Rhodes sightseeing in comfort!
Stamos met us just by the ship in a super comfy Mercedes SUV which was perfect for our party of 6. We had a leisurely day driving around Rhodes, stopping to take amazing photos. Our last stop was at a smart beach club where we had drink stop before heading back the ship. Stamos was a good guide and driver. The only criticism from our party was that we would have liked some guidance as we walked through the old town/port at the beginning of the tour as there was a lot to see and we weren’t sure what we were looking at. This was a very enjoyable excursion. Thanks Stamos.

Great Tour of Rhodes
Dimitrious did a great job getting us to all the key points on the island. He kept it simple and sweet and gave us time to explore at our own pace. We had a lovely lunch out at the beach. Great day and I’m certain it was better than the cruise excursion offered.
Response from the operator: Dear Allison, thank you for sharing your experience with us. We are delighted that your time in Rhodes was both comfortable and memorable. It was a true pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back again in the future. Kind regards!

Wonderful personal tour!
We had a great personal tour with Demetrius. He was our driver and guide and gave us great information about everything we saw on the tour. We had a wonderful authentic Greek lunch by the sea shore. He even provided us with cold bottled water. Would definitely recommend this tour and Demetrius to anyone. A personal tour is the only way to go!
Response from the operator: We are glad that the private tour made your visit so special. It was a pleasure hosting you, and we hope to welcome you back to Rhodes in the future. Thank you so much!

The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
The Very Best of Rhodes: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.
How much does The Very Best of Rhodes cost?
+
Prices start at $367 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 The Very Best of Rhodes take?
+
Plan for about 6 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 The Very Best of Rhodes worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 73 out of 100, which we label "Strongly Recommended". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.9/5 across 140 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 The Very Best of 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 The Very Best of Rhodes suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book The Very Best of Rhodes?
+
Around 49 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 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does The Very Best of 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, 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.

+
Included: Customized itinerary upon customer's request; Fluent in English driver with extensive knowledge of Rhodian history; On-board WiFi; Bottled water; and Mercedes Benz fully airconditioned. Not included: Lunch; and Entrance fees. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

What languages is The Very Best of Rhodes offered in?
+
