Andes Volcanoes Trips

The range of activities; embracing walking, stunning scenery and fascinating history coupled with our amazing guide Lara providing comprehensive information on the geology, history and culture contributed to a truly memorable experience.

We've traveled with Explore many times and this trip was excellent. We had the chance to experience four islands with a mixture of hiking/walking and seeing various parts of the islands as well. The tour leader, Tania, was outstanding -- very enthusiastic and engaged. We had a smaller group which were well matched for walking, so that was helpful. While my wife and I walk/hike a lot, I will say that some of these walks could be challenging if you are a "casual" walker and not used to mountain paths or inclines. The pace of the overall trip was brisk without being overwhelming and we had no weather issues at all. Lodging was excellent and all travel arrangements were spot-on. There were a few group dinners, but most evenings were free to make your own choices for food. We would highly recommend this trip.

A great way to see some Greek islands and Athens. There is a fair amount of free time on this tour especially if not doing the optional walks and boat trips so I would recommend doing some research beforehand on things to do or places to visit to make the most of your trip.

I’ve been with Explore many times, and this trip was right up there, Fotis the tour leader was so enthusiastic and we all became good friends, one of the best.

Explore are really excellent. Our flight with EasyJet was cancelled as we were about to leave for Bristol airport at 4.00am on Sunday. EasyJet offered us an alternative flight two days later which would mean missing our walking group completely as we were island hopping. We rang the Explore Duty Manager who managed to sort out a new flight from London. His quick actions saved our holiday.

A fab holiday. An interesting time in Athens, really loved it so much to see and do from ancient to modern. A great time island hopping with Peter our leader at the helm. Nothing was too much trouble for him to sort out when needed, so thank you. All the islands visited were very different and our escorted walks very invigorating. Travelled with a lovely group so had a great time.
