Great tour of Rhodes for a short cruise stay

Brian_F, Sep 2025
A perfect way to see historically significant sites near the cruise port in Rhodes for a short visit. Our guide, Nikol, met us promptly as we exited the ships gangway and after a brief introduction, walked us out into Rhodes explaining the historic significance of this island and its place among the many island groups of Greece. We were shown and she explained MANY interesting and important sites and facts during this walking tour. We learned so much about the history of Rhodes, not only the Jewish quarter but its significance in Europe and Asia and Greece’s overall history. The tour was at a comfortable pace, we weren’t rushed and she personalized it for the places and things we wanted to learn about. The tour lasted almost 4 hours and it was a great way to see this fascinating city, compared to the many tourists on their own and others we saw in LARGE groups with headphones. Also, Nikol is an excellent photographer and took many great pictures of us along the way. We would highly recommend this tour for visitors to Rhodes.

Wonderful Old City Tour in Rhodes!

Brett_H, May 2025
Our private tour of Rhodes Old Town, was a truly memorable experience. Our guide was kind, engaging, and deeply knowledgeable about the rich history of Rhodes. She tailored the tour to our interests, allowing us to explore not only the main highlights but also some hidden corners off the beaten path. We never felt rushed and appreciated the relaxed pace that let us fully take in the atmosphere of the Old Town. The Palace of the Grand Master was one of our favorite sites on the island, and learning about its significance through our guide’s insights made it even more impactful. This tour gave us a much deeper appreciation for Rhodes and its history. Highly recommended!

JENNIE_W, Aug 2023
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.

Great historical tour

Malcolm_M, Jun 2023
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.

Response from Host, Jun 2023

Hello dear Malcolm, many thanks for your review, we're happy you enjoyed your day with us and our knowledgable guide :)

Well worth it!

Alan_M, Jun 2023

Great tour - Nikos is the best

Alan_W, Sep 2022
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

Response from Host, Sep 2022

Hello dear Alan, How lovely to receive your great feedback for our Jewish quarter and heritage tour in the Medieval Town of Rhodes. Nikos is one of our best licensed guides! We hope to welcome you back in the future. Kind regards, Triantafyllos Psaras
