    Enjoyable time in Rhodes and Lyndos

    Ana_H, Oct 2024
    The Acropolis, the medieval city and the views. The time in Lyndos was a bit short so it felt rushed. Long drive, but it was worth it. The stroll through the medieval city was great. Both guides, Leonora and Alexi were very knowledgeable and helpful, but a bit disjointed in their explanations. Glad to have been there and enjoyed the tour.

    Response from Host, Oct 2024

    Thank you for your kind words about our tour and guides. We’re sorry the Lindos portion felt rushed. Unfortunately, we are bound by the schedule limitations set by the cruise ships visiting the island, which requires us to closely manage our timing. If you’d like to spend more time in Lindos, we highly recommend returning by air and staying for more than just a day. Rhodes is one of the largest and most beautiful Greek islands, with so much more to offer its visitors. Safe travels!

    Lovely Day

    Star_J, Jul 2024
    Lovely root guide. You all should add lote refreshments to the tour. If not, water should definitely be provided.

    Didn't enjoy

    OpheliaMiranda_S, Jul 2024
    First, we had to walk all over the port looking for this tour because there was no company sign. There were a dozen buses and vans parked and had to ask/check them one by one. Found the driver, not the guide. Then the guide had the nerve to say "don't worry, we found you". Seriously? Sounds like it was her first tour (I'm not saying it is). It was annoying how she says a word or a sentence followed by (literally) hehehe. We enjoyed the swim at the beach,. tho

    Response from Host, Jul 2024

    We regret to hear about your disappointment, but let me address the concerns raised: 1. To avoid confusion, we highly recommend referring to the detailed pickup information communicated to you 3 days before the tour start time. 2. According to our policy, we could have left the port just 5 minutes after the pickup time window, and your payment would not have been refunded. Searching for you in the port was a gesture of goodwill; next time, we might reconsider. 3. Mary's first tour was 18 years ago, and now she is among the top 10 certified guides in Rhodes. 4. We apologize if she didn't use that word in the way you're accustomed to hearing it. We are glad it made you laugh. Mary speaks 5 languages. May I ask, how many languages do you know? 5. The beach was the only thing you enjoyed in Rhodes? That says a lot. Safe travels!

    Enjoyable day!

    Kelly_C, Jun 2024
    Tour was exactly as described. Well organized and the bus was clean and cool. Nicole, our guide, was extremely educated about the area and entertaining. Had a wonderful time!

    Nice tour

    Darrick_U, Jun 2024
    The tour guide was very friendly and knowledgeable, and very accommodating to questions. With so many cruise ships in port at once all of the markets were overly crowded, especially in Lindos, and add the heat and it could make for a very challenging day to keep comfortable. However the bus had great AC! The wine tasting experience was at a beautiful quaint cafe and was pleasurable.

    Going Goat

    Alvin_H, Apr 2024
    My favorite part was bus having to stop for a goat shepherd on a motorbike moving a larger herd to a different pasture.

    Response from Host, Apr 2024

    It sounds like you had a unique and memorable experience witnessing the interaction between traditional pastoral life and modern transportation! It is a very Hellenic moment! It’s really fascinating to see such moments where different worlds intersect, especially in a setting that many of us might not encounter daily. The image of a goat shepherd navigating a herd with the aid of a motorbike, causing a bus to pause its journey, paints a vivid picture of the adaptability and continuity of rural practices in contemporary times. That's one of the reasons why so many people from all around the globe visit Greece each year. Thank you for sharing this highlight from your experience; it’s truly a reminder of the diverse and unexpected encounters that enrich our travels and perspectives.

    Sad to miss Rhodes

    Megan_L, Dec 2023
    We were sadly not able to disembark our cruise ship in Rhodes due to weather keeping us from docking. But when I talked with the tour operator they totally understood and refunded our money. We look forward to going back to Rhodes one day and taking the tour!

    Response from Host, Dec 2023

    We regret that the unfavorable weather conditions hindered your disembarkation in Rhodes. We hope that you will have another chance to visit Rhodes and experience our tour in the future. Your positive feedback means a lot to us. It not only encourages us but also assures fellow cruisers that a full refund is guaranteed if the ship is unable to dock in Rhodes. Wishing you safe and pleasant travels!

    Rhodes Experience

    Pam_S, Oct 2023
    Nicole, our guide, was amazing!! She was so kind to us when my husband experienced some motion sickness from the bus ride. She was very knowledgeable of the history of Rhodes.

    Response from Host, Oct 2023

    Dear Pam, thank you so much for taking the time to leave us a 5-star review! We are delighted to hear that you had an enjoyable experience with Nicole as your guide. Her kindness and expertise are among the many qualities that we value in our team. We hope your husband is feeling better now and we're grateful for your understanding.

    Worthwhile tour! Recommended!

    Great day. Joanna awesome guide. Really worthwhile day trip. Lunch was ordinary. The climb to Lindos acropolis wasn't too taxing.

    Response from Host, Oct 2023

    Thank you for the 5-star review! We're delighted you had a fantastic day trip with our guide Ioanna. We're glad to hear the climb to Lindos Acropolis was enjoyable for you. We look forward to welcoming you back soon!

    Bad service, Missed our excursion due to terrible phone communication between me and the tour guide. Tried to call and they didn't answer the phone. When I called Viator they would not refund or credit my account. There were no visual signs so we could find them on the port. We were at the port location my ticket had designated and on time. Next time I won't this touring service. I plan to go back to the same area next year.

    Response from Host, Oct 2023

    Usually 1-star reviews originate not from tour participants but rather from those who did not partake in the experience. Ms. Elaine Rogers and her travel companion, the only couple missing from the NCL Gem tour visiting Rhodes on October 10, 2023, raised concerns that I'd like to address. 1) Phone Communication: direct phone communication with our tour guides is not available, but an emergency phone number is prominently featured on your tour ticket, it was utilized by you 23 minutes after your group had left the cruise port. Unfortunately, at that point that we were unable to return for such a late pickup. 2) Refund Request: Viator repeatedly denied your refund request because it was established that you did not arrive for the tour on time. Viator would not deny it without substantial evidence supporting this fact. 3) Pick Up Location/Sign: Contrary to the concerns raised, the pick-up location was clearly specified in the provided information. A large, easily visible signs were placed exactly where promised – on the windshields of our buses, which were parked right next to the NCL Gem exit gate. This arrangement allowed the other 107 participants to locate their buses without any difficulties. 4)Responsibility: In future endeavors to the same area or in any travel plans, I would advise being punctual and ensuring that you disembark on time. If a mistake is made, it is more constructive to accept responsibility and learn from it rather than laying blame on others. Such an approach will not only enhance your future travels but also prove beneficial in life in general. It is our sincere hope that these points help clarify the situation and alleviate any misunderstandings. We always aim to provide the best possible experience for our guests and continually strive to improve our services. Best regards from sunny Greece!

    Good tour covering a lot of ground. Guide was great and cared for us.

    Jeanette_S, Oct 2023
    Beautiful scenery; good shopping; nice wine experience to end the day; lots of history. should have studied. Saw why my husband loved the island.

    Response from Host, Oct 2023

    Thank you for your kind words! We're delighted to hear you enjoyed the beautiful scenery, shopping, wine experience, and rich history of the island. It's never too late to learn and appreciate the things your husband loves:-) Best regards from sunny Rhodes!!

    Magnificent day trip.

    Eamonn_C, Sep 2023
    The most amazing part of the tour was without doubt the visit to Lindos Acropolis. The historical importance of this place along with the amazing views are well worth the trek up. Rhodes old Town is so very well preserved and really takes you back in time. Our tour guide was so very friendly and full of knowledge about the history of Rhodes. Our driver was very polite and friendly and took great care of the group throughout the day.

    Response from Host, Oct 2023

    Thank you for your glowing feedback. We're delighted you enjoyed the visit to Lindos Acropolis and Rhodes Old Town, along with our knowledgeable tour guide and friendly driver. We look forward to welcoming you back in the future!

    This tour cones with my highest endorsement

    Mary_J, Aug 2023
    In our family vacation to Rhodes this past August, the three of us—two grown-ups and our adolescent—had a fantastic experience, thanks in large part to our incredible guide, Joanna. She was not only well-informed and articulate in English, but her sense of humor and laid-back attitude also made the journey truly enjoyable. What really made her stand out was her adaptability to our interests. The quality of her guidance was simply unparalleled. Keeping a teen interested can be a challenge, yet Joanna managed to engage our daughter fully, ensuring she too walked away enriched from the experience. On the practical side, the Mercedes Benz mini-bus was top-of-the-line, complete with efficient air conditioning. Nickolas, our driver, was amicable and went out of his way to make us comfortable. If you're considering a visit to Rhodes, this tour comes with my highest endorsement.

    Response from Host, Aug 2023

    Thank you for your 5-starfeedback. We're thrilled to hear that Joanna & Nickolas, helped make your family vacation to Rhodes a memorable experience. We pride ourselves on adaptability and quality, so it's great to know we met your expectations. We appreciate your high endorsement and look forward to serving you again in the future!

    Our best tour in Greece

    John_N, Aug 2023
    We got easy-to-follow pickup details by email and WhatsApp a few days before our tour. This made planning super easy. On the tour day, everything went just like they said it would. We were picked up right by our cruise ship on time. Our guide, Angeliki, really knew a lot about Rhodes and was very excited to share it with us. We first went to Lindos, a cute Greek village with an Acropolis on a hill. The view was amazing! Even if going to the Acropolis is optional, you should totally do it; the climb isn't that hard and it's worth it. After that, we had some free time. We tried local beers at a rooftop place with a great view, while our friends who love shopping checked out the village. Next, we drove 10 minutes to see a pottery show and taste some olive oil and honey. It lasted about an hour and was both fun and informative. A local family made all the products, and they were top-notch. We ended the tour by walking through Rhodes' old city. Here, we learned about its history, tried some wine at a really old place, and had more free time to shop and look around. The whole tour took about 7 hours. The first 15 minutes were for picking up other people. Our driver, Nikos, was really good at his job and made sure we felt safe. The bus was clean and had good air conditioning. To sum it up, this tour was a great way to make the most of our short time in Rhodes. We got to see and do a lot. Big thanks to Angeliki and Nikos for making the tour so great for us.

    Response from Host, Aug 2023

    Thank you for your positive feedback. We're thrilled to hear that our planning and communication made your experience easy and enjoyable. It's fantastic that Aggeliki and Nikos added so much to your tour and that you loved your time in Lindos and Rhodes' old city. We appreciate your high recommendation and are pleased that you had a great time exploring, tasting, and learning. Thanks for choosing our tour, and we hope to see you again soon.

    Diana our fantastic tour guide had time to take us to Lindos, Antony Quinn Bay in Ladiko and walked us through The Grand Masters Palace / Old City Rodos.

    Response from Host, Jul 2023

    Thank you for your positive review. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed your tour with Diana and appreciated the visit to Lindos, Antony Quinn Bay, and the Grand Masters Palace in Old City Rodos. We hope to serve you again soon!

    Buen tour, aunque Lindos es un enorme centro comercial.

    Santiago_M, Jul 2023
    Es un buen tour, aunque la guía podría haber acompañado más al grupo en Lindos. En medio de la aglomeración de turistas es difícil saber algo acerca de dónde está uno parado sin tener una guía.

    Response from Host, Jul 2023

    Agradecemos su valiosa retroalimentación sobre nuestro tour. Entendemos su preocupación y queremos aclarar que el papel de la guía en este caso era específicamente ayudar a aquellos participantes que querían subir a la Acrópolis de Lindos. Para aquellos que no deseaban subir, se les ofreció tiempo libre en el Pueblo de Lindos. Comprendemos que la aglomeración de turistas puede dificultar la orientación en lugares nuevos, por lo que valoramos su sugerencia y la tomaremos en cuenta para futuras ocasiones. Nuestro objetivo siempre es brindar una experiencia óptima y educativa para todos los participantes del tour. Gracias por tomarse el tiempo para compartir su experiencia. Saludos cordiales,
