Reviews
On Good Friday, my husband and I took a private six-hour Monastery tour. Our guide, Vangelis Kourelis, was stellar! With three weeks traveling Greece under our belt, this day has been one of the best. Vangelis is extremely knowledgeable about history of this area and all of Greece. His English is perfect and we had great conversations about the history, religion, area, etc. we were lucky, since Good Friday all the Monasteries were open. Had time to see five(visited 6th on our own next day). Also, visited the old Byzantine church in Meteora. The price for private tour was very reasonable and so worth it. HIGHLY RECOMMEND!!!
We already knew well about Meteora's history but our driver was amazing. Excellent English, very good and cautious driver, polite and new best friend of lur 6yo boy.Add to this he was a local and had also a very good knowledge of the local history.He even managed to take us to the monasteries and viewpoints while avoiding the rush lf the big tour groups.Clean and very comfortable car.I recommend using their services any day.
