Our guide Tassos was knowledgeable and engaging. He took us places on Rhodes that were appropriate for us. For example we visited the Kalithea cats as I am a retired veterinarian. We also stopped and had a taste of Suoma which is only found on Rhodes and one other island. Of course we also saw all the “Best of Rhodes “ highlights.Enjoyed an authentic Greek meal we enjoyed greatly. We were disappointed our guide, while good, did not give us more information about Rhodes. He did answer our questions, however. He pretty much was just a driver rather than a true guide like we had on our next two ship excursions.
