About the operator
Don’t take it from us – here’s what people have to say about this operator:
- Experience4964980 contributionsUnique Rhodes ExperienceThis is such a great tour. We booked outside our cruise ship. Pick up was easy. They provided wet bags and hats for the day which was a nice extra. We saw a completely different view of the island. The water is so blue and clear. We paddled to a few caves and took a break at a beach to snorkel (provided) and lunch (delicious)! If you’re in moderate shape you should be just fine with this tour. Definitely recommendWritten 30 October 2024

- U2517UAzoes0 contributionsRed sands kayak experienceMy partner and I went on the red sands kayak tour with Nikos and Pavlos. It was a beautiful calm morning and we shared the day with another 5 group members. Nikos carried out a very clear and informed safety briefing whilst Pavlos gave us a paddling warm up on the beach before we set off. You can't plan the weather but we had amazing clear still water on the journey out to the red sand beach, it was almost dream-like. We stopped every now and then for a bit of history on the coast from both our guides and some skills through rocks and into caves for photo moments. Around 5km we reached our destination for a spot of snorkeling, we saw lots of fish, trumpet fish and a few of us lucked out spotting a turtle which rapidly swam off when it saw us humans! Nikos prepared a tasty lunch of greek nibbles on the beach and we had some ice tea and water refills for.the journey back. Unfortunately the calm waters were passed and we had pretty strong winds and choppy sea to contend with but we were well looked after with dry skirts on the kayak and all got back a little tired but content with our day out. Nikos drive off to get a round of beers and non alcoholic celebratory drinks which finished our expedition off perfectly. Thanks again for a fabulous day out. Zoe and AndreiWritten 11 October 2024

The trip was an amazing day out. We got the chance to explore a beautiful Greek village. Firstly we visited a traditional Greek shop where we got to try authentic sweets and snacks. Upon finishing we took a stroll around the village, ending up at a Greek restaurant having the chance to create a range of Greek foods which was really fun and tasty! Then we visited a winery, which was stunning. The wines on offer took us by surprise to how nice they were, and the differences on offer. Once we finished, we then went back to the restaurant for a feast, which is some of the best food my partner and I have tasted. We ended the trip with an authentic coffee, which was an interesting experience to see how it was made, and also tasted really good. Our host Addie was brilliant, she answered all our questions and was really knowledgeable about the island of Rhodes. I would 100% recommend to anyone visiting Rhodes, wanting a brilliant day out with the chance of eating some stunning Greek dishes. Thank you for having us, and we will definitely be recommending to anyone going to Rhodes!

We had a lovely experience today! The guide is very friendly and knowledgeable. Sometimes these sorts of things can feel uncomfortable but this felt very relaxed and easy going. The food and drinks were delicious (and plentiful) and all staff members at each location were friendly.

We took a private tour with Addie, who was a wonderful guide. We highly recommend a smaller group (we were just 4) as we had a lot more flexibility in what we wanted to do. The cooking lesson was great fun, and we also enjoyed eating the fruits of our labour afterwards. Meeting the women of the food cooperative in the village, and the wine tasting rounded out our visit to Apollona. Happy memories!

A wonderful experience by extreme knowledgeable hosts who kept the entire group engaged. They prompted meaningful dialog and encouraged thoughtful discussions. The bakery, the neighborhood village stroll, the winery and finally the main event, the hands on cooking class was phenomenal. Truly a wonderful experience to prepare and eat Greek food that you’ve prepared. Overall, I would take this tour again just to have the experience with suck knowledge folks. Thanks much and good luck.

My husband and I were on a cruise ship docked in Rhodes for the day and chose to try this as something different and educational. We had such a wonderful time that we both agree that this was the very best day of our trip. Maria was so sweet, gracious, knowledgeable and accommodating just to use a few superlatives. We would do this again and highly recommend booking this tour with Trekking Hellas Rhodes! We ❤️ Maria!

First of all, many thanks to the Tour guide! She gave us a lot of information about the history of Rhodes and local products and life styles. The little village where the activity took place was lovely.
The highlight of the tour was the cooking class. We made our own traditional Greek food and we’re served with other Greek dishes.
We loved the tour and would do it again!

Wonderful tour with a great tour guide Maria. She was informative, easy-going and positive, with a real love of nature and the outdoors. She showed me areas that I would not have known about. We made wonderful Greek food and tasted wine/coffee and also stopped at different places of interest along the way. I was on my own but she made me feel very comfortable. I really enjoyed the experience - thank you Maria!

Great experience with wonderful scenery, delicious wine, fantastic food and a knowledgeable guide. A lovely way to spend 4-5 hours in Apollon. The location is beautiful but very remote so best to plan travel ahead of time so save a high taxi fare. Photos of the experience being emailed across was also a welcome perk.

The entire day was wonderful!! Our tour guide was sooo much fun and full of information. Took us thru the hills and up to a village where we say local bakery, wine tasting, learned to make local greek dishes and enjoyed eating them as well. Took us to a local coffee house where we saw greek coffee being made from scratch and enjoyed drinking as well. Hated to see the day end as we really had a fantastic time. Was one of my best experiences while traveling thru Greece - Rhodes is spectacular island!!

We had an incredible time with our very knowledgeable guides on our food tour. The walk was excellent to get to know the island and all it's ability to grow and sustain the area with many types of fruit, vegetables and spices. And a few good stories along the way.
The wine tasting and cooking class was enjoyable and we made some pretty good food to eat! The day passed quickly and the two guides were excellent.
