Embark on a private tour of Rhodes’ medieval palace, the Palace of the Grand Master. With your ticket included, all you need to worry about is enjoying your personalized tour with a licensed guide.  Enjoy skip-the-ticket-line entry to the palace, once home to the leader of the Knights of St. John of Rhodes.
