Visit to Meteora - Excellent trip. The guide was extremely competent and well informed. The bad part of the trip was the bus. Spending 10hours in one day inside a bus, with very narrow... read more seats is EXTREMELY uncomfortable. Apparently this seems being the same situation in all tourist companies.
The food was expensive and pretty basic. Discovering that the food was not included in the visit was not very nice. It is these kind of situation were you read the conditions of a trip and when you are offer a promotion with special price, you assume that this was included and it is not.

This tour is both a visit to exquisite landscapes and a pilgrimage to a holy place. Be prepared to have your breath taken away every few seconds. We are incredibly... read more grateful to have been guided by Christos who brought us on a journey not a tour and really made Meteora come alive for us. We visited the Saint Stephen's Nunnery (the Holy Monastery of Agios Stefanos) and a hidden gem - the byzantine church of the Assumption of Virgin Mary. It is astounding that this precious holy place remains somewhat under the radar and in the shadow of monasteries hovering above. The artwork and frescoes are beautiful and unique and the whole effect of the church is magical. A truly hidden gem and the most spectacular part of a sunset tour of Meteora. Of course, watching a magnificent sunset made for the perfect end to a perfect day.

He was like a walking historybook, he knew so many details about the area, the monasteries and the history. He also had such a great sense of humour. What an excellent guide he is! We visited Anapafsas monastery and after that an amazing church. Made many stops to take photos and ended our tour to the Sunset rock with a lovely sunset before heading back to Kalambaka. What a fun evening. Thank you so much for making the trip so special, Dimitry!
