The perfect tour guide - Our guide Yiannis was fantastic. He knew the history of everywhere we went through (modern and historic) but more importantly very practical and catered to our interests. We did a day trip to Meteora from Thessaloniki to see the monasteries. He took us to that the right places including monasteries , the caves below, a picture perfect cliff side view of multiple monasteries, a killer restaurant ( everything we ate and the staff were as good as it gets), and a cute roadside stop for a break, bathroom and snacks. It is one thing to get a killer guide, it is another to get a wonderful conversationalist in the car with you. You are spending the day with a stranger and it did not feel that way with Yiannis. We have booked private tours like this in quite a few countries and this was by far the best! Book Viator and request Yiannis with no hesitation.

A great day with Yanis. - Yanis, our driver and guide, was perfect. We wanted a private tour because we wanted to decide for ourselves where we wanted to go and how much time we wanted to spend at each spot. He was very accommodating. He also know a great rest. Stop for us and a delicious incredible place for lunch. Everybody knew him and we felt like special friends whoever have arrived. But more than that, he’s a great conversationalist… And we learned a lot about the politics and laws of Greece. Very lovely day. The time flew by.

Beautiful monastries, well worth a visit! - We had a fantastic day with our brilliant driver Yannis. He's informative and a great guy to chat to. The monasteries are simply stunning and well worth the journey from Thessaloniki to see them.

THE BEST !! - Just fabulous. George our guide was very friendly, knowledgeable, helpful, great at communication. He knew everything you would possibly need to know. We saw more than we thought we would plus a lovely late lunch at a small restaurant on the way home. We were all very very happy. Thank you George and the tour company. We were a group of 4 Australians. Great value for money too.

Amazing Day trip to Meteora - A group of 8 of us took this day trip to Meteora. I can’t recommend it enough. Not only was the scenery and Monisteries beautiful, but George, our tour guide was wonderful. He told us about the history of the area and Greece. He was kind, funny and patient with the 6 of us crazy females 😀. The guys in our group were very glad they had other male companionship. If you take this tour, definitely ask for George - he won’t disappoint, I promise. If I could give more stars, I would. George - thank you for everything!

Fantastic cruise day trip! - We had a wonderful trip to Meteora with our guide/driver George. Although the guide does not accompany you into the monasteries, George was very enthusiastic about sharing his knowledge of Greece and the Meteora region and we felt we had all the information we needed. He was also great at pointing out good vantages to take photos from and restaurants for lunch. Would highly recommend!
