Lindos
Great bus transfer to Lindos. Plenty of time to explore and great communication with George and Yannis. Really accommodating
via Viator
Great way to get to Lindos!
Great tour to Lindos! Yannis was a great driver and very helpful! George was great with communication and accomodating our need to be back at a certain time. Highly recommend as a great way to get to Lindos for the day!

Drive to Lindos
The bus ride to & from Lindos took a lot longer than expected. The driver was ok however he wasn’t very helpful when we needed assistance from him. He advised us to call him if we needed help which we did and he didn’t answer his phone. Luckily some local people helped us. Also the trip home took twice as long because he had to drop other people off first which he should have advised us before we left. We were also picked up later than originally booked, picked up in a different location than booked & dropped off at a later time than booked. Overall very disappointed.

Beautiful
Super excursion, beautiful location to visit. Comfortable transport and an extremely professional guide who shared lots of fabulous information. St Paul's bay is stunning and lovely to swim on. Highly recommend.

Not Worth the Money for What Felt Like a Taxi Ride
TripAdvisor describes this as a Lindos small group minibus tour and swimming trip, but that’s not really what you get. On the journey, the guide said very few words about olive trees, and that was about it. We mainly had to start the conversation. Close to arrival at Lindos, the driver stopped above the bay for a photo, then drove on to the car park by St Paul’s Bay and told us we had three hours to do as we pleased. This is badly described by TripAdvisor and definitely not worth the money you pay. The “swimming stop” is also poorly described, as the guide didn’t actually stop for a swim. It was left entirely up to us whether we went swimming or spent the time exploring the many other options available in Lindos. I’d recommend hiring a car if you can, or finding an alternative tour. Making your own way to Lindos is preferable, as it allows you to spend the time you need seeing the old town and enjoying the beautiful beach.

Lindos Small-Group Minibus Tour & Swimming at St. Paul’s Bay: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.
How much does Lindos Small-Group Minibus Tour & Swimming at St. Paul’s Bay cost?
+
Prices start at $45 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rhodes usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Lindos Small-Group Minibus Tour & Swimming at St. Paul’s Bay take?
+
Plan for about 5 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rhodes is not rushed.
Is Lindos Small-Group Minibus Tour & Swimming at St. Paul’s Bay worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 83 out of 100, which we label "Exceptional". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.8/5 across 173 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rhodes, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Lindos Small-Group Minibus Tour & Swimming at St. Paul’s Bay?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Lindos Small-Group Minibus Tour & Swimming at St. Paul’s Bay suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 5-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Lindos Small-Group Minibus Tour & Swimming at St. Paul’s Bay?
+
Around 61 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rhodes can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rhodes and add a light layer if any part of the 5-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Lindos Small-Group Minibus Tour & Swimming at St. Paul’s Bay start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rhodes within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rhodes?
+
On Outty we rank every Rhodes experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board, Athens cruise: Agistri, Moni/Metopi, Aegina with lunch & drinks, Rhodes Sea Kayaking Tour – The Pirates Route. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rhodes?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rhodes?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
What is included in Lindos Small-Group Minibus Tour & Swimming at St. Paul’s Bay?
+
Included: In-vehicle air conditioning. Not included: Lunch; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.
Does Lindos Small-Group Minibus Tour & Swimming at St. Paul’s Bay include hotel pickup?
+

What languages is Lindos Small-Group Minibus Tour & Swimming at St. Paul’s Bay offered in?
+
