Really fun way to get to grips with the history of Rhodes, especially with a child in tow. I’ve taken party in a few similar things in the past, and this one had a few extra tricks up its sleeve. The displays outside were focused on an adult audience, but there were a couple of lovely photo opportunities there for the little ones.

Definitely worth a visit on your first days in Rhodes!) Emotions and a brief history of the island 🥰 Very interesting, not long, not short, everything in moderation!) Very interesting mini museum at the cinema

air conditioned bus that picked us up from outside our hotel as requested. the driver was lovely and dripped us into the centre of old Rhodes town. 💯 recommended

Really good value in comparison go other options and our driver was really thoughtful/ safe.

Good technology, well managed and very professional… absolutely worth doing!
