A ‘must do’ experience for all. - What an experience!!!
Our guide was the beautiful Katerina, who was a complete pleasure from the moment we met to the moment we left.
There is no better way to get around Rhodes Old Town than on one of these electric trikkes. They are easy to use, great fun and they provide some much needed breeze. Katrina showed us the main sights, but also the sights that we would never of seen if we didn’t go on this experience.
There was ample time on the trikkes, ample time for hydration stops, time for photos and time to explore.
Myself, my husband and our 14 year old son all thoroughly enjoyed it and would definitely recommend to anyone.
Kat, είσαι μια πολύ ιδιαίτερη κυρία και χάρηκα που σε γνώρισα. Ελπίζω να ακολουθήσετε όλα τα όνειρά σας και να δημιουργήσετε αναμνήσεις στην πορεία. Θα είσαι καταπληκτικός δάσκαλος και οποιοδήποτε σχολείο θα ήταν πολύ τυχερό να σε έχει.

Family e scooter tour - It was great fun to learn how to ride the Trikke scooters, with the expert help of Caterina.
Once we had got the hang of it, it was off on the tour with Caterina guiding and informing through the excellent earpieces.
The Harbour was cool but once we got to the UNESCO World Heritage Medieval town it was breathtaking.
Especially off the beaten track with the narrow old streets.
Loved it thanks Caterina.
Highly recommend thanks Jason Eleanor and girls

Not to be missed! Best Tour!! - Καλή μέρα ☺️ We done this tour today as a family with our 14 year old son. I would highly recommend this as a way of exploring Rhodes old and new town. Kat and Theo were incredible in taking us around their home town and sharing stories. Very entertaining, always felt safe and cared for. Go on, give it a try! Thank you for an amazing time which we will remember for a long time ☺️ ευχαριστώ

Great way to experience Rhides - We had a great tour with Katerina. She was knowledgeable, fun and very considerate. The only suggestion would be to provide transportation from the cruise port to the start. It was not easy to find and taxis were a challenge to get. Overall though fun tour!

Huge fun and a lovely way to see Rhodes town - Katarina was so patient and helpful ensuring we could ride the scooters proficiently. It got easier as we rode around for sure! By the end we had no issues at all.
What a fun trip! We took in some great views and rode around special parts of the old town. We listened to great personal stories as we rode....giving us insight into Greek life. Really fun thing to do. Can't recommend the ride or Katarina highly enough.

Excellent 3-hour overview of a beautiful city! - Katarina was an excellent teacher and took the time to make sure we were confident on this new machine. The trikkes were reliable and powerful enough to navigate the various surfaces and hills and precise enough to weave in and around crowds of people and other obstacles. The only downside is that the trikkes are quite bumpy on some surfaces; however, Katarina was sensitive to how long we rode on the different surfaces. There was ample stoppage time as well to take a quick break and get some pictures. Katarina's knowledge of the sights on the journey was helpful and her pleasant personality really made the trip very lovely for us. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent Tour! - Theodore was an amazing! We had so much fun scootering around Rhodes on trikkes. Theodore knew so much about the area and was so knowledgeable. We had so much fun with him and he was able to show us so much during our tour. My family of four had the best time on his tour. My sons were ages 10 and 12. My 10 year old is a handful. He has ADHD and struggles to listen. Theodore was beyond patient with him. We were grateful to all of the patience he granted our family. The trikkes were not difficult to learn and we always felt safe in Theodore's care. During our tour two immigrant children harassed our family but Theodore handled the situation with extreme professionalism, much more than I would have exhibited if I were in his shoes. I would not hesitate to recommend Theodore to all of my friends. He was the best tour guide and made us simply fall in love with Rhodes. Excellent experience!

Best excursion/tour of our Mediterranean cruise - Katrina was a wonderful excursion leader. She gave great instructions for the Trikkes and they were easy/fun to ride. We saw residential areas, the market, the port and she gave great information along the way about daily life in Rhodes/Greece. The info for the meeting point was accurate and easy to find - about a 15 minute easy walk from the cruise port. We would do this tour again and highly recommend it.

Packed with Sights - Our guide Caterina was great. She was very knowledgeable of the area and offered unique tales of the region you can only get from a true local. The scooters were the way to go on our short day in Rhodes. We were able to see so much of old town we would have missed on foot. Caterina made sure we had lots of great photos to commemorate our day. I only gave 4/5 because of the lack of communication prior to our tour. I had reached out a couple times and never received a response. Overall a great experience!
