We had a great time. Our driver Anastasios was great and took us all around to the best places. Such beautiful views and beaches. Slightly disappointing I thought we would have a reserved space on the beach. Instead we were dropped off at a public beach where either we paid could pay for beach chairs. Instead we went to a restaurant that served drinks and chairs were free. Overall a great day
Response from Host, Oct 2025
Thank you very much for your kind words and for sharing your experience! We’re so glad you had a great day exploring Rhodes with Anastasios and enjoyed the beautiful views and beaches.
Regarding the beach stop, our tours include free time at one of the island’s lovely public beaches where guests can choose between renting sunbeds or enjoying a spot at a seaside restaurant or café. We truly appreciate your feedback, as it helps us make sure all details are always clear.
It was a pleasure having you with us, and we hope to welcome you again on your next visit to Rhodes!

Anastasios was amazing he started us with water and a local energy bar snack then off to Anthony Quinn beach and Lindos. He was so accommodating for our needs and we saw everything we wanted. He sent us back to the old city to a great spot Taverna and we had a traditional Gyro lunch and wine. Very fun, we highly recommend his company! Clean and air conditioned van as well!

Our tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable - making our trip fun and informative. We visited the main sites and beaches and then had some relaxing time at our own leisure at one of the beaches. At the end of the tour were tdropped off at the old town where we were able to do sone shopping.

Great experience with driver very fun and great at communicating about the island and history. Beach was really nice and the cabana and food was very reasonable!
LeiAnnandMark_W, Jul 2025
We had the best day in Rhodes thanks to our guide. He showed us around the town including some of his favorite views. He also prebooked our family at a beach club and made sure we got the best sunbeds all together. When you live 14 hours away while trying to plan a vacation, we really appreciated the help. He went above and beyond to ensure our family had the best vacation in Rhodes.

Private beach is far left entrance , there are places to rent sunbed & shade umbrella for about 30 euro per person. Farm market at bus stop is customer friendly.

We booked this tour for our group of 10 (yep, full-on family takeover) and it was hands-down one of the best days of our trip! Our guide was a total gem—fun, upbeat, and somehow managed to keep everyone from ages 16 to 76 fully engaged. That alone deserves a medal.
We explored the beautiful island, soaked in the history, and then topped it off with some serious beach time—crystal-clear water, cold drinks, and happy kids = total win. The pace was perfect, the stories were fascinating (with just the right amount of humor), and it all felt super personal and relaxed.
If you’re heading to Rhodes and want a stress-free, memory-making day, this is the way to do it. Our whole crew is still talking about it!
Lindsay_B, Jun 2025
Our family of 10 (yes, 10!) had the best day exploring Rhodes, and it’s all thanks to our incredible tour guide. We booked two cars due to the size of our group. From the moment we met, they made us feel like VIPs—funny, knowledgeable, and somehow kept us all entertained and on schedule (miracle status, really).
We saw stunning historical sights, learned just enough history to sound smart at dinner, and wrapped it all up with a relaxing beach break that felt like a dream. The kids had a blast, the adults actually relaxed, and no one wanted the day to end.
Highly recommend this tour if you’re looking for the perfect mix of culture, laughs, and beach vibes in Rhodes. 10/10—would follow this guide anywhere (especially if there’s an beautiful beach bar involved).
Kevin_W, Jun 2025
Had a great experience with Michael. Very prompt and friendly. He gave us a great history of Rhodes and found us a great beach to enjoy.

We were able to see some of the highlights of the island, take pics and then relax for a couple of hours on the beach where we rented an umbrella and chaise lounges. Our guide was great!
Response from Host, Jun 2025
Thank you so much for your kind words! We’re glad you enjoyed seeing the highlights of the island and had time to relax at the beach as well — sounds like the perfect day! It’s wonderful to hear that your guide made the experience even better. We hope to have the pleasure of showing you more of Rhodes in the future! 🌞📸🏖️

This was an excellent way to spend a short (cruise ship) visit to Rhodes. Michael, our driver, has been doing this for 29 years, and was able to explain the history of the island and the sights we were seeing, along with some interesting local stories and flair. We also got to relax at a beautiful beach for a couple of hours. I highly recommend this tour for your visit to Rhodes.
Response from Host, Jun 2025

Thank you for the recommendation, and we hope to welcome you again in the future! 🚐📚🌊

Private tour around the highlights of Rhodes was absolutely amazing and the island is truely beautiful. We were shown some main highlights before heading to the beach for a few hours and we honestly felt this private tour gave us a keen spirit to come back to Rhodes again in future.
There is so much to do in Rhodes, it truely is a picturesque island. This trip is exactly what we wanted on our quick port stop on our cruise.
Caren_C, Jul 2024
Perfect day with our guide
We had so much fun and learned about the history of Rhodes
Swam at two beautiful spots and enjoyed the town
Leslie_H, Jul 2024
Giannis was a great tour guide! Rhodes has a lot to offer and the beach set up was amazing. We felt 100 percent taken care of on this trip. I would highly recommend!
Karen_M, Feb 2024
We had a great time on this trip, our driver and guide was amazing. My husband was having knee issues so he always told us how long a walk would be and if we didn’t want to go he took us another way so we could get closer and from different angles. He stopped and we met his father on an overlook then he took us to a great beach, where my husband sat and I went swimming. We had a light lunch on the beach where we sat on padded lounge chairs. The beach was pristine. A very relaxing day with great sites and great information. I wish he could have been our guide on other trips
fbailey1, Sep 2023
This tour was not worth almost $300. The 4 of us were picked up in a small 5 seater car which we could deal with if the guide had been better. The guide really did not tell us anything about the area. He was going to charge an additional $200 to take us to Lindos. We thought we had him for a certain period of time and he would take us where we wanted to go. We also thought we would visit different beaches since the name of the tour is “The Beat of Rhodes - Private Beach Excusion” but we only got to go to one beach. Everytime we asked a question his response was “Don’t worry be happy”. I guess that was his was if saying “I don’t want to answer that question”. I’m sure he is a very nice person but this may not be his right profession. We could have just gotten a taxi for a lot less money.

Our driver was extremely accommodating and seemed to really enjoy what he did. There was never any pressure or feelings of being rushed. He took his time to explain all stops and answer all questions.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
It's wonderful to hear that you had such a positive experience with your driver!

Jeff_H, Jun 2023
Our tour guide/driver was friendly and informative. He gave a great experience we could not have easily provided for ourselves. We saw almost all of the landmarks advertised We would definitely recommend this tour and this driver. Our only regrets are there was not more time and that we left behind a photo book that he offered to us of the sites (there was a change of car when he left us at the beach club). We were sad not to have that book now!
Response from Host, Jun 2023

This was a wonderful excursion! Our guide was very knowledgable and pleasant. We explored several locations and learned a lot about the beautiful and historic area before spending time at a fabulous beach club. It was really an excellent day. Couldn’t recommend it enough!
