I booked a short private tour with George, it was an incredible experience! He showed me all the must-see landmarks and some hidden jewels in the island. Besides, his restaurant recommendations were brilliant. In Rhodes it’s really easy to end up in tourist traps, but thanks to George I felt like a local. If you want to really discover Rhodes, this is the right agency!

Seven Springs was a challenging walk / scramble from the coach, not good for anyone not closely related to a mountain goat, but the springs are pretty. The tunnel to the (man made) waterfall is so narrow that I had to turn my shoulders, and the water deeper than predicted so I got a wet undercarriage. The waterfall not so impressive. Lindos is glorious and worth the walk from the bus drop off at the top of the hill - though it is worth knowing that a shuttle bus runs between the car park and the square in the village for 50 cents each way. The narrow streets are full of things to see and plenty of choice of food and drink places, many on upper terraces with good views. We found prices on a par with other places on the island, no premium for the attractiveness of the village. No guide on our excursion, but a knowledgeable driver with good English who was extremely helpful. Good value excursion.

We booked the private trip to Lindos directly with the company which was a shot walk from the hotel. Wow, what a day - absolutely recommend! The air conditioned mini van was very high quality which made for a really comfortable trip on the hottest day of our holiday. It was who Manos made this excursion so great, his knowledge of the history of the island was really interesting and his passion for Rhodes was clear! We went to Lindos first and were able to stop on the way for some great photo opportunities. We had a good 3 hours in Lindos do wander round and choose what we wanted to do. On the way back we asked if we could stop somewhere different as we had visited Rhodes old town often on our own. Manos took us to Ostria Beach which was just lovely, we stopped at a little bar and had cocktails, the perfect way to spend a sunny Sunday. We all had a great day and have no hesitation recommending the company. When we come back to Rhodes, and we will, we will absolutely book more trips with Manosgoing!

MICHAEL, is by far the bestl driver we ever had, he moved with his car through the small streets of Rhodes as if it was a bike. We were on a cruise and had only a short stop in Rhodes; he showed us the beautiful coastline and told us the most interesting details of the isle, thus ensuring a wonderful, extremely-interesting time, He is very kind and thoughtful. He offered me some flowers from a typical tree in Rhodes; they lasted for several days during our trip as a nice memory to the beauty of Greece.

My son, daughter-in-law and I had booked a 14-day private tour of Athens, Crete, Santorini, Milos and Naxos with Private Tours Greece from May 1-14, 2020 and made a 30% down payment by credit card on 02/06/2020. All interactions with Private Tours Greece went smoothly and were professional and friendly. Then, due to the outbreak of the COVID-19 pandemic and my son's illness, on 03/13/2020, well ahead of the deadline for a fully-refundable cancellation, I asked Private Tours Greece to release all reservations it had made on our behalf, but to hold my deposit, in the hope that we might be able to reschedule our trip later in 2020 or in the spring of 2021. Private Tours Greece complied with my request and issued a credit voucher for the down payment I had made. As the pandemic continued to surge and Greece remained closed to visitors from the United States, on 4/17/2021, after essentially extending an interest-free loan to Private Tours Greece for over a year, I requested that my down payment be fully refunded and credited to the same credit card account to which it had been charged. Thereupon, Private Tours Greece staff claimed that the request for refund had been "forwarded" ... as it turned out later, to Alpha Bank. Nothing happened for a week. I then engaged in repeated e-mail exchanges with Private Tours Greece staff, only to be subjected to a stream of equivocations, obfuscations of the facts, and invalid excuses, including a claim that Private Tours Greece was doing me a favor by agreeing to a refund because the Greek government had allegedly given it the option to hold my funds indefinitely. I then contacted the general manager of the company, who sent me what purported to be a Greek language request to Alpha Bank (that I was unable to read) to issue the refund, along with further invalid excuses, never responding to my complaint that Private Tours Greece was in breach of its contractual obligation to issue a full refund of my down payment, not to mention doing the honorable thing, i.e., issue an immediate refund from an account he controlled directly, rather than blaming Alpha Bank for the delay by claiming that it "required" 10-15 "working" days to complete the request. Even that outlandishly ridiculous period has now expired! A complaint I submitted to Alpha Bank has received no response to date. It has now been nearly a full month since my refund request of 4/17/2021, and I may have to initiate legal action against Private Tours Greece ... with all the complexities and additional outlays and delays that would involve ... in order to reclaim my funds. The lesson to be learned here is that Private Tours Greece cannot be counted upon to honor its promises and contractual commitments. If there is any chance at all that you may have to cancel your trip, STAY AWAY!

We've travelled to Halki via Rhodes Airport over 20 times. always using Rhodes Experience/MBC Travel for our transfers by coach, minibus or taxi and then via ferry via Kamiros Scala. The company has also arranged accommodation for us on the odd occasion our flights have been delayed. In all those years there has never been a hitch, a marvel in itself! Staff are efficient, professional and courteous and have always been extremely helpful. Highly recommended.

Would highly recommend this boat tour everything was superb from the pickup from our hotel to the stunning cove for swimming and snorkeling, then to the beautiful Symi, lovely coloured building in the harbour and stunning little side streets selling all sorts, enjoyed a lovely Greek meal in a traditional taverna highly recommended, then a couple of hours to wander around the stunning street's and harbour before we set off back to Rhodes whilst watching the stunning sun setting. Book directly with them to save a few euro's.
