Excellent guided tour of the Palace - Nikos was an amazing guide! He’s an archeologist and provided excellent context and insight to many of the artifacts in the palace. His knowledge of the history was extensive and we learned so much more than just walking through the palace ourselves. We are so glad we chose to have a guide and grateful that it was Nikos!

Marianna is a college... - Marianna is a college professor who knows so much about the Palace of the Grand Master. She explained so many details that we would not have been aware of had we done the tour on our own. She was able to answer all our questions.

Excellent private tour for a first time visit - Great private tour. We loved this tour because the guide - Ionna- was fab. Very knowledgeable, friendly and easy to understand. She explained a lot of the history and it was very enjoyable. We more or less had the Palace of the Grand Masters to ourselves.

Disappointing - The tour of the palace was very interesting. The guide was knowledgeable. Unfortunately, we were not given the private tour of Rhodes Town nor escorted to the Archeological Museum and provided with our entrance tickets.
