and an archeologist as well. Nikos is very knowledgeable about the history of Rhodes and its Jewish community. We learned about the impact of the Shoah on the community and visited the synagogue and saw where the community had lived. We also visited the Grand Master's Palace which is an eclectic rebuilt palace with amazing artifacts brought there from neighboring islands. I highly recommend this tour and Nikos.

Great tour - Nikos is the best - My wife’s family was originally from Rhodes and we wanted a very specific tour of the old city and especially the Jewish quarters. Our guide Nikos was outstanding, his knowledge of the Jewish community as well as the community at large really brings you thru the centuries as he tells the tales of Rhodes - I highly recommend him and this tour- thank you Nikos

Great historical tour - Great to walk the ancient street and gain an insight to the history of the venues we visited. Jewish museum was a bit underwhelming. Enjoyed the archaeological museum more. Almost received too much information about the whole history of the Greeks and Rhodes in particular from our knowledgeable guide.
