Tours de Comida en Rhodes

Piotr was a friendly, knowledgeable tour guide. We had some amazing food. I would highly recommend him.

I have used the services of tour guides a few times in the past when visiting particular cities on holiday that were historically particularly strong. I knew Rhodes was, hence the choice to visit. And I'm so glad I did this time as well, because what my son (18) and I learned would take some researching, and don't get me wrong, I did in advance. But we would miss the story telling and the unknown detail, and that's the best bit. Piotr's knowledge is second to none. He took us right off the beaten track, which he asked if we wanted to over breakfast and we jumped at the opportunity, and so there the layers of the history of Rhodes Town were scraped away, one by one. Can you believe it, we ended up UNDER the old castle which dominates the city, walking through tunnels mined in the 14th century by miners who were kidnapped through-out Europe by the Ottoman's when they lay siege. That's not on the map. He also took us to the street where the Hospitaller provided their services to the knights of various countries and languages, them being segregated by language. Reading it is one thing, but actually having it explained to you whilst you are looking at the very long buildings, divided up as it was and is now, brings it to life. The fooderies we indulged were so typical of the back street Rhodes Town (I am told by Piotr) and authentic. If my son and I had to make the choices we ate, we wouldn't have chosen them. They were delicious! Do try the local honey. It's to die for. In all, a very highly recommended and well spent 3 hours, which actually turned into nearly 4 (thank you Piotr), and I would suggest this tour to anyone who wants to not just visit, guess and say that was good, but finish the day as we have and say that was a fantastic day and it will not be forgotten.
