★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 310 reviews · 2 hours (approx.) · from $58Our pick

Ride a three-wheel Trikke through Mandraki Harbour, Rhodes New Town, and the medieval Old Town in a small group of up to six. Guides such as Katarina and Katerina provide patient instruction, local stories, photo stops, bottled water, helmets, and headsets. The tour covers major sights rather than offering a detailed history lecture.

“This was such a fun and different way to discover parts of the city of Rhodes. You get to cover a lot more ground while enjoying yourself at the same time. My guide, Kaíti (I hope I’ve spelled that correctly!), was absolutely outstanding—so friendly, attentive, and always looking out for everyone. That’s no small task while also giving instructions, sharing interesting facts about the area, and navigating the busy streets of Rhodes! I'm really glad I chose to do this excursion—it was a fantastic experience and I had so much fun!”
