I'll join the same tour again. - Konstantina was kind, very thoughtful, and made our one-day tour enjoyable despite the unfortunate rain. She also gave us detailed information about Terkenlis’ famous “Tsoureki” and other specialties. Next time, we hope for clear weather and will definitely join the same tour again.

Meteora - If you're in Greece , Meteora is a must as it is breathtaking and so amazing. We were a group of 6 Maltese friends and visited on the 4th February .We were impressed by the beauty of this place. One would think that it is a dream Eleni was so precise and accurate in her explanations and she was so sweet and informative too.

Good experience once in a lifetime - The journey to Meteora was definitely very long, with a stopover in between after 1 hour 45 minutes, and another hour and 30 minutes to the area of the monasteries. We covered two out of the six monasteries. The lunch was a good one at a local restaurant albeit a little expensive but it was unique.

Fantastic trip! - Meteora was stunning and the day was just perfect: sunny and warm. Our guide/driver, Giannis, was knowledgeable, kind, accommodating, and patient. Aside from a little bit of the squeeze, nine people in a nine-seat van, the trip was great.

Pro: ... - Pro: the views Cons: - Long day - total 8 hours drive for less than 3 hours in monasteries. - In monasteries - tourists everywhere, there's literally no monastery-like atmosphere - The guide didn't come inside the monasteries to give information, there was just a bit of explaining now and then during the bus ride - worst part was being brought to a very expensive restaurant for lunch. While the food was good, the prices where at least double of what you'd expect in Greece, plus, food options were very limited. Moreover, there were no others restaurant options nearby, at walking distance, that you can reach and have food in the limited time given.
