Europe’s best-preserved medieval town rewards a guide who knows the cobbles. Compare the walking tours, the e-bike and Segway loops, and the small-group visits to the Street of the Knights and the Palace: how long each takes, what it costs, and which start early enough to beat the cruise crowds.

“1st hour was dry and boring. Once we got to the medieval city it was fascinating. The guide was a little too oreachy.”
From Lindos, spend a morning wandering UNESCO Rhodes Old Town, then take a speedboat to Symi for an afternoon by the water.
“100% recommend to anybody staying in lindos and beyond- it’s the cheapest way to get to symi and with hotel pickup you can’t go wrong! We stayed near Kiotari and we got picked up from our hotel at around 7:30am and then spent the day in Rhodes town and then onto Symi! This is the best value for money and the cheapest way of getting there if you are staying in lindos or past lindos. Symi itself was beautiful and perfect for a day trip. Couldn’t recommend enough!”

“Katerina was a Very caring and personable tour guide. She made each of us feel comfortable every step of the way. Very informative and humble. She gives clear directions and stops traffic as we crossed the roads. Ask her to stop if you want a quick pic, things that are cool to Americans are everyday things to Rhodians. She deserves a GOLD STAR! We do not go inside the castle, but you do go around the walls and turrets. I highly recommend this event for 12 to 70 years old. A bit of advice, Another couple chose an electric bike and went with our group. It was a challenge for…”

“Ionia was a fabulous guide, so knowledgeable! Having been raised inside the walls she oozed love of her city and provided stories at every turn. The small, picturesque village of Lindos was only a hour drive from Old City of Rhodes. Some of us climbed up to the acropolis in Lindos and others elected to explore the labyrinth of streets in this beautiful, whitewashed village. Back in Rhodes we enjoyed tasting the delicious local wines in a charming cafe.”

“Let me start by stating the bus was waiting right outside the ship as promised. However the seats were cramped and there was no legroom, we were in the bus about 3 hours total. This activity isn’t for those with back and knee problems. The walkways are cobblestone, very uneven and there are very steep inclines and declines. I had to pass on the climb to the Acropolis of Lindos As there were 300 steps up and down with no hand rail. Instead I ate a quick bite and shopped, I also do not drink and passed on the wine tasting, I found myself doing more stuff in my own…”
