I had the good fortune of finding George at Rhodes Wonder on an internet search.
My company were sponsoring a high profile European Congress in Ixia and it was my responsibility to ensure that our Doctors and Team of approximately 20 individuals were transferred to and from the airport - smoothly, without fuss.
Two other local companies had been recommended to me, but it was George who responded promptly to my initial enquiry and stayed in touch with me throughout the planning process.His word was certainly his bond; and as he promised, George and his team delivered a super slick and efficient ' taxi transfer' service.

Hi George,
I'm embarrassed that it has taken me this long to comment on our incredible tour with you last October on your breathtaking Island of Rhodes. My husband Jim, my In-laws, Jim and Natalie, and myself wholeheartedly thank you for going the "extra" mile and making our tour truly memorable. I just recently completed a photobook of our Eastern Meditteranean cruise which I plan to give to my in-laws for a Christmas gift. The process of composing the pictures brought back a flood of fond memories; the greatest being our marvelous day with you on Rhodes.We will surely spread the word of your great tourcompany and also,
hopefully see you again. Rhodes is deifinitely on my wish list for future vacations.Most sincerely, Jim & Joanne Kerr
Dear George,
Rick and I would like to thank you so much for such a wonderful tour of your beautiful Rhodes. We had such a great time and enjoyed spending the day with you.
My daughter loves the pottery we brought her. It was a real treat to go there and see the potter actually making the pots.I will be writing a very nice recommendation
on Trip Advisor. Let me know if there are any other sites you would like me to contact to give a recommendation.
I wish you and your family only the best.
Good luck to you and I will certainly contact you if we are ever lucky enough to return to Rhodes.
Thanks again, Nancy and Rick
Hi George,
Just a quick note to let you know that the 4 of us thoroughly enjoyed our tour of Rhodes. It was such a beautiful day and we thought our driver / guide was very knowledgeable and enthusiastic about the island. I know I learned quite a lot more of what to recommend to my clients who cruise to Rhodes or go there for a land based vacation.
Thanks again! I will keep your information on file in case I have customers going who want to do what we did off a ship. Betty Hunson 11/11/2009
Hello George,
Since my return I have been meaning to drop you a line of gratitude.
We enjoyed the day spent with you and look forward to the next one.
My warmest personal regards, Rick Diaz ( President & C.E.O.

Hi George,
Trudy and I are back in the states after a very smooth and quick flight.
Our daughter did have everything turn out well with the sonogram and probably no amniocentesis will be needed. Just as you predicted! We want to thank you for a very interesting and enjoyable tour of Rhodes. We enjoyed meeting you and will remember you always. That restaurant was fantastic! Your recommendation in Olympia was also a very pleasant gentleman who knew his history and was a very enjoyable person to be with.
I will keep your card and email handy for future trips for Trudy and me and friends who plan to visit Greece. Again; thank you for everything and stay well. Harvey Handler
Hi George,
Yes, both Ilene and I were extremely happy with our tour and meeting you.
You made our day a pleasant lasting memory. If we return to Greece we will
certainly be back in touch with you and will highly recommend you to anyone
that is planning a trip. Sincerely, Ed Gold
Dear George,
On behalf of my family and I, thank you for such a great tour of Rhodes.
We enjoyed the beautiful sights of your island. I hope I get to return to
spend more time there. Thanks for your flexibility and kindness with those
of us with mobility problems. We would be happy to recommend you to anyone
traveling to Rhodes. Thanks again for being part of a memorable day in our
Mediterranean cruise. Ellen Diaz
Thank you so much George for the reference in Istanbul (though we are not sure anyone could top your service)...I will certainly recommend you to my mother who is a travel agent in Texas and would love to have you as a contact.
Take care and thank you, Julie Brown
George, please convey to your partner( DOMINIQUE) what a wonderful time we had with him. He made Rhodes an unforgettable place us in the short time
that we were there. We will email you a few photos so you won't forget us. Sorry that we were late coming off the ship, but I am glad that we hooked up.
Thank you, Bill and Betsy Sutherland
Thanks George.It was terrific. We had such a great time on our tour.
Definitely one of the highlights of our trip.
I am looking forward to coming back to your beautiful island sometime
soon!
Let me know when you will be in Washington DC. I would be happy to show you around.
Best regards, Larry Kaye
We are very sorry to miss the great opportunity to visit Rhodes island, and to meet you. Even though, we missed out on the great tour, I feel that I have found the tour guide that I will surely use and recommand to everyone who visits Rhodes island.
When the captain of Emerald Princess announced in the morning of August 28, 2007 that the ship could not dock at the island because of the wind and all the excursion booked through the Princess would be refund automatically, I started to panic. I was worried about you waiting at the dock without knowing the situation as well as being charged for the tour we could not take.
When I got in hold of you on the phone, your response was very special. "I am very sorry that I could not show you our island. I will not charge you for the tour since it is not your fault." It showed the pride for your island, and your great character. I expected you would say that I would be charged since I did not cancel early enough, or you were already at the dock waiting for us, etc. Instead, you were very professional unlike some other vendors.
Thank you. We are looking forward visiting Rhodes Island and you in the near future.

Thank you, George. We enjoyed our day on Rhodes very much. You did a great job for us.
We were particularly impressed with your ability to avoid the crowds at all the 'hot spots'.
We look forward to another visit to your beautiful island.
Tom and Christine Warsop
Hi George, Our group had a fabulous time in Rhodes & our tour was wonderful.
Your island is beautiful & we all really hope to return some day. Thank you for everything.
Joyce Barwick
We highly recommend George for anyone visiting Rhodes. He met us at quayside right on time in a nice very clean smoke free merc and took us on a highly informative and entertaining day around Rhodes and Lindos. This was notwithstanding a farmers strike blocking the Lindos road.Excellent english, knowledgable of his Island and NO pressure tactics re friends or families shops. We would certainly use him again.

• George
Thank you for a delightful tour of Rhodes today. We were able to see all of the places that we hoped to see in our brief visit. We could not have done that without taking your tour.
I was very surpised to get a call that my hat was returned. I assume that you brought it to the ship. I really appreciate you bringing the hat. It is a hat that I really like and I assumed that I lost it forever. Many thanks!

• Hi George,
On behalf of my wife, my brother, and his wife, I wanted to thank you for the excellent experience that we had in Rhodes and Lindos with you during our recent vacation. You are the best! We plan to come back to Rhodes to visit and hopefully see the Grand Master's Castle. Hope to see you then!

• We want to thank you so much for the special care you provided last week when you took us to Gennadi. It was such a personalized trip in that you went way out of your way to help us find what we wanted. When I wrote the book for Mr. Athanas I hoped someday to visit Rhodes and see two things: his high school and his home town of Gennadi. You did both for us and it was such an emotional high for me. I never expected to get such a guide as you with such great command of the English language and provide such a personal touch. It seemed like we had known you for such a long time after we got out of your taxi because you gave so much of yourself. It seemed like we actually knew your family as well.The car itself was extremely comfortable and clean. You knew so much about the island and Greek customs and were able to share it it an expert fashion. We have already spoke highly of you here on our island in hopes that we can spread the word of you and your talents. I also spoke advocated your services to Panos, ship's guide for gate1travel.com, for any future clients.
Hope all goes well with you, your wife, and the twins. Our best, Jay and Pat Schofield
• Hello, George: I know it is a little late, but I wanted to thank you for our day in Rhodes. We really enjoyed it. Also, I wanted to let you know that I did post a recommendation for you on the cruise critic website. Regards and best of luck Cami Marsh
• Hello, George
We are back in Los Angeles. Thank you again for the private tour of Rhodes. Rhodes will always be one of my favorite places in Greece. We had a great time. It was very nice meeting you in person and I will highly recommend you to anyone I know who will go to Greece.
I will always remember that Rhodes is the daughter of the sun. No wonder you always have sunny days. Will be back there again some day. Thanks again!

• Hi George
Sorry this is so long coming but I had so much on my plate
when I returned home. All of us had a wonderful time and
all the pottery arrived safe and sound. Rhodes is so beautiful.
Thank you so much for making our tour so special. I will
be getting in touch with you later. I have some clients
that will need some tours.
Once again thank you

the highlights and the lunch made it especially pleasant.
Hope to see you again sometime.

• Hi George,
My friends Gail, Dianne and Ann still cannot get over the
wonderful day we had with you as our guide in Rhodes. You
are marvelous and we will recommend you to everyone we can
when they are visiting Rhodes. You are so knowledgeable,
taught us so much and took us to places we would never have
seen without your assistance. Thank you a million times!
I truly hope to return to Rhodes someday, I think I left
my heart in Lindos! Even if I couldn't speak a word of Greek
I would have thoroughly enjoyed your tour. To anyone reading
this, please book George, you'll be very glad you did! Stay
well George, we'll be sending you pictures soon. Me to kalo
na pas!

• Hi, George!
We just loved our time in Rhodes...and you made it magnificent!
We felt as though we got to see so much in such a short day!
Thank you so much,George!
I especially enjoyed our time at the beach in Lindos...and
the food at the tavern/restaurant was so terrific! Do you
know the name of the white wine that you recommended that
day for lunch? It was such a good wine and I would love to
try to get a case sent to me. It was a dry white wine withan
unusual label...perhaps if you could email me the name of
the wine and winery, I could contact them and order a case?
We are so glad that we made the trip to the Valley of the
Butterflies...what a spectacular sight! Yourchoices of shopping...poor,
poor Jim!!!...were so terrific...from potteryto coats...we
have some really special treasures to remind us of our day
with you in Rhodes! Oh, yes...and we had dinner at the Dinoris
Restaurant on the night we left you...it was so absolutely
delicious!!! We had that same wine...it is really my favorite!
We are already talking about planning our next trip to Rhodes
and will definitely let you know!
Please stay in touch... Nancy

• Rebecca and I are back in Kansas now. We had a great time
in Greece, especially in Rhodes. Thank you so much for touring
us around. We made it home with all our wine, We ended up
having to buy two extra bags to pack our purchases in, Greece
was so beautiful. I must come back some day. Take care.

• George was great, so personable and friendly! He also gave
us a great deal of information. I would highly recommend him
to anyone who needs a tour in Rhodes. This was our favorite
island in many ways.

• We had a wonderful tour with George while we were in Rhodes.
He was so informative and a great driver. Your island is so
beautiful and we found it so diverse from the drive through
the Old Town and the Palace of the Grand Master to Lidos/Acropolis....
the donkey ride to the Valley of the Butterflies and the beautiful
sea all around us. We will recommend you highly!
