I was previously in Rhodes and love to explore the paths and roads of the place I am in a rental car. On my first visit I had already seen that there are gravel paths in the mountains that you can hardly pass through with a regular car. With Uncharted Escapes off-road vehicles, that's obviously a piece of cake, and certainly with a V8 Discovery! The advantage here is that the driver is also the guide, so you get very targeted information in the compact setting of the car. Now...100 guides = 100 times a different approach or approach; our car had a guide with an encyclopedic knowledge about the many facets of the island of Rhodes, ranging from nature, (war) history, language, local customs and so much more... The mas was so enthusiastic in sharing his knowledge that he remained silent for maybe 5 minutes during the 8-hour trip. There are certainly people who will appreciate that, but there are as many people who like to enjoy the passing landscape where nothing is said for a moment. The fact is that those interested learn a lot and that after such a day you will see things through a different (read: less touristy) pair of glasses. For me personally, the off-road part could be a bit more extensive because I saw about 80% of the route covered earlier by rental car on my own. If you're not keen on a rental car, make sure to do this trip; it's not cheap but you'll get an impression of Rhodes that the big buses can never give you!

What a great time, thank you Thanassis 💖
Wow, what an amazing day! From start to finish, our driver, Thanassis, was fantastic. He was incredibly knowledgeable, friendly, and fun, and he took us to some of the island’s hidden gems that we never would have found on our own.
One of the highlights was stopping at a lovely little bar where the owners welcomed us so warmly and gave us samples of their homemade olive oil and honey. We also had lunch at a charming family-run restaurant serving authentic Greek food, and it was absolutely delicious.
The whole experience was unforgettable, and we would recommend this tour in a heartbeat!

A great way to explore more remote parts of Rhodes as well as some of the more familiar sights.
My son (21) and I wanted to take a trip we would both enjoy. We booked a day out with Unchartered Escapes to have an 'off-roading' experience of Rhodes.
We were concerned that the trip would be cancelled due to the recent storms, and we were relieved to hear it was going ahead, with our driver making adaptations as we went along (for example when it began to hail).
We were collected and dropped off at our hotel, and it was just us on the trip (probably because we are so early in the season).
We had a great day; our driver was friendly and informative, and happy to share his knowledge of Rhodes. We saw more than I have seen in my previous six visits to Rhodes as he took us to places that could only realistically be accessed by jeep.
We got to understand more about the history of Rhodes and the lives of the people who live here, both currently and in the past.
We also had a delicious lunch in Platania Village. They accommodated my dietary needs (gluten free) and we did our best to work our way through the plates of food that seemed to just keep coming! All the while taking in a beautiful view.
Although the trip isn't cheap, it is a similar price to some of the other safari tours.
It's definitely a bumpy experience; we both found the jeep comfortable and enjoyed being bumped around - but as the pre-booking information suggests, you may want to avoid this if you have a bad back.
Overall a great day out - thank you

Great day out
A great day out exploring hidden aspects of North Rhodes. Easily the best day of our two week trip. Our guide Thanassis was awesome and his enthusiasm and love of Rhodes made the trip a great experience. We intend to come back to Rhodes as soon as we can and will definitely be doing the South Rhodes trip when we do. He took us for an amazing lunch at the Perama Taverna in Platonia, I could happily eat the food there until I burst at the seams. Really can't recommend this tour enough.

The best trip in Rhodes
This tour is always the highlight of our trip to the Greek islands, but Thanissis(sorry if I spelled that wrong!) was exceptional. So much so we booked a second trip!
He went out of his way to make sure we had the best time. Unlike other islands the group work together and all of the drivers have a good time. If you do ANY trip on your holiday, make sure it’s this! 🇬🇷 ❤️ see you again next year!

A great day out!
We were excited to go on this trip to see more of the Island and enjoy hidden highlights of Rhodes.
Unfortunately, TUI did not stagger pick up times for the drivers nor agree on a pick up point. Meaning our driver (Thonoyis) was half hour late as he was trying to collect us from a different pick up point!
The vehicle was comfortable, had air con, and there were plenty of pit stops to allow you to stretch your legs and get a drink.
The driver was knowledgeable, friendly and managed the group well (3 English and 3 French speakers, 2 of which spoke very little English) ensuring everyone was involved in the conversations and tour.
The stops made were incredible. Picturesque surroundings/views, pretty villages, quaint monasteries all accompanied by interesting facts and stories. The tour guides know their stuff!
The lunch was a traditional Greek meal! I was blown away by the flavours and enjoyed every mouthful. Even my 13 year old cleared his plates! The portions are generous, and you will not be left hungry.
We throughly enjoyed this trip. Thank you for a great day!

Superb day
Excellent day of 8h ...
Our driver was at the top... kindness, safe driving, considerate.
He explained a lot about the island and its history.
Steep mountain paths, panoramic views, stop by the sea ... we keep only excellent memories.
Lunch stop: typical Greek restaurant where meat simmers in the wood-fired oven. Clean and family establishment ... a very nice address.
