Excellent 3-hour overview of a beautiful city! - Katarina was an excellent teacher and took the time to make sure we were confident on this new machine. The trikkes were reliable and powerful enough to navigate the various surfaces and hills and precise enough to weave in and around crowds of people and other obstacles. The only downside is that the trikkes are quite bumpy on some surfaces; however, Katarina was sensitive to how long we rode on the different surfaces. There was ample stoppage time as well to take a quick break and get some pictures. Katarina's knowledge of the sights on the journey was helpful and her pleasant personality really made the trip very lovely for us. Would definitely recommend!

Excellent Tour! - Theodore was an amazing! We had so much fun scootering around Rhodes on trikkes. Theodore knew so much about the area and was so knowledgeable. We had so much fun with him and he was able to show us so much during our tour. My family of four had the best time on his tour. My sons were ages 10 and 12. My 10 year old is a handful. He has ADHD and struggles to listen. Theodore was beyond patient with him. We were grateful to all of the patience he granted our family. The trikkes were not difficult to learn and we always felt safe in Theodore's care. During our tour two immigrant children harassed our family but Theodore handled the situation with extreme professionalism, much more than I would have exhibited if I were in his shoes. I would not hesitate to recommend Theodore to all of my friends. He was the best tour guide and made us simply fall in love with Rhodes. Excellent experience!

Best excursion/tour of our Mediterranean cruise - Katrina was a wonderful excursion leader. She gave great instructions for the Trikkes and they were easy/fun to ride. We saw residential areas, the market, the port and she gave great information along the way about daily life in Rhodes/Greece. The info for the meeting point was accurate and easy to find - about a 15 minute easy walk from the cruise port. We would do this tour again and highly recommend it.

Excellent Trikke tour! - We booked the 3 hour Rhodes Trikke tour. The Trikke’s were uncomplicated, comfortable and easy to use. We covered a lot of ground around Rhodes and old town and our wonderful guide Katerina took us to many interesting sights we would not have found by ourselves.
Katerina was a friendly, knowledgeable, and professional guide. She had unending patience for questions and was happy to teach us some Greek conversational words and phrases. We stopped for lots of great photos assisted by Katerina who has an eye for photography. By the end of our tour we felt like we had made such a great friend in Katerina and Rhodes that we were sad to leave. Truly an unforgettable experience.
Best of memories, Ron and Hermione

Kalimera Katerina - Katerina our teacher and guide was very patient and interesting. After getting used to the Trikes we were zipping around Rhodes town. Because you are standing and in a raised position you have a good view, of what's around you.

Trikke Tour - Katerina was an amazing guide. It was my first time on a Trikke and she was very patient with me to get the hang of things, my husband has more experience and enjoyed himself. We started off slow so I could get used to the Trikke but once we went faster it was more fun. We took lots of photos and Katerina explained everything really well. It was a great experience!
