A wonderful experience - It was a wonderful experience! I could not be able to choose my favorite part of the hike because the whole activity was perfect thanks to the guides and the landscape.

Beautiful evening hike through the secret caves of Meteora - Amazingly beautiful hike through the towers of Meteora. The hike started in Kastraki and ended at the sunset rock. In all, we were hiking about 3.5 hours. Nicklaus was an amazing guide! Highly recommend him…

Hidden trail - We were fortunate to have Christos as our guide for our hike. He taught us about the various plants and herbs in the woods…very informative and fun! Beautiful trails. He has been named « teacher « and rightly so. Highly recommend.

Outstanding hiking experience - Last week we went hiking with Giorgos from Meteora trip. We made the reservation last minute, the night before. Thanks to their good communication and organisation this was no problem. We had an amazing time hiking to the Meteora monasteries, two of whom we visited. The local guide gave us a lot of interesting information, not only about the monasteries, but also about the surrounding nature and Greece in general. We were picked up and dropped of at the hotel. We highly recommend this experience to everyone who wants to get the maximum out of his Meteora visit.
