The guide was incredibly knowledgeable and had a great sense of humor, which made the tour both informative and fun. After the official tour ended, he even walked around with us to show some great local restaurants and hidden parts of the Old Town that aren’t included in the main tour. Absolutely worth the money!

Our guide Michael gave us a great overview of the city and shared some really engaging stories. He spoke both English and German fluently, which made everything easy to follow. The tour was compact but covered the main highlights of the Old Town (from the outside). A great introduction—and definitely a good reason to come back and explore Rhodes Town further!
