Fantastic tour - My family including 2 teenagers did this tour with Evan. We absolutely loved it. What a great way to experience and explore the local region. It was off the beaten track and mostly in the shade. This was our concern as temperatures even in the morning around +30. But when we hiked we had a lot of breeze. Fantastic way to arrive to the monastery too! It just opens up in front of you and views are spectacular. I’m so glad we’ve done it this way as it was truly magical. Full hike is about 7km. Our guide gave us lots of information and showed us wild life too

Best guide in Meteora - Christos was an amazing guide who told us all sorts of interesting historical events that took place in Meteora. He was a pleasant person who was very calm and funny. He showed and explained to us more stuff about tortoises and plants. It was an interesting and beautiful experience through the mountains.
