My siblings and I were on a cruise of the Greek islands. Rhodes was one of our stops. Mike of Rhodes Leisure was very easy to communicate with. He even emailed me with our guides information the day before our tour. Billy met us at the port. We were impressed with the customized Mercedes van, with wooden floors and a small table. Mike stopped by to say hello and even presented us with some Greek souvenir. We spent a fabulous day with Billy. He is knowledgeable, personable and professional. He showed us various sights in Rhodes then we drove to Lindos. He waited for us while we walked the charming town of Lindos. For lunch, Billy took us to a restaurant by the beach. We had grilled fresh catch of the day, fried calamari, Greek salad, freshly baked bread and falafel. It was a meal that we would not forget for a long time. We ended the tour by Billy showing us the Grand Masters Palace and we walked down the old town. He met us on the bottom and took us back to the ship. A very memorable day.

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

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.
