Outstanding tour and guide! - Harry was excellent! Very friendly and flexible about stops and which monasteries I would like to visit. Meteors is a beautiful place that must be seen - and the way to see it is with Harry as your guide on this tour. Highly recommended! A+

Uniquely beautiful tour and excellent tour guide! - This was our first trip to Greece and we couldn’t be happier that we chose this tour. The views of the monasteries were incredible and the tour guide (Nathan) was excellent! The views of the monasteries, including the caves, were jaw dropping. Nathan’s professionalism, knowledge of Greek history, and sense of humor made this tour even more enjoyable. Take note that you will do steps on this tour. Comfy shoes, extra water bottles, and ‘modest’ dress per the monastery rules are a must. Note that when we were there, all of the monasteries had scarves and skirts to borrow. Nathan’s lunch suggestion was terrific and we have to agree that the lamb is delicious. All in all this was a great day and definitely a bucket list tour.

Awesome experience at Meteora - Photos don’t do justice to the awesome experience we had at Meteora. The views of the monasteries and rock formation was so surreal. Our guide and driver Jason was on time to pick us up from the hotel, spoke really good English and shared some history along the way. We visited a couple of monasteries at our own pace and didn’t have to rush for anything. Food at Kalabaka was ok (like any other touristy place). Overall, a great experience and would highly recommend both the tour and tour company, if you can spare one whole day for this.

Wonderful excursion! - Well worth the trip from Athens! The drive is scenic and beautiful, and Meteora itself is just incredible! Our driver, Anthony, was wonderful. He took us to the monasteries and all of the best spots to take pictures and then to a great local taverna for lunch before our return to Athens. It was a long day but an experience you can't miss!

What an Experience - We booked this tour based on the reviews of many people (thank you!) as well as our own experience on Santorini. Our group of 3 were picked up on time by Giorgos who came with pastries!!! What a way to start the day! It is a long drive, but Giorgos was great to talk with and we learned a lot about Meteora and Greece. None of us had been north of Athens but were so glad we had this opportunity. The landscape and mountains are just beautiful. The monasteries were very beautiful inside and out. The gardens are well appointed and are full of bright colors. Being brought up in the Greek Orthodox Church, the insides were like a museum - beautiful. After visits and additional stops for photos, Giorgos recommended a restaurant in town. The food and service were wonderful! Thank you Giorgos & Crispy Locals - you are all the best!

Meteora Day Trip - Excellent transportation in a very nice vehicle! Our driver was friendly and offered good conversations about Greek culture and history without being overbearing. The monasteries were beautiful and breathtaking! Our driver was patient and gave us adequate time to explore on our own. Wed highly recommended this experience!
