Viator sold an excursion knowing that Lindos was almost completely shut down as it is the off season. only a few shops and no restaurants were open. Paid extra for time for lunch but there was no where to eat. Viator would not issue any refunds. Tour guide should have also known about the situation when he dropped us off in a closed town Very disappointing.
Response from Host, Mar 2026
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback.
I’m truly sorry that your experience did not fully meet your expectations. Lindos is a historic village that remains open year-round, including its streets, viewpoints and the Acropolis. However, as with many traditional destinations during the off-season, individual shop and restaurant opening hours may vary and are independently operated.
The tour itself was delivered as described, and guests had full access to explore the village and its main attractions. While some establishments were not operating at that specific time, the destination was accessible and dining options were available in Rhodes Town before and after the visit.
I understand that you were hoping for more open restaurants in Lindos specifically, and I appreciate you highlighting this. Your feedback is valuable and we will ensure future guests are clearly informed about seasonal variations in local business hours.
Thank you again for visiting Rhodes.

Dimitris is a tremendous guide with a wealth of information, current and historical. He took us to numerous sites and vistas and was extremely flexible about stops. He was able to fill the tour despite my husband's recent injury which limited the distance he could walk.

Our driver Anastasios was exceptional. His knowledge of historical and current Greece was highly informative. He tailored the day to our private requirements and was most helpful in sourcing an excellent dinner venue for later that evening

Tasos our guide did an excellent job. Knowledgeable about the local area as he is a native. Gave us time to explore the area and customized the tour for our family of four. Would recommend if visiting the area.

Being on the island of Rhodes was amazing. Our driver and guide, Panos, was fantastic (and funny). He provided history but also his personal insights.
Seeing where St Paul preached was amazing and climbing the acropolis was sweaty but so worth it. The very best part was having lunch in a small town that Panos recommended. It was right on a small beach that wasn’t crowded at all. He let us know traditional food that he would recommend we try. The symi shrimp was so good that we had to order a second plate (thanks to our teen son)! Also, 2 of us have Celiac Disease and had to eat gluten free. The restaurant knew all about Celiac and could alter just about anything for us.
Panos also asked if we would want to stop at an olive oil business and he let us know in advance he was friends of the family. I was impressed with that. Of course I had to stop and next thing you know, I’m tasting amazing olive oils and had a case (or 2 possibly) shipped home. We also stopped at a pottery shop by Giannis and had a fun time looking at everything he had made.
Panos always asked if we wanted to stop or not. That was great for the 4 of us (husband and 2 teen sons)
Would highly recommend this tour and Panos.
Response from Host, Jul 2023
It sounds like you had an incredible experience on the island of Rhodes! Panos seems like a fantastic driver and guide, with his extensive knowledge and personal insights. It's always great to have someone who can provide historical context while also adding their own unique touch of humor to the tour.
And I'm glad to hear that the lunch spot turned out to be such a gem. Enjoying traditional food while overlooking a quiet beach sounds like a true delight.
Stopping at the olive oil business must have been a treat, especially knowing that Panos had a personal connection with the family. Tasting the different olive oils and deciding to have some shipped home shows just how special the experience was for you.
And exploring the pottery shop by Giannis sounds like a fun and unique way to immerse yourselves in the local culture and support local artisans.
Based on your enthusiastic recommendation, it seems like this tour and Panos are definitely worth considering for anyone visiting Rhodes. Thank you for sharing your wonderful experience!
