Sheila | Traveled in October
A lovely trip from start to finish, great leader, good group and just loved the different Greek Islands. The itinerary was just right with plenty of free time for relaxing.
Ken | Traveled in October
Our guide Charlotte was the amazing...very knowledgeable, organised and efficient {a lot of coordinating transport from island to island}. Most of all she has a wonderful kind and caring personality...and managed to smile all the time!
Larry | Traveled in October
With every trip I have done with Explore, the guides were excellent. Charlotte, the Greek island wander guide matches this excellence and then easily exceeds it. Because of how thorough, friendly and helpful she was, the trip was superb from end to end and for every detail. Even when I had free time, if I asked for information about what I planned to do, she was helpful. Every question was answered with a smile The trip itself was fantastic; a wonderful balance between tour led excursions, hikes and free time
Maggie | Traveled in October
This was the second time we had been on the trip because we had enjoyed it so much the first time (May 2012). The itinerary was very similar but having a 'local' tour leader made the experience even better. Peter was able to provide background information and recommend places for eating, additional excursions, etc. He was particularly good at helping the group to 'gel' with his great sense of humour and keeping us engaged on long bus journeys. The official guides at sites such as Olympia, Mycenae and the Acropolis were also excellent, although we would have liked a little more time to explore freely at a couple of places, e.g. Delphi. We are aware that the itinerary was busy, however, and could not accommodate everything! Overall, it was an excellent tour which we would definitely recommend.
Sandra | Traveled in October
This trip was a good introduction to Greece, the islands and the ferry system. There was a good mix of organized activities and free time for exploration. The guide went out of her way to make sure everyone had options, geared to their interests and abilities. I enjoy walking/hiking, and there was plenty of opportunity to do that along breathtaking scenery. Overall, a great trip!

Hiking in Delphi and Meteora was nothing short of magical. Our stay in Meteora was a highlight, just minutes from the trails to the suspended monasteries. Breakfast with a stellar view of Meteora’s surreal rock formations was truly unforgettable.
