This tour was excellent. We were fortunate to have a small group. Nicholas was very informative and you could tell he loved telling us about the history of Meteora. We appreciated also stopping to see the Byzantine Church of the Dormition of the Virgin Mary. The sunset location was beautiful. We highly recommend this tour.

This experience is a must do and the icing on the cake was the sunset view. You would miss many of the highlights on your own.

We had a wonderful afternoon tour. George was entertaining and so full of info. The info, the amazing mountains was the perfect backdrop to take in one of the most beautiful sights I have seen.
The tour bus picked us up and dropped us off near our apartment we were staying. The driver was safe and the minibus cool which was great especially with the hot weather.
I highly recommend the tour. We learnt so much.

This was an absolutely fantastic tour. Our guide was great, super knowledgeable and friendly. the monasteries were gorgeous, and the rock where we watched the sunset from was perfect. A little cloudy, but no where near anyone's fault or control. I would recommend this tour to anyone.

We had a nice experience during this tour. They came to pick us up from the hotel.
Me and my friend family book this tour together. We both had total 4 small kids (age between 4 to 11) with us. Our Tour Guide Maria was knowledgable and super friendly with the kids and was answering all the questions they had very happily. Tour driver was also friendly and helped us to take our family and group photos.
In fact, we were very surprised to see the friendliness of Maria and the tour staff. During our 7-day stay in Greece *most* of the time we were very badly treated by hotel staff, restaurant staff, and taxi drivers. Maybe they do not like our skin color. I will never recommend anyone to visit Greece.
We had a very pleasant experience during this trip.
There was no rush during the trip and they gave us plenty of time to take pictures on the way. They also provided water bottles as it was supper hot during the time we visited.

4-hour tour to discover the monasteries with bus tour, you visit only the monastery of Santo Stefano. We were lucky as we witnessed a spectacular sunset. Good guide although we could not take advantage of the audio guides in Italian and the Wi-Fi on the bus
