Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes Tours and Tickets

Booking this way avoided the queues. Brilliant. To be honest the grand palace is a bit of a non event. Considering the history of the place the information available was sparse and what there was was boring. A fantastic building that needs to be brought to life by decent info.

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.

It is unusual for Greek monuments to have no guidance apart from short description at each item you might see. Tour guides are expensive because it involves a real person, probably retired guide with local knowledge, which is fine if you can make group of 4+ ($30 pp or about) but if you cannot make numbers-you are stuck. We purchased this audio self-guide in advance as carefully and with great detail explained on Tripadvisor website. It was easy to download (I am just a user and was able to do it with nobody assistance) . It is true that download have to be stored in your mobile. Explanations were detailed, in clear well-educated English, we had no headphones and we just adjusted sound on our units. We enjoyed explanations very much at the great envy of other visitors: I was at least stopped and asked twice by others (some in the group left to wonder alone) and I told them what we did prior our visit-I think this product deserve a little free marketing. This is probably the best attraction related to Rhodes: there are many aquaparks, sandy beaches and sports attractions, but there is only one Grand Master Palace of Rhodes, well preserved with some awesome features: historical, architectural and beautiful in its own right. I was left wondering why nobody approached Cleo Muse and commissioned this product: its sensibly priced and well designed. I really do hope that attraction next door-archaeological Museum - Hospital of St John Order could be included, some interesting items I would like to hear more about.
