Getting to know Rhodes - We had a wonderful, fascinating and fun day out. Thank you so much.
Our driver was incredibly skilled in driving through the mountain roads. We felt safe at all times. His quiet calm manner was very appreciated. Our lady tour guide was very knowledgable, patient, funny and a pleasure to spend time with. The trip was very well designed - so we were able to see places we would not have been able to see via public transport. The lunch negotited for us was excellent value and very tasty.
It was a fantastic and very memirable day.

Really great experience with ManosGoing - Big thank you to everybody at ManosGoing. I booked 4 trips on my recent week in Rhodes and enjoyed them all. As a solo traveller it's nice to have something new and exciting to do each day. I did the Lindos Cruise, the day trip to Symi, the 7 springs and butterfly valley and the Kamiros trip. Kamiros and the old church, the ruined castle in Kritinia, the fish in the fountain, the lunch and everything on this trip was super interesting and by far the best thing I did all week. Antonis (probably getting these names wrong lol) is a super safe and friendly driver and Katerina really is wonderful. Her incites into just about everything throughout the day really made it a standout experience. She talked at length about not just the history and origins of places and names but also local politics, the wild fires (I found her description of what really happened quite emotional and also uplifting at how everyone banded together - so different from just seeing it on the news, she really explained it on a human level and made it real.) ,..... all sorts. Literally everything we asked her, she knew, even the names of flowers any the origins of those names. Everything she told us was interesting and she talked for about 6 hours without missing a beat or forgetting anything.
All my trips were good ands good value and all ran exactly to schedule. Also thank you to Manos himself for turning the aircon down in the bus for me on the 7 springs trip. It was drying my throat out and making me cough - it turned out that I was developing a cold anyway but I didn't know that at the time.
I can't recommend ManosGoing enough. I'm so glad I booked my activities with them. I wish I had booked more now - like the scuba diving. Why didn't I do that on my last day? Baaaa too late now I'm back in rainy England.

Very good tour with much information - Very good Tour with Tour-Guide Katarina, who always told us many information. The old ruins were very nice and the old castle on the hill was also good.
Sad to see the damage of the fire from last year, but Katerina told us also how that had happened, which was very interesting.

Smarts trip - This was an excellent excursion - we loved the morning's itinerary and the food at Embona was absolutely delicious & great value for money. Katerina, the guide, was excellent - amazing knowledge, care & enthusiasm. Antoni the driver also was brilliant, we felt very safe. If we have one criticism, we felt the stop at the fountain was a bit uneccessary, not much to see- but that's just our opinion, others seemed to enjoy it. Having said that we still rated the trip highly. Coach very comfortable & pick up/drop off, communication etc was great.

Great trip out to see more of the island - We had a pickup near to our hotel in Rhodes Town and after the driver checked our names off the list we were on our way. Our knowledgeable and friendly guide joined the bus shortly after we got on and gave us such a great tour, not only at the sites we visited, but she also talked about the history and geography of the island past and present. Our guide gave short talks at every site we visited and then you were free to roam on your own before you had to return to the bus. The bus was comfortable and had air conditioning and we had a stop for lunch in Embonas.
If I visit Rhodes again, I will definitely consider taking another day trip with this company.
