Beautiful island. On time. Only issue was that there were not enough seats and my husband and child didn’t get a seat and husband had to stand. Despite being told that for safety reasons everyone needed to sit. The way back was fine.

Our driver ‘costas’ was incredibly helpful and went the extra mile to make sure we experienced Rhodes island. Costas offered to look after our luggage so we could enjoy our final day before flying back home late at night.

It was a very special experience. A lot was told about the areas where we went. Besides the beautiful surroundings, it was also very educational. I definitely recommend it

if you want to eat at the seven springs its going to be hard to have time to see the lake and springs.

100% would use this company again if I come back to Rhodes
