Shocking service left...
Shocking service left driving licence back in the uk so my mum took a picture of it and sent it to me most places have been fine went to the jeep tour today wasn’t allowed to go incase it a fake id I said that’s ok then can we have ate money back and they have denied this which now I am £190 down because they didn’t make it clearer so I really wouldn’t suggest these people
Response from the operator: To avoid all kinds of unpleasant surprises when driving outside the UK—for example, in Greece, Germany, Italy, the US, etc.—please remember one simple rule - if the traffic police stop you, you may experience “ shocking service” if you cannot present your original driver’s license, unless your mum is kind enough to deliver the required original to your location right away. That is exactly why your attempt to participate in this activity as a driver was declined. If international driving requirements are not your strong point, please take a closer look at the Additional Info section of this tour description, which clearly states: “A valid original driver’s license is required. Copies, scans, or digital reproductions are not accepted.” If you are new to Viator, when booking future activities, we strongly recommend reviewing the tour description carefully. If anything is unclear, Viator Customer Care is available 24/7 to assist you. Safe and happy travels!

Off road rhodes experience
It is definitely a different way to see Rhodes going up the Forest tracks. The only issue to note that they use a small 4x4 and I found it only suitable for two persons if you are either on the larger size or tall. All in all it was an enjoyable day and you will master a manual gear box especially going up the steep inclines.

Exciting journey Rhodes
The vehicles were easy to handle, making the trip enjoyable and stress free. There are many scenic routes that took us through varying landscapes, with some patches of track providing an added adrenaline rush. While some sections were challenging, the jeeps handled them with ease.

Stole my heart
The Seven Springs area is gorgeous – the walk through that dark tunnel was way more fun than I expected. The springs themselves are tiny but pretty, and yeah, we totally sipped from all seven… just in case the seven-years-of-good-luck thing is real! Later, we checked out this ancient church - simple but peaceful – and then hit up a family-run winery. The wines were great, but the souma (local spirit) packed a punch! The lunch though… oh man. Eleven courses of Rhodian classics, from creamy tzatziki to melt-in-your-mouth lamb. Left stuffed but happy.

Why this scores 56
The Outty Ranking is a weighted composite. Here is how this experience performed on each component.
Rhodes Self Drive 4x4 Offroad Adventure with Gourmet Lunch: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Rhodes.
How much does Rhodes Self Drive 4x4 Offroad Adventure with Gourmet Lunch cost?
+
Prices start at $137 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Rhodes usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Rhodes Self Drive 4x4 Offroad Adventure with Gourmet Lunch take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Rhodes is not rushed.
Is Rhodes Self Drive 4x4 Offroad Adventure with Gourmet Lunch worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 56 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.2/5 across 9 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Rhodes, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Rhodes Self Drive 4x4 Offroad Adventure with Gourmet Lunch?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Rhodes Self Drive 4x4 Offroad Adventure with Gourmet Lunch suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Rhodes Self Drive 4x4 Offroad Adventure with Gourmet Lunch?
+
Around 3 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Rhodes can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Rhodes and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Rhodes Self Drive 4x4 Offroad Adventure with Gourmet Lunch start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Rhodes within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Rhodes?
+
On Outty we rank every Rhodes experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Makarounas Fishing Boat Trip with swimming stop and BBQ on board, Rhodes Exclusive Swim Cruise Cocktail Open bar & Gourmet Buffet, Athens cruise: Agistri, Moni/Metopi, Aegina with lunch & drinks. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Rhodes?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Rhodes?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
