Top Rhodes Day Trips - page 2

Good experience with an entertaining guide. The official meet-up details (time, location, bus #, etc.) were confirmed the day before by email and WhatsApp, and we were told to book our Acropolis of Lindos tickets on the official online website. We were picked up right at the cruise port in a coach bus with all the other buses for the official cruise excursions. Our first stop was the pottery and olive oil demonstration, which was about halfway towards Lindos. Our guide explained the local history and culture along the way while also pointing out various places and answering all questions. The pottery/olive oil stop wasn't too long, provided a short shopping opportunity, and a bathroom break. The scenery towards Lindos was gorgeous. Once in Lindos, our guide brought us to the main square, gave directions and explained when and how to return to the bus at the specific time. We were unlucky because it started to downpour for 40 minutes as soon as we arrived; the narrow streets became like mini rivers and our guide strongly recommended against going up to the Acropolis in these conditions and then disappeared. I ended up going up on my own once the sun came out, but I didn't get the expected guided tour and was rushing to make it back to the bus on time. No one else on our tour went up, and I don't know if the operator refunded them for having pre-purchased tickets to the Acropolis. Guided or not, the visit up to the Acropolis of Lindos is a must, and the walk up was way easier than I expected. Rain couldn't have been predicted either, since it was literally only raining in Lindos while Rhodes was dry. We stopped for a short photo stop over Lindos and then continued back to Rhodes. We got a short, guided walking tour of Rhodes with earpieces and then were given the option to explore on our own or go to a wine tasting, and then grab the bus back at a dedicated time or walk back to the cruise ship on our own (only 10 minutes away). The guided walking tour was ok, but was mainly just a short walk towards the wine tasting location with a bit of commentary. Overall, 4.5 stars. Definitely a great way to get to Lindos in a short time with a good cultural lesson.

Tour bus was at the port as soon as we walked off the ship. Stopped along the way to Lindos for ceramic-making and olive oil tasting (with opportunity to buy, of course). Lindos - have an option to EITHER shop or climb the Acropolis with the guide. We opted to pay the extra $20 EURO to go with the guide to the top. So glad we did! Breathtaking and she explained so much to us. We did note that shopping in Lindos is more expensive than the shopping in Rhodes. From Lindos returned to the bus to go to Rhodes for the walking tour. Learned so much with our guide. (Worth noting - There was no time to do the optional Grand Master's Palace Tour afterward.) After the walking tour, there was a wine tasting. We skipped that and then did OUR shopping. AMAZING shopping. Lots of leather. We bought jackets, purses, belts and we noted the prices were much cheaper than Lindos. From the walled city of Rhodes, we walked ten minutes back to the ship. The bus would have dropped you off if you did the wine tasting and didn't want to shop or walk back on your own. Our guide was terrific.

Great experience. Tour guide Antonis was super knowledgeable and lots of fun. Showed up on time. Good communication. No issues with tour being safe. Would recommend and would do again if we are ever in the area again! Thanks Antonis and Dimitris for giving us a great experience while in Rhodes!

This exceed my expectations in every way. 100% worth every penny. My friends and I had an exceptional time. Make sure you get there at least a half hour early to secure the “good seats”. That made all the difference for us! Food was amazing and the swimming spots were awesome. The music was INCREDIBLE! Perfect vibes. Highly highly recommended. Got back right on time at 3:45 which was a big plus as we were on a cruise ship. Theodore was super nice.

This boat got us there in about 1hr and 10 min. We diembarked at 1223. It was super rough so be ready. I get motion sickness but knew I needed to watch the horizon no matter where I sat. Even sitting on the end doesn't help. The staff and company was very nice and looked after those that got sick. We walked around Symi for 3hrs... got back to the location at 320...which meant we missed our ride back. My husband swore up and down they said 1530. 😫 The shopping, food and atmosphere were great. The best!! We got back to the ship where it was docked when we got here, and it was already gone. Apparently 3hrs means 2hrs 45 min. We called the Rhodes Sealine and unfortunately their 1515 boat was canceled due to weather. We walked about 1.5 miles up the port and paid €36 for a ferry ride back to Rhodes (on Blue Star Ferries) Not a bad adventure and made for an amazing trip! So be on time... they will leave you. This was completely on us. We missed the St. George Bay swim. No biggie... Rhodes has some amazing water and beaches, as well as other excursions.

It's a small boat which makes it a nice and relaxing experience. Staff on board are very friendly and nice. The 3 stops were lovely and didn't stay for more than 40 min each which was perfect as our 9 Yr old couldn't handle swimming for too long. Fruit medley was delicious! Drinks were limited in variety but good. We had a brilliant time.

A traffic day on the water! It was a perfect day on the water. We were only in Rhodes for a day on our cruise and decided this would be the perfect way to experience the island. Many of the day cruise options only had 2 stops but this rip was 4 and they were all beautiful. We had plenty of time to swim and explore the small cave areas at each stop. the water was crystal clear. We enjoyed the lunch and fresh fruit. It was a truly beautiful and relaxing day. I traveled with my two 18 year olds and they loved it !

The whole day was seem-less, from collection to drop-off. When I booked I failed to notice that there were different prices depending on where you are on the island, so I paid the difference at the office when collecting the tickets. The communication was excellent and pick up in an air-conditioned mini-bus was on time. We had to wait to depart port, which may have been for an airport transfer / goods, but it was ok. The boat was equipped with a bar and toilets with seating on deck offering some shade. Below deck are more comfortable seats with air-conditioning available. The journey was quick and smooth and we arrived with plenty of time to enjoy a wander round the harbour, take in the sites, shopping, lunch & ice-cream. We were on the island for around 4 hrs in total before setting off back to Rhodes (this time opting for some air-conditioning below deck). Symi is a must to visit, amazing houses with some useful info provided by the staff in the form of a leaflet explaining a little about Symi. On arrival back in Rhodes and travelled back to Lindos. Overall it was around 11hrs, a long day but very worthwhile and I would totally recommend using this company again.
