Reviews
The trip was excellent, couldn't recommend it more for a day trip outside of Athens. The views and monasteries were incredible. Train journey was nice and easy, picked up at the station to go up to the monasteries and dropped back off at the station.
Katerina our tour guide was so knowledgable and friendly, alongside our lovely driver. They really made the trip fun and personable. Even offered to take photos of us at certain viewpoints and pointed out good places to grab a bite to eat before catching the train home.
Wow! Book this trip with this company with confidence.We have several friends traveling to Greece soon and we recommended this company to them.
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.
