Mike was a fantastic tour guide. He was very personable, engaging, and informative, without inundating us with a tidal wave of superfluous details. He provided us with a great overview of the island and selected wonderful places to visit above and beyond the two landmarks (the old city and the Lindos Acropolis). His car (MB) is very clean and comfortable. By the end of the day, Mike felt like an old friend. We highly recommend Mike.

Great tour don’t hesitate.
Joy_S, Oct 2023
Excellent private group tour with Vasilis. We had a comprehensive tour of Rhodes and the best was lunch at a local restaurant on the beach away from all the tourists. We were two couples traveling together and we all really enjoyed this tour b
Response from Host, Oct 2023
We are very content you had a great time with Vasilis & you took good memories from Rhodes . Many thanks !
Great introduction to Rhodes
Brenda_R, Oct 2023
Our tour of Rhodes was with Vasilis. He was very knowledge about his home town and wanted to share his love of the island with his guests. The tour was enjoyable with some time to walk in the old town area and again in Lindos. I'd recommend this tour but suggest having lunch earlier. We didn't eat until 2pm which was late for our group of 8. Lunch was overly expensive as we were taken to a friend's restaurant. Lunch is paid for separately and you pay for the fresh fish by the weight. The walking might be a bit much for anyone with mobility issues. Lindos was crowded the day we were there and the paths are uneven. Good value.
Response from Host, Oct 2023
Great feedback , thanks very much Brenda ! We also appreciate sharing your thoughts regarding the lunch, we 'll surely keep them in mind. Best regards !

A great experience
James_C, Jun 2023
Panos was a great guide who took us to all the important places: Lindos, Acropolis, the old city, a few beaches and vantage points. The car was very comfortable and cool. He was able to drop us off at the places without having to worry about parking. He was also on time everytime. It was a great experience, well worth the money.
Response from Host, Jun 2023
Thank you for reviewing our services ! Panos is an excellent host & we feel proud of him. Mike

Wonderful day touring Rhodes with Dimitrius. He was insightful & personable. The highlight was the place he took us for lunch. Anthony Quinn’s Bay - the food was excellent with beach club vibes. Will def use him again when we return.

Best All Day Tour of Rhodes!
Srijain_S, Apr 2023
Our tour started at 9am and Mike met us at our hotel right on time and picked us up in a nice and clean Mercedes. We visited all of the locations listed on the tour and more with Mike! My favourite part was when Mike stopped on the side of the road and we picked some oranges from a tree and each ate 2-3 of them each! They were delicious! Mike was well versed in the history of Rhodes and told us all about the ancient philosophers, warriors, leaders, and politicians whose statues and areas of birth we passed. Anytime we had a question Mike was easily able to answer! Mike took us to a great ceramic pottery store owned by Yanni who hand crafts everything for sale. They were beautiful and we bought a wine jug and some serving cups. Mike also took us to an affordable taverna with great food near the 7 springs, as well as Lindos, Anthony Quinn Bay, Kalithea, the Rhodes acropolis, Rhodes medieval city, and other places. Our tour was scheduled until 3pm but our activities and lunch extended the day until 5pm. Mike adjusted the tour according to our interests, goals, and things we had already seen. It was an excellent way to view the island. We learned a ton, enjoyed ourselves, and had an all-around great day! He was a patient, knowledgeable and kind tour guide. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Apr 2023
Dear Srijain & Kristen , thanks for taking time to write such an excellent & descriptive review ! You are a lovely duo & i 'd be happy to see you back on Rhodes soon !
Mike is Terrific!

Gorgeous Day in Rhodes
Sylvia_C, Jun 2022
Mike provided us with an excellent private tour for 4. He has lived there his entire life and he timed everything perfectly with the best routes, the best views and places to stop. He also took us to a local pottery shop and we had a waterfront lunch at Haraki Bay Hotel. The view there was gorgeous. We were able to explore the entire island. I would highly recommend Mike. You will not be disappointed.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
We are truly grateful for recommending Rhodes Leisure. Thank you Sylvia ! Mike
The best tour guide in rhodes
Javier_C, Jun 2022
Truly was the very best of rhodes, our guide was knowledgeable accomodating and even took us to buy medicine (off the tour path) we needed,and waited for us while being late from a walk. Truly an experience above the rest.
Response from Host, Jun 2022
Thank you so much Javier for your great comments ! It was reallly a pleasure to meet your family and I hope to see you back on Rhodes soon. Kind regards Mike
Mike was fantastic!
Tracy_M, May 2022
We highly recommend Mike's private tour of Rhodes. He is an excellent driver (much appreciated by my daughter who was often motion sick in Rome cabs). He took us all around the island. He took lots of family photos. He is very knowledgeable and gave us just the right amount of history on our tour. We requested that he take us to the olive oil farm rather than the pottery shop. He gave us free time in Lindos to climb the acropolis but did not guide our tour there. A highlight was the restaurant he took us to for lunch. It was out of the high tourist areas but right on a beach and the food was excellent and reasonably priced.
Response from Host, May 2022
Very glad that your family enjoyed our services ! Best regards from Rhodes island. Thank you Mike.

Ronald_N, Oct 2021
Our guide Tassos was knowledgeable and engaging. He took us places on Rhodes that were appropriate for us. For example we visited the Kalithea cats as I am a retired veterinarian. We also stopped and had a taste of Suoma which is only found on Rhodes and one other island. Of course we also saw all the “Best of Rhodes “ highlights.
Response from Host, Oct 2021
Mr. Ronald, thank you for reviewing us. We are happy that you enjoyed Rhodes with Tasos. Warm regards Mike.

kbryanspokane, Oct 2021
Enjoyed an authentic Greek meal we enjoyed greatly. We were disappointed our guide, while good, did not give us more information about Rhodes. He did answer our questions, however. He pretty much was just a driver rather than a true guide like we had on our next two ship excursions.
Response from Host, Oct 2021
Dear Mr. Bryan Thank you for your sincere review, it is welcomed ! Glad to hear that our driver responded promptly to your questions & you also liked your lunch - time. For private tours up to 4 guests we engage a driver with extensive knowledge of Rhodes history. Bigger groups though , are escorted (besides the driver) by a professional guide with the additional cost. Apologies for not making this clear enough. Kind regards Mike Rhodes leisure.

Highly recommend this tour.
Virginia_B, Sep 2021
Mike gave us a great tour. He was early to pick us us at the hotel, very knowledgeable about the history of the island, and the tour was just what we wanted. He located an off the path great spot for us to have a lovely lunch in a remote cove on the water. Did not rush us at all. Highly recommend.
Response from Host, Sep 2021
Dear Ms. Virginia, thanks a lot for your excellent review. Rewarding to see our guests approving our work. Best regards to Mr. Richard. Cheers Mike.
