The tour was really great. Communications to the info emailaddress was good and we could easily arrange a pick up place near our hotel. It was a half day tour which for us was enough time. We saw the 6 monasteries and we had plenty of time to visit 3 inside and a good view of the area and monasteries by minivan, which was awesome and certainly worth the trip to and from Athens of 5 hours with train and bus. Easy connections as well. Train (Hellenic train) leaves from Larissa station and connects to bus at paleofarsalos to Kalampaka. Really great and well worth trip and money

Excellent excursion: our guide gave us very good explanations about the history of the construction of the monasteries. We often stopped at strategic points to take pictures. The road to Meteora is panoramic and the stops every 2 hours are very appreciated.

Our driver Alex was spectacular, friendly, informative, and helpful. He accommodated every need we had traveling with a small child, and improvised our itinerary with precision and professionalism to ensure we had the best possible experience.

Trip was super interesting but very compacted in a day. If you have the possibility I’d recommend couple of days for meteora

I loved everything. It was very beautiful and breathtaking.
