What other tourists are
saying about us

Visiting Meteoras was on my bucket list ever since my mother visited it. It was a breathtaking special experience. We are an undergraduate couple from Hungary. We made the best choice with choosing this travel agency. We would have never known this much of the history of this unique place. I am addicted to history, and after visiting Rome this was my best experience. it was a bless, a sentimental visit. Maria, our tour guide was even better: she grew up on this area, her personal stories, humor made this trip so touching. Our driver was sooo cute, he helped taking pictures, came to us, set the position, and our best pictures are the ones that he made. We cannot say anything, just thank you for this once in a lifetime experience. We travelled by trains from Thessaloniki, our trip was good, because the agency gave everything to us: basically, your job was to get on the train and then get off. 🙂 You have to see these blessed monasteries. Also, the view is amazing: you can't miss it.

My day trip from Thessaloniki to Meteora was one of my greatest experiences as an avid traveler. Beautiful, historical and unlike any place I have seen, Meteora is a must. The team at Visit Meteora went above and beyond in helping me orchestrate the logistics of my trip, and I cannot speak highly enough of Eva, who was an absolute fantastic guide and whose enthusiasm and knowledge made this trip all the more special. Highly, highly recommend traveling with Visit Meteora if you are in the vicinity, even if just for the day trip.

It was a little bit of a "last minute" decision, we initially thought of doing it in a little different manner, but it all turned out great. All the vouchers were immediately sent upon payment, with exact information "where to go, when to go", we were met at the Kalambaka train station by Vassilis (I hope I didn't misspell his name), who turned out to be a real gold mine in terms of history knowledge for the area and more. I would definitely recommend to anyone looking for a good value travel agency!!
