George was fantastic, knowledgeable and friendly. Our driver Elias was equally lovely and the whole tour well organised and paced. I had a minor injury to my foot and walked not my usual fast pace and this was no issue at all in terms of keeping up with the group and the visits to all those incredible monasteries.
