Top Rhodes Day Trips

The Captain was fun and kept the energy going with his dancing and Playlist. The crew was nice and cooked delicious food. My friends and I had a blast on this boat and met other ppl that were on our Virgin Voyages cruise. I highly recommend. It was just enough time at each stop.

Nicholas Z. was an amazing guide. Really made us feel like family. Picked us up right by our ship and immediately started showing us all the best highlights of the island. We loved everything. He customized it to what we were interested in and made sure to show us all the hidden gems. Took pictures of us at all the beautiful locations and took us to a fantastic little sea side restaurant. It was our favorite tour of our entire 2 week vacation. We loved it so much, we are considering going back to Rhodes for another vacation. Thank you Nicholas Z!

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.
