It was a hot day but our Guide was very caring & informative.
The climb to the Acropolis was exhausting but worth it.
The wine tasting in a shady restaurant was extremely welcome.
Response from Host, Nov 2023
Thank you for sharing your experience. We're delighted to hear that your guide provided excellent care and information during your visit. It's certainly a challenge to tackle the climb to the Acropolis, especially on a hot day, but we're glad you found the views and history rewarding. And what better way to conclude such an adventure than with a refreshing wine tasting in a comfortable, shaded restaurant. We hope the rest of your journey was just as memorable, and we look forward to possibly serving you on another tour in the future.

The tour guide was amazing on her knowledge of Greek Mythology , her enthusiasm was contagious and she was helpful and a fun person.
One small thing, some of us wanted more time in the old city - so perhaps add extra 30 minutes or so on the front end in order to allow some personal requests.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Thank you for your glowing review! We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed the tour and found our guide's knowledge and enthusiasm engaging. We appreciate your feedback regarding the duration of our visit to the old city. We will certainly consider adjusting the time for future tours, especially on days when we are not constrained by cruise ship departure schedules, as we were that day. Hope to serve you again soon!

Our Rhodes tour was enjoyable. We loved visiting Lindos, the honey and olive oil tasting. The ceramic demonstration was amazing.
Response from Host, Oct 2023

Knowledgeable and friendly guide. Two VERY distinct parts of the island we might otherwise not have experienced.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you for your kind feedback! We.re delighted to hear that you found the tour both informative and enjoyable. It's always our goal to introduce guests to the unique aspects of the island that they might not discover on their own. We look forward to hosting you again in the future!

We were provided with detailed instructions through email and whatsapp a couple days before our tour. The morning of, everything was exactly as described in the message, which made things very easy for us. We were picked up from the port directly next to our cruise ship.
Our tour guide, Joanna, was incredibly knowledgeable and passionate about Rhodes. We elected not to go up to the Acropolis of Lindos since it was too hot, but Joanna took the rest of the group and allowed us free time in the city.
The pottery demonstration, olive oil and honey tastings took about 45 minutes, and other groups were there doing the same thing.
We ended by taking a walk through the medieval city of Rhodes where we learned about the history of the city, had a wine tasting, and were given free time to shop.
The tour lasted from about 8:30am until 4:00pm with the first half hour being spent picking up other tour guests. There is a lot of time spent driving, as Lindos and the cruise port are far apart. Our driver (I don't remember his name) was awesome and our group felt safe with his driving.
Ultimately, this tour was a great way to spend the little time we had in port, and we feel that was very good at maximizing the Rhodes experience.
Another big thanks to Joanna for providing us such a wonderful and hospitable experience.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Dear Scott, Thank you for your detailed positive feedback. We're glad to hear that you had a wonderful experience on our tour and that our instructions made your journey smooth. As mentioned, we gathered other tour participants en route to Lindos to ensure we didn't waste any of the limited time you had ashore. Our drivers always prioritize safety, and it's great to hear that you felt comfortable during the drives. Ioanna is indeed a gem, and we're delighted that she made your trip memorable. We hope to welcome you on another tour in the future. Safe travels!
James_I, Aug 2023
This was an very average tour that we cannot recommend. There were some good moments but overall a solid “meh”
The pickup was timely and convenient however the instructions weren’t clear and we did a good bit of extra walking to find the cherry (red) minivan.
In was a holiday, so I suppose the that could have had an impact on traffic, however we were over an hour to get to Lindos.
This is a great destination however we only had a little over an hour to spend the explore the many shops and walk the 400 steps to the Acropolis there and return. It simply wasn’t enough time. Two hours+ travel for a one visit isn’t time effective.
By the way, the provided lunch was a cold sandwich, a banana. and a bottle water to find a place of your own to “enjoy”. There aren’t some great restaurants in Lindos. There just wasn’t time to eat there.
The pottery demonstration was fine but the typical opportunity to pitch a purchase. The honey tastings was a do-it-yourself affair that you could do anywhere else. It would have been better to have had more time in Lindos.
The medieval city of Rhodes was the better part of the excursion. This was informative and well presented. Facinating and we’ll preserved (restored).
The wine tasting at the end was just that. Three small samples of white, rose, and red wines. The wines were fine.
Overall, uninspiring and not recommended Our driver was very good and the guide was knowledgeable. The schedule was not well thought out and some stops just captive marketing.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. We often receive comments from customers who arrive on luxury cruise ships but opt for our budget shared tours. Many of these customers expect the services and experiences akin to luxury private tours and Michelin-starred restaurants. In essence, their expectations don't quite align with the simplicity of our offerings. Nonetheless, we choose to view a 3-star review from such discerning customers as equivalent to a 5-star review from the average traveller. 😊
Regarding the pick-up instructions, we strongly advise all our customers not just to look at them but to read them thoroughly. We copy them to your cell phones in case you have issues receiving instructions from Viator/Tripadvisor. The instructions clearly state that we will collect you RIGHT NEXT TO YOUR SHIP. This means you should not walk outside cruise port gate and call us from there asking: « Where are you??? We are at the rental car office!» Νο we won’t pick you up at rental car office, orthodox church Grand Master's Palace, etc, but directly beside your cruise ship. Our cherry-red Mercedes Benz minibus, sporting a large '242' sign on its windshield, is unmistakable. We intentionally chose this vibrant shade to ensure maximum visibility, even for the most discerning eyes!
Lindos is about 50 km from the port, and the standard transfer takes approximately an hour. In Lindos, we provide an hour of free time following the guided tour, which also lasts about an hour. This window usually offers ample opportunity for those who might prefer a local tavern meal over our sandwich offering.
While honey tasting can be experienced in various locations, including in your home country, the quality and flavour of honey can vary greatly. Rhodes is renowned for its honey, especially the one curated by the family of producers who presented it to you during the tour. We believe that the ingredients, and where they come from, play a significant role in the final taste.
We're glad the Medieval city met your expectations, and that you found the wines to your liking, the guide knowledgeable, and the driver competent. We hope you enjoy the rest of your cruise!

We enjoyed our trip in Rhodes. The acropolis was nice but a little strenuous in high heat. Loved the ceramics, olive oil tasting and wine tasting. Also enjoyed the free time shopping in old city.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you so much for taking the time to share your experience in Rhodes. It's great to hear that you enjoyed the richness of the island, including the historic Acropolis, even though the heat made it a bit challenging. Your appreciation for our local ceramics, olive oil, and wine tastings reflects the authentic culture we love to share with our guests. The time spent shopping in the old city certainly adds a unique charm to the trip. We hope to welcome you back soon for another delightful experience. Safe travels!
Dianna_A, Aug 2023
Although I expected the olive oil, wine, and honey to be a more prominent part of the tour, I enjoyed my visit of the island.
Response from Host, Aug 2023
Thank you for granting us a 5-star rating and taking the time to share your thoughts on your recent visit to our island! It's a pleasure to know that you enjoyed your experience. We regret if the olive oil, wine, and honey segments of the tour did not meet your expectations. Rest assured, your insightful feedback is invaluable to us, and we will certainly utilize it as we continuously refine and enhance our tours to align more closely with our guests' expectations. Warm regards from the sun-kissed shores of Rhodes!

Usually Viator tours are amazing but this one did not deliver. Lunch was a warm sandwhich, banana and warm water from under the bus as we got off to tour Lindos. Where am I supposed to eat this? While walking? We ended up throwing the sandwhiches away as they got so warm with the heat. A quick restaurant would have been great. The olive/honey tasting was 4 bowls of olive oil next to a cash register, same for honey. We couldn't even get to them. Maybe a separate table? Chairs? Explanations of the different oils? Very overadvertised. Wine tasting was 3 (white/rose/red) . Don't think this small restaurant was a correct venue for wine tasting. Maybe a winery if you're going to advertise a wine tasting? Or atleast someone with knowledge of wine? Sorry, all three were very low quality wines. We just felt that this was over-advertised and were also told we would have time in Rhodes for shopping before returning to the ship. We walked thru Rhodes with the guide and then taken to the bus. That's where we left the tour and decided to return to the ship on our own. I'm sorry to leave the review as we usually have great tours with Viator.

Thank you for sharing your feedback. Our staff records indicate that your dissatisfaction began during our initial meeting at the port that morning. You communicated to our guide your expectation of a private tour, rather than the shared one that was originally booked. This discrepancy seemed to trigger a series of subsequent complaints from your end. Unfortunately, your displeasure reached a point where even a group of fellow cruisers from the same ship felt compelled to address it. Despite your mention of booking numerous tours through Viator, there still seems to be confusion about the cost distinction between a high-end private tour and a standard shared tour. For clarification, a tour priced at 70 euros is unlikely to include a private experience, a restaurant meal, and a Michelin-grade wine tasting. We recommend that you thoroughly read the tour descriptions before finalizing your bookings. Our provision for lunch, for instance, is not a restaurant meal but a packed lunch: Greek sandwich and fruit. You had the opportunity to enjoy your provided sandwich at any number of the numerous street cafes or indoor establishments in Lindos, where an hour of free time was allotted. Your decision to throw away the sandwiches, sourced from one of Rhodes' premier bakeries – Karavolias bakery, can be seen as disrespectful to the hard-working local bakers and our team. This incident may prompt us to reevaluate the amenities included in our tours right after this tourist season. As for the bottled water, we purchased and provided it cold in the morning. If the temperature changed by midday, this is a natural occurrence. Bear in mind that ice-cold water is readily available along all the tour route for a minimal additional expense. A purchase as nominal as 50 euro cents should not strain the budget of such discerning travellers. There were not four but six samples each of olive oil and honey, some of the best products this island has to offer. We regret that you missed the explanation provided by the owner, as you chose to visit a neighboring store during that time. In relation to the wine tasting venue, while it may seem small by American standards, a 360-seat establishment is considered mid-sized in Europe. Its quality is validated by a host of positive reviews on Tripadvisor. The guided segment of the Old Town tour lasted for one hour, followed by an additional hour of free time. However, due to a disagreement with other travellers, you opted to separate from the group before the tour's conclusion. We appreciate your feedback and send our best wishes from sunny Greece.
