Santorini Tours and Trips

Very fun trip, we got lucky with an amazing trip manager! Definitely recommend. As a history/mythology lover, I loved the trip manager talks which were entertaining and informative, so there was a great mix of adventure, learning, and fun!

A great holiday, Athens is well worth a visit but doesn't need more than a couple of days to explore unless you intend to venture outside the city. Naxos is beautiful, particularly the inland towns included on the walking day. The only 'downer' on our holiday was a couple of people having their baggage stolen on a ferry!! Santorini is spectacular with some amazing views. The whole trip was excellently led as I've come to expect with Explore and lovely hotels throughout.

There were many highlights of this tour (in October)! The food was excellent - both the breakfasts in the hotels and the restaurants recommended by our tour leader George. The hotels all had very good accommodation. The guided tour of the Acropolis in Athens was fascinating. The 7 hour ferry ride from Athens to Naxos was tedious but smooth and comfortable. Naxos is a charming island - we loved the old town with its narrow, winding streets. The 5km walk to Apiranthos was very enjoyable, with wide views and the jangling bells of the goats. Then on to Santorini - what a stunning landscape! Discovering its volcanic history was fascinating, and the 10km hike along the caldera was tiring but gave fascinating, varied things to see. The prehistory museum in Fira with its nearly 4000 year old frescoes was amazing. And the boat trip was exciting as we visited and hiked up a recent volcanic island, and enjoyed a tasty dinner and a sunset on board. Throughout the trip our tour leader George was well organised, patient, knew many good restaurants and had a lovely sense of humour. Plus he taught us a lot about Greek history and culture. This tour is highly recommended!

The Greek island hopper tour was everything I could have asked for and more! Lauren McLean (tour guide) was a true gem and made the trip so enjoyable along with a fantastic group of strangers who are now life long friends.

This trip was incredible from start to finish! The way it was planned and the islands we went to were beautiful! The way it was organised and knowing we had a tour guide who was so kind and reliable made this solo trip so easy and stress free. I would recommend this trip to anyone!

My Greece trip was incredible! From exploring Athens’ history to the beauty of Mykonos, Ios, and Santorini, every stop was stunning. Perfect balance of culture, relaxation, and fun—I couldn’t have asked for a better experience.
