Hi ! I’m Mike, born and raised in Rhodes, and I’m passionate about sharing my island’s beauty and heritage. My parents came from Karpathos, a neighboring island. I was raised in the Medieval town, where I spent my childhood exploring its historic alleys, before moving with my family in the modern city. Like most locals I work hard during the seven - months tourist season, and in the off-season, you’ll find me cycling, swimming, or indulging in a good book—all things that make life on Rhodes even more enjoyable. I’ve been in the tourism industry since my teenage years, witnessing firsthand the transformation of Rhodes into a world-class destination. Today, I run a private tour agency, dedicated to crafting personalized experiences for visitors who want to explore the real Rhodes beyond the typical tourist spots. My goal? To make sure my guests get the most out of their visit and leave with unforgettable memories of my homeland. Rhodes is a truly blessed island—with over 300 days of sunshine, a rich historical heritage, and breathtaking natural landscapes, it’s the perfect destination for all types of travelers. Whether you're drawn to ancient history, stunning beaches, or charming villages, Rhodes has something special to offer. I am looking forward to introduce you to Rhodes and share its incredible stories, landscapes, and hidden gems. Let’s explore together! • I am a professional tour - driver with extensive knowledge of Rhodian history, culture and nature. • I 'm organizing and delivering private tours for the last 20 years while I also manage a local tour agency . • My thoroughly designed itineraries cover the whole island and I let customers to set the pace. • I am fluent in English and my vehicle is a Mercedes Benz W 213. * Upon request , I can accommodate groups as well. I am not a licensed guide and will not be able to guide you inside of historical monuments.

Rhodes was a fabulous cruise destination, and Mike was a superior guide! He was extremely knowledgeable and informative, and he had the day well planned. We saw many medieval sites in the Old Town of Rhodes, including the Palace of the Grand Master of the Knights of Rhodes, and so much more! We made a stop at a local ceramics facility and watched as the artist crafted a piece of pottery. We had lunch beachside (best gyro meat platter - EVER!) and explored so much of the city. This tour included a stop in Lindos, which had cute shops. There is an option to walk up to the Acropolis (older than the one in Athens), but it was so very hot that we opted not to make the hike. If you do plan on doing this walk, you should ensure you are well prepared. If your travels take you to Rhodes, I would highly recommend seeking out Mike as your guide - you will not be disappointed!

Taking this Rhodes tour with Mike was the best decision we could've made. Not only did Mike take us to the usual spots but he took us where other tours won't. He was very informative, helpful and was fun to be with. I would definitely recommend this tour to family and friends. Thank you Mike for being part of our family vacation.

This was a well organized trip. Mike got us to all the highlights in the areas we wanted to see. He was very informative and we understood everything. He said we had one of the best meals we had on any vacation when he brought us to a place for some fish and it was prepared perfectly and made it a fun afternoon. I would certainly suggest Mike as a caring and capable guide when in Rhodes.

We had a great full day tour with Mike. He took us to all the major sites on the island — both historical and cultural, as well much of the natural scenery on the island of Rhodes. He had great insights that he provided along the way. He was an excellent guide for us, and he provided us a fun experience and a lot of great information.

This was an amazing tour. Our guide, Mike, was truly gifted and incredibly knowledgeable. Having lived on the island his entire life, he provided a unique perspective on the history and culture that we wouldn’t have experienced otherwise. The tour was well-balanced and we never felt rushed. Rhodes is an incredible place, and without a guide like Mike, we would have missed so much. Before the tour, communication with Mike, via WhatsApp, was excellent. He clearly coordinated our meeting details, which made the start of the day completely stress-free. Thank you Mike for such a wonderful experience!

Great tour from Mike. Knows the island inside and out. Directed us to all kinds of beautiful and out of the way places we could not have done on our own, in addition to the major sites. Also had a fabulous fresh lunch at a quiet place by a local beach . Thoughtful gestures along the way - like grabbing some fresh fruit to try, picking some fresh herbs and orange blossoms. Highly recommend him .

Your Rhodes tour itinerary

Your tour begins by entering the walled city via D’Amboise Gate. Walk across the moat to the 14th-century Palace of the Grand Masters and the Street of the Knights. Next, enjoy a drive along the esplanade of Mandraki Harbor, where historians believe the Colossus of Rhodes once stood . From Mount Smith, the city’s highest point, take in spectacular views of the Aegean Sea and the ancient Acropolis of Rhodes. Leaving the city, stop for a refreshment and photos at Anthony Quinn Bay — please note this stop may be skipped in peak season due to limited parking. Along the way, visit a local pottery workshop to watch a craftsman at the wheel. As you approach Lindos, enjoy breathtaking panoramas and pause at St. Paul’s Bay. In Lindos, you’ll have free time to shop, relax, or climb to the ancient Acropolis. Your excursion concludes with a delicious seaside lunch at Haraki.
