A great trip - It was a long day... but well worth it. A friendly, helpful guide, fantastic scenery, two monasteries, breaks en route, a great price. It was pretty much everything it could be. I loved it - book with confidence.

Lovely day! - Great trip, excellent guide (Constantine) It's a long journey, but comfortable and you still feel as though you get to see the sites well, with 2 monastaries, a view point and a nice spot for lunch.

Incredible Monasteries! - It was excellent but be prepared that the bus doesn't have plugs to charge your devices and it is a long day! Definitely worth it!

A must see heritage site - Pick up point is easy to find and we left on time. There are around 20 people in our group. Meteora is an amazing site and the weather is excellent. The ride is long but there is a short break half way there. We spent around 2 hours visiting 2 monasteries. Had lunch before heading back to Thessaloniki. Highly recommended day trip.

Amazing Monastic Life … for the Fit - The sites were remarkable… how they accessed the monasteries was next to impossible. Guide was very good about explaining procedures and info. Bus was at capacity and we were stuffed into back seat with. 5 good sized people. That needs to be remedied.. and perhaps the order of seating because the people who arrived first were NOT first ones who had access to their choice of seats; first come should have first choice… not who can manage to get themselves first in line. Not guide’s fault; she did a great job. Tour company should figure out a system; either by arrival time at loading or by date of reservation.

Beautiful location needs a better tour operator - The bus driver and the guide were super nice and friendly but the tour operator Ammon Travel needs to make sure we go inside as a group without wasting time in line I’ve got an impression of being herded in and rushed In a restaurant we need to be fed same menu that may be offered in advance as option pre paid to save time and nerves to us and restaurant ‘ staff It was informative but rushed and stressful tour

Rip off restaurant - Meteora monasteries were worth seeing but unfortunately you will get dropped off at their recommended restaurant for a late lunch(Meteora Panorama) and get ripped off with small portions and high prices
