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!

Great to see Meterorea and loved our guide Yannis - Overall, this was a good tour. However, at the beginning we had trouble meeting our driver. After confirming a number of times via email with Dimitra (dispatcher), we were to meet our driver at 8am at our cruise port and let her know that we would be on a cruise and not have internet the day before; however, when at port got a message from our driver that he will meet us at 830am, he did not know that we had agreed for 8am with Dimitra. With a number of WhatsApp chats and a half an hour later, we got it together and met Yannis R. our driver in a comfortable van for the 7 of us. He was great to talk with and had lots of information to share about Greece and the area we drove through; he also ensured that we had opportunities to use clean bathrooms at the Travel Stop Restaurant with Sotiris. Although it was an overcast day due to the Sahara dust, Yannis R. ensured that we had great opportunities to take pictures of Meterorea Monastery. Yannis R is a great driver and ensured our 2 families enjoyed ourselves. We explored the Skites area and met with a local guide named, Niki. She was a wealth of information but we had to have an abbreviated version of the Varrulum Monastery. Since time was now tight we did not have an opportunity to see a second monastery, I think that the 1/2 hour delay would have made the difference in seeing the other monastery. We made it through the Thessonaliki traffic and got to our cruise port in time. Yannis R. made our excursion of Meterorea informative and memorable.

Amazing! - Yannis (I apologize if I got the spelling wrong) was a fantastic driver and we learned so much from him. He was a very good driver and we always felt safe even on some bendy roads. Meteora was phenomenal!!! We were on a cruise and timelines were easily met. Such a memorable day! Highly recommend!
