Tour of Rhodes and Wine Tasting
Booked this late as our planned similar tour operator trip was cancelled at the last minute. Very comprehensive tour which took us far outside our base in Rhodes Town. Kameiros was a treat. The Pompei of Rhodes. We enjoyed this more than Lindos Acropolis and the guide gave excellent background and historical information. The castle at Kritinia is worth the steps up for the views and lunch in Embonas was tasty and good value. All stops were timed about right with enough time to see things with the guide and in our own time. Coach was comfortable and pick up and drop off from outside our hotel was great.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much ,we appreciate it .

Excellent tourguide and bus driver
Mixed feelings about this tour. The tour guide was excellent—very knowledgeable and engaging. I especially enjoyed her stories about everyday life in ancient Kamiros and would have loved to spend more time there. Unfortunately, the visit felt rushed, and we had very little time to explore. The traditional Greek lunch in Embona was the highlight of the trip. The food was delicious, and the wine tasting afterward was also very enjoyable. On the downside, most stops felt quite rushed, with little or no free time to look around. Some locations, such as Kritinia Castle, were not particularly impressive, and reaching them requires walking uphill, which may be challenging for less mobile visitors. By the end, the tour felt a bit too focused on places where extra spending was encouraged. Overall, great guide and excellent lunch, but I would have preferred more time at the main sights and a less rushed schedule.
Response from the operator: The tour is very well orginised ,in each stop we stay a certain time because then we will be out of the times and we will finish very late ,all these are written in our site, in the stops we dont force the people to visit a particular shop or restaurant ,they are free to choose .Next time you could make it in private. Thank you

Exceptional Tours, Outstanding Guide & True Rhodian Hospitality! ★★★★★
As an experienced traveler who has visited many countries and joined numerous organized tours over the years, I can honestly say that our experience with Kariba Travel was outstanding from beginning to end. We booked two excursions with them during our stay in Rhodes: the Symi & Panormitis excursion and the Guided Ancient Kamiros – Kritinia Castle – Embona – Mount Profitis Ilias – Kallithea Springs tour. Both were exceptionally well organized, punctual, and professionally managed. From the very first communication until the end of our excursions, everything went smoothly and exactly as promised. The online booking and payment process was simple, secure, and straightforward, while the customer support team was always responsive, professional, and genuinely willing to help before we even made our reservation. This level of service is becoming increasingly rare, especially during the peak tourist season when companies are extremely busy. Yet the team at Kariba Travel always found time to answer questions, provide guidance, and make us feel valued as customers. Their willingness to communicate and assist, even during such a busy period, was truly appreciated. A special thank you goes to our guide, Mrs. Elena. Her knowledge of the history, culture, traditions, and heritage of Rhodes was truly impressive. What made her stand out even more was the genuine passion and love she has for sharing knowledge. Every explanation was engaging, informative, and delivered with warmth, enthusiasm, and respect for the visitors. It was clear that she genuinely loves what she does, and that made a huge difference to our experience. The way Mrs. Elena managed the tour in multiple languages was truly exceptional. Her ability to switch effortlessly between languages while maintaining the same level of enthusiasm, clarity, accuracy, and attention to every guest was remarkable. She is a shining example of what a true tourism professional should be: knowledgeable, organized, patient, approachable, and deeply respectful towards visitors. Her professionalism, passion, and dedication greatly enriched our experience and deserve the highest praise. We would also like to thank our driver, Mr. Giorgos, who was a true professional throughout both excursions. Friendly, courteous, calm, and always helpful, he made us feel safe and comfortable at all times. His professionalism and excellent attitude deserve special recognition. The coach itself was excellent—modern, spotless, comfortable, and very well maintained. Every aspect of the journey reflected care, professionalism, and attention to detail. What impressed us most was that we never felt like tourists being treated as a source of revenue, but rather as welcomed guests whose experience genuinely mattered. At no point did we feel pressured, rushed, or taken advantage of simply because we were visitors. In an industry where trust is everything, Kariba Travel has earned ours completely. They know how to respect, appreciate, and care for their guests. It is refreshing to find a company that combines professionalism, honesty, excellent organization, and genuine hospitality in such a natural way. What impressed us most was the feeling that we were not simply customers, but welcomed guests. The combination of excellent organization, fascinating destinations, knowledgeable guiding, safe transportation, and genuine hospitality created memories that we will cherish for a long time. Five stars are simply not enough. For us, this was a 10/10 experience. A huge congratulations to the entire team for setting such a high standard. Thank you, Kariba Travel, thank you Mrs. Elena, and thank you Mr. Giorgos for helping us discover Rhodes with such professionalism, kindness, and love for your beautiful island. We will happily recommend your company to friends, family, and fellow travelers. ★★★★★ Highly recommended. 10/10.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much ,we appreciate it.

It was unfortunate that...
It was unfortunate that the weather was a bit grim, but the tour went ahead anyway. There were some things that we couldn’t see due to this, but guide & driver handled the day very well. Great to see the sights we did & lunchtime taverna visit was amazing. Felt overall like we spent more time on the coach than off today, but feel this was probably due to the rain! Guide super informative & helpful, driver very safe:) Definitely recommend this tour if you don’t have the use of a car on the island.
Response from the operator: Thank you very much ,we appreciate it.

Why this scores 68
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rhodes:Kamiros,Kritinia,Embona,Mt Profitis Ilias & Kallithea tour: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.
How much does Rhodes:Kamiros,Kritinia,Embona,Mt Profitis Ilias & Kallithea tour cost?
+
Prices start at $25 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 Rhodes:Kamiros,Kritinia,Embona,Mt Profitis Ilias & Kallithea tour take?
+
Plan for about 8 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 Rhodes:Kamiros,Kritinia,Embona,Mt Profitis Ilias & Kallithea tour worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 68 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.5/5 across 35 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable most popular in Rhodes, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rhodes:Kamiros,Kritinia,Embona,Mt Profitis Ilias & Kallithea tour?
+
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 Rhodes:Kamiros,Kritinia,Embona,Mt Profitis Ilias & Kallithea tour suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 8-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rhodes:Kamiros,Kritinia,Embona,Mt Profitis Ilias & Kallithea tour?
+
Around 12 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 8-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rhodes:Kamiros,Kritinia,Embona,Mt Profitis Ilias & Kallithea tour 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.
