Didn’t like being on a bus. lindos was disappointing. I would not recommend it.
Not worth a private tour either. Should have done a sailing instead
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your feedback. We're sorry to hear that the experience didn't meet your expectations, but we do feel it's important to clarify a few points regarding your booking.
Our Lindos Easy Morning transfer is clearly described as a shared coach service, not a private tour, and this is reflected in the price as well. Pickup details were communicated and confirmed by you in advance, and we waited for you outside the cruise port despite your late arrival, while all other guests were already at the pickup point ready to go. We understand that Lindos may not be everyone's preference, but it is one of the most historic and cherished destinations in the Dodecanese, and we believe the time we provided there is fair and well-spent.
That said, we do feel that a 2-star rating is unfair in this instance, as it appears to stem from disappointment about booking the wrong type of tour rather than any failure in the service we actually delivered. We always strive to offer clear and honest descriptions of our services, and we kindly ask guests to review what they are booking to ensure it aligns with their expectations. We appreciate your thoughts and wish you more suitable experiences in your future travels.

Pick up was very prompt. Good driving. Be warned this tour may be more than 4 hours!! I don't think you need 4 hours in Lindos.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your 4-star review and for your kind words about our prompt pickup and safe driving. We truly appreciate your feedback regarding the tour duration. As mentioned in the tour description, the 4 hours in Lindos are designed to give guests ample time to explore at their own pace, though we understand that the overall trip feels longer due to the 1–1.5 hour travel time each way. We will make sure to highlight this more clearly in future communications to better set expectations.
We're glad you enjoyed the experience overall, and we hope the beauty of Lindos made the journey worthwhile. We would love to welcome you on another tour in the future.
VIVIENNE_B, Jul 2026
Picked up from bus stop at end of hotel drive . Clear and concise instructions given including street map pictures of pick up point . Nicholas was an excellent driver and stopped off for photo on route. Went on a Sunday which was ideal as no cruise ships in . Did not climb to top of Acropolis as too hot but got close - wandering around streets of Lindos was very enjoyable . 4 hours was about right amount of time and would recommend this tour.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you for your lovely feedback. We're so glad that your experience was enjoyable and that all the little details came together to make your day run smoothly.
A special thank you for mentioning Nicholas—he truly cares about providing a great experience, and we'll be sure to pass along your kind words to him. We hope to see you again on another tour soon.

No guide but well worth the visit to Lindos. We had time for a swim at Pink Beach and enjoyed exploring the beautiful city.

Animesh_D, Jul 2026
Great day trip to Lindos. The transfer was comfortable, well organized, and on time. We had a flight later the same evening, so it was very important that we returned to Rhodes Old City by around 4:00 PM, and everything went exactly as planned. The 4 hours in Lindos was enough to visit the Acropolis, enjoy the views, walk through the village, and have lunch. Excellent value and highly recommended.
Response from Host, Jul 2026
Thank you so much for your kind 5-star review. We're delighted that your day trip to Lindos was such a success, especially with your evening flight in mind. It means a great deal to us that you felt the transfer was seamless and dependable—ensuring our guests return with plenty of time to spare is always a top priority. We're also pleased that the itinerary allowed you to make the most of your time in Lindos while still feeling relaxed and unhurried.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you back to Rhodes in the future.

Our coach driver (I think his name was Nikolas) was absolutely fantastic! On time, polite and gave us helpful information on where to go to get into the Main Square of Lindos. Kept us laughing on the journey! His coach was absolutely spotless and there was the added benefit that his music playlist was amazing. Highly recommend!

Nicos the driver was wonderful. 4 hours free time in Lindos is time well spent. Wear your swim outfit and go to one of the beaches into the Aegean sea. The beaches are rocky so wearing aqua shoes may make the experience more pleasant. Afterwards, wander through the streets of Lindos and take in the sights and sounds. The main square is very busy with the taxis and buses.
Sunscreen and a hat are a must.
The views are astounding from every angle and you can get breathtaking pictures.
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your fantastic 5-star review and for sharing such helpful tips for fellow travelers.
We're so glad Nicos made your journey wonderful—he'll be delighted to hear it. It's great that you enjoyed the 4 hours in Lindos and made the most of the beaches, views, and atmosphere.
We truly appreciate your recommendation and hope to welcome you on another trip soon.

Angelica_C, May 2026
Being somewhat mobility challenged i was disappointed when i found there was no easy way to the acropolis. Please divulge this in your description. That was why we went and got to spend the time shopping! Very disappointing
Response from Host, May 2026
Thank you for your feedback.
We are sorry to hear that your experience in Lindos did not meet your expectations. However, we would like to clarify that this product is an “Easy Morning Transfer to Lindos & 4 Hours Free Time” and not a guided Acropolis tour.
In our tour description, the Acropolis of Lindos is mentioned only as one of the optional attractions guests may choose to visit during their free time in Lindos, alongside the beach, shops, restaurants, and village itself. At no point do we state that access to the Acropolis is included, guided, or easily accessible for all mobility levels.
Additionally, our description clearly states that guests should have a moderate physical condition. As with any destination visit, we encourage travelers to review the location beforehand to ensure it is suitable for their personal mobility needs and expectations. Had we been informed in advance about any mobility concerns, we would have gladly provided further advice, as we regularly do for other guests.
We always strive to provide accurate and transparent information about our services, and for this reason we feel that a 3-star rating is unfair, as the experience delivered was exactly as described with no false promises made.
We nevertheless appreciate your feedback and thank you for traveling with us.
Maree_B, May 2026

The bus was on time, clean and nice. The driver explained everything important for us. 4 hours are enough to go to the acropolis of Lindos and to see the beautiful village. On the way back we stopped at the viewpoint

We truly appreciate you choosing us and taking the time to share your feedback. It would be a pleasure to welcome you on board again during your future travels in Rhodes!

Great value transfer to Lindos. Small group minibus. George our driver was very friendly and gave lots of facts on the way to Lindos. He also recommended we visited the Acropolis first which was a fantastic tip as when we left there was a very long queue for entrance tickets.
We had a very enjoyable trip.

Sharon_P, Apr 2026
Pick up instructions perfect👌
Driver Nick very informative, punctual & humerous.
Need EUR .05 for public toilets.
Not suitable for those with mobility issues, although buggy transfers available to get you up & down the hill. Streets narrow with many steps too.
T-Veg an absolute must even if you aren’t vegan/vegetarian/gluten free:)
Well worth the visit.
Response from Host, Apr 2026
Thank you so much for this thoughtful 5-star review!
We're delighted to hear that everything went smoothly, from the pick-up instructions to Nick's punctual, informative, and humorous service. Great tip about the €0.50 for public toilets, and your note about mobility challenges is very helpful for future guests.

It's basically just a bus transfer to the town, appart from the fact that the driver talks about what you can see on the way. It was good, the driver was aperson who loves their job, and loves their life.
