Wonder experience - Amazing tour. The pictures are are not even close to the actual view. It was worth it. Our driver, Yannis, was wonderful. The day started with him picking us up in a luxury vehicle at our Airbnb and it ended with h dropping us off at the same location. He had a lot of information about what we went to see. The ride to the location was beautiful. I loved this experience. Worth the money.

Breathtaking experience. - The whole experience was very memorable starting with the drive, the three monasteries we visited, the beautiful mountain/rock formation culminating with a seaside late afternoon seafood dinner. Our driver was great, very knowledgeable on Greek culture and history, made the drive very enjoyable.

Delightful Day! - The driver was super --very friendly, informative and talkative. We learned a lot from him not only about Meteora but about Greece in general. The weather was delightfully breezy and cool up in those mountains while Athens was sizzleing hot!

Your personal chorus in the Sophoclean, not Euripidean, tradition - The private tour was the highlight of my family's trip and I can't recommend it enough. Meteora speaks for itself, but the warm and confidential care of our guide was what really made it an unforgettable experience. If you can, ask for Vasilios, whose knowledge as to the rich drama of Greek history gave life to every site, and whose boundless hospitality and good humor put us immediately at ease from the beginning until, at the end, it felt as if we had made a dear friend.
