superb trip - superb from start to finish. Pick up was on time and bus drivers were friendly and welcoming. Our guide, ‘Lefty’ made the day. He was full of fun, very knowledgeable and was a superb guide. He even gave us money for the bus at Lindos as we had forgotten our cash and could not pay by card. Rhodes Old Town is a must if you like to know about some Greek history. Lindos is very busy and hot! It was 40 degrees today so we decided to not walk up to the Acropolis! Lots of shops and bars to grab some lunch.
I would highly recommend this trip to anyone. Thank you again for a lovely day.

Can't fault Manos Tours - excellent - We went on this trip plus a full-day boat trip to Symi Island. Both tours were very efficiently organised and buses and boats on time and very comfortable. The staff in the Manos shop in Ixia were very helpful and friendly and our guide on the Rhodes Old Town and Lindos tour - Katerina - was excellent.

Acropolis - Acropolis
Walk to acropolis should be identified as strenuous. Stating 300 steps us misleading.
Lindos is not worth it wo the acropolis. Acropolis is amazing.

Manos trip was first rate - We went on this trip yesterday and really enjoyed it. The guide, Katerina, was very knowledgeable and the driver Constantinos gave us an excellent food recommendation in Iallysos. The Rhodes city element was informative and the Kalytheas trip was a revelation. Lindos was over-commercialised for our taste but you have to see it once. Manos himself was very friendly and the trip was good value…..although I didn’t tell him that when I unsuccessfully tried for a discount. We are now looking forward to our forthcoming trip. Would definitely recommend this company.

Couldn't ask for more! - Big bang for the buck! Our guide was knowledgeable, friendly, and informative. Additionally, everyone in my family appreciated the mid-sized tour bus. Our tour lasted a little over 6 hours, and we couldn't have asked for more. Overall, FANTASTIC DAY! HIGHLIGHTS - Kallithea - is just stunning. LINDOS - great food, shopping, and a quick hike to the ancient ruins - Temple of Athena (250ish stairs - 30 minutes up and 15 down).

Wonderful - The history and the buildings are amazing. Start at the top of the hill and work down to the harbour. You cant hail a taxi- you must go to the taxi rank.

Acropolis worth a visit. - View from Acropolis was amazing. It was not easy to walk around at the top, lots of uneven slippery stones. Be careful when shopping in the marketplace at Lindos, we were charged twice for one transaction, and now in contact with our bank. We were not impressed with Rhodes old town tour, we had expected to visit inside the Palace of Grandmaster, but saw outside only. We wondered if that's because our excursion was delayed at the start. Coach driver had to go back to collect more people, not sure why. Our guide was very knowledgeable and friendly.
