A very disappointing day.
Could NOT find driver. We had 2 people from the ship helping us. Contacting someone proved impossible! Driver called about #30 minutes later asking where we were. We waited for about 30. as we were early. My husband cannot stand long and sat with a security guard from the port A terrible experience and disappointing experience. The driver sympathized with our issue and said he would call the office so we would not be charged. I had no way of reaching the office. When I finally spoke to a person from Viator, I was told to call the local office handling the tour, they,the person I spoke with, could not give me the number!! A very difficult and disappointed day, To this day, a week later, I still don’t know who to call On the plus side, our second Viator tour went well as the driver contacted me the day before to confirm my husband’s situation.

Nice, but not what we expected
First off we did have a wonderful guide. We enjoyed the trip except for a few issues. This trip does NOT include any tickets to the grand masters palace-you have to pay when you arrive. Also this tour is listed at 4 hours-we were only the tour for 1.5 hours. Seemed very expensive for such a short tour. Wished we had purchased through our ship instead.

Why this scores 54
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Old Town and Grand Master Palace Tour in Rhodes: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.
How much does Old Town and Grand Master Palace Tour in Rhodes cost?
+
Prices start at $35 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 Old Town and Grand Master Palace Tour in Rhodes take?
+
Plan for about 4 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 Old Town and Grand Master Palace Tour in Rhodes worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 54 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (2.5/5 across 2 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 Old Town and Grand Master Palace Tour in Rhodes?
+
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 Old Town and Grand Master Palace Tour in Rhodes suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 4-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Old Town and Grand Master Palace Tour in Rhodes?
+
Around 1 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 4-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Old Town and Grand Master Palace Tour in Rhodes 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, Rhodes Exclusive Swim Cruise Cocktail Open bar & Gourmet Buffet, Athens cruise: Agistri, Moni/Metopi, Aegina with lunch & drinks. 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.
