The yellow bus takes 1 hour for the complete tour. When we drove one was in use, ie 1 hour waiting time until it was back in the same place. A bit long in some places. Submarine also runs hourly.

Great journey around Rhodes. Gives you a glimpse of everything and you can stop and get off anytime and experience all Rhodes has to offer.

We only had a few hours in Rhodes at the end of our honeymoon so this was an ideal way to see the city in a short period of time.

Very good, especially the submarine with the diving show!

Everything correct. We toured Rhodes without setbacks
