Reviews

I am glad that we booked this day tour to Meteora. Hotel Pick up was on time and we were greeted by our driver Mr. Alexandros who was an exceptional person and ready to go out of his way to meet our requirements. The drive was smooth and had time to stop for refreshments and needs. He took us to the right spots to enjoy/photography of the beautiful scenery and gave us plenty of time to visit the Monasteries. We also had time for a good tasty Greek lunch at Kalambaka before driving back to Athens. I highly recommend this Private day Tour to Meteora.

What an amazing experience! We actually used them for transfer from Volos, then for 2 tours the next day, and the following day for transfer to Athens (with a stop in Delphi along the way). They van was clean, the drivers were beyond educational (and fun too) and using Visit Meteora made the trip considerably more enjoyable! I cannot say enough about their professionalism and I highly, highly recommend!

Amazing trip! Driver was on time, personable and provided a comfortable Mercedes van for 6 of us. After a scenic drive from Athens to Meteora we added our guide George to the mix. Fabulous day spent with a knowledgable local guide. These monasteries are so beautiful and a stop not to be missed in Greece. Visit Meteora and their driver and guides went way beyond our expectations. We have traveled extensively and we believe this company is everything and more that a traveler could want.

I would like to thank George with Visit Meteora Travel for the excellent tour of Meteora and the organization of the tour from Athens. His love of the region and deep knowledge of history and culture was infectious. The backdrop of Meteora was breathtaking. The only disappointment was that we only allotted one day, in retrospect at least three to four days in the area is the minimum needed to explore this area. We will be back for a hiking tour and will definitely contact George again to arrange.
