Santorini Explorer Tour Reviews
Guest reviews from travelers on Explorer tours in and around Santorini
Martin H | Traveled in July
Overall I really enjoyed this trip. I really wish we had more time in Meteora, but that's probably the only large change I would have made. Nikos did an amazing job with our group for Athens to Santorini, making sure everyone feel very comfortable while also having a lot of fun.
Mythri R | Traveled in June
Lovely trip to Crete, showing the highlights of the island. It was nice to visit the smaller villages that I wouldn’t have known of. Beautiful scenery, clear blue water, and nice pebble beaches. The CEO Sakis was excellent and helped navigate us throughout the trip and recommended some really nice restaurants and bakeries. Ending in Santorini to see a different island with completely different vibe was a good way to end the trip.
Devon S | Traveled in June
I summed it up in my comments about my two awesome CEOs, Oliver and Vas, but I would just like just like to add that this was my first trip with G Adventures, and (fingers crossed) definitely not my last! Greece is a beautiful, complex, and diverse country, and I'm so grateful to have experienced it through this tour. Exploring the lush forests of Corfu, seeing the ancient ruins in Athens, walking through a village in Naousa, Paros, visiting the beaches of Ios, and of course, the ending in the iconic town of Fira in Santorini, all of these incredible experiences and memories were only enhanced by my CEOs, and my travel groups. I honestly couldn't ask for more out of a trip. To this day, I'm still a little amazed that I got to experience it at all. What a gift!
Cindy C | Traveled in June
This was a trip not to be missed!! The beauty of the country was breathtaking, and having an opportunity to explore remote villages and hikes with almost no other people around was magical. I loved the entire experience!
Carol S | Traveled in June
The trip was great with a good paced itinerary. The guide was lovely. The only thing I would change is the walking/food tour. It was long and hot, I would recommend seating at each food stop.
Carol G | Traveled in June
It was wonderful to experience Greece with others without feeling like I should find a friend to travel with. Our CEO’s enthusiasm about the culture was contagious. Thanks for creating an active vacation experience!
