Travel through the stunning landscape of mainland Greece on this 7-day tour of ancient sites and scenic beauty. Explore Athens and its iconic Acropolis before heading to the Peloponnese to see Epidaurus and the ruins of Mycenae. Discover Olympia, birthplace of the Olympic Games, and the sacred sanctuary of Delphi. The journey continues to Meteora, where centuries-old monasteries sit atop towering rock pillars, with a brief stop at historic Thermopylae on the return to Athens. A captivating blend of history, legend, and dramatic landscapes.
You really do need two weeks to cicumnavigate Sicily and see things properly. Any shorter and you'll get just a couple highlights or get very rushed from place to place. This tour had good pace, gave sufficient time in major sites (Syracuse, Agrigento, Palermo, Villa del Casale) and included gems like Morgantina, Mozia Island, and Enna.
Antonio is an exceptional wealth of information, its obvious he has a professional background in Sicilian history. The level of historical, cultural and architectural background information was tremendous, helped greatly to put things in context and understand the flow and changes absorbed by this island that resulted in what we were seeing.

A great grip with amazing food, cultural experiences, sights, activities, and people. Venice, Florence, Rome, Pisa, and Milan were amazing. I highly recommend it as a way for people to see Rome and Northern Italy.
The best tour we have ever been on. Magdalena was a fantastic guide! She was extremely well prepared and organised, knowledgeable and lots of fun. Magdalena went out of her way to find new experiences that she thought the group would enjoy. We walked to places that we would never have found by ourselves and stayed in villages that were off the tourist track. The hotels were clean and comfortable. We are already looking for other walks run by Explore World and preferably led by Magdalena.
We have already recommended this tour to many people we have met since we finished the walking tour.

Excellent trip and very good guide in AJ.
Only negative was hotel in Florence. Good location (change from original hotel) but was tired and cleanliness could have been better. Very cramped solo room 🙁
Highlights were Pienza and Castellina in Chianti. Great hotels, beautiful walks and really good food and wine. 😀
