Worth the time and money!
We chose the three night trip that included Delphi. The trip to Meteora is one of the highlights of our five week trip to Greece and Italy. All of our travel connections were perfectly coordinated and the guides very knowledgeable. We were happy with the Lodging accommodations. I will recommend this trip to all our friends wanting to travel to Greece.
5 stars aren't enough
First, the customer service was awesome. Everything was always on time. The guides were amazing, they knew so much about the place and they were so kind and ready to wait when people were taking photos or whatever.
They showed us some places that weren't too much crowded and they told us a lot of things about Meteora. Seriously, we took the 2 days rail tour from Athens and this is so much worth it. If you think it's too much expensive, you are wrong, it's a cheap price to pay for what we had. We loved the place, but the awesome customer service made the trip magical. Thanks a lot four your great tour!
Our trip to Meteora was organised by VisitMeteora company. They were exemplary. All pickups were punctual, vehicles were safe and immaculate, drivers careful and courteous and the guide Vasilis was thoughtful, and provided relevant information in an interesting manner. In addition, on arrival in Meteora we had an emergency situation and the office staff and manager couldn't have been more helpful.
We have traveled extensively and we believe this company is everything and more that a traveler could want.
