The largest of the twelve Dodecanese islands on the Aegean's eastern edge, Rhodes is also its most popular. The well-preserved medieval city of Rhodes sits at the north of the island of the same name. High rise hotels line the northern and eastern coastlines. Small villages and resorts dot the island's other shores. Whether your interests are beaches, bars or ancient sites, Rhodes offers an abundance of all three. Authentic Greece can be found in the hilly interior of the 50-mile long island.

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.

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!

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!

My wife and I booked this tour, but were able to customize it since we had already visited Butterfly Valley. Vasilis picked us up and took us to a few beautiful locations that we hadn't heard of before, giving us plenty of time to look around and providing information as we went along. The wine tasting itself was really nice, at a family-run winery. Since the winery is currently not providing lunch every day, we were taken to a little traditional cantina on the beach where we had a fantastic selection of Greek food, that Vasilis picked out for us based on what we like. All in all a really great experience, both for the locations you'll visit and for the friendly, knowledgeable guide. Highly recommend.
